Aside from the ASUS Zen AiO Pro that was launched in the country, barrages of laptops were introduced at the event. ASUS Philippines has introduced the line-up of notebooks that are powered by the latest 6th generation Intel Core processors that offers portable design and improved performance and you know the best part? These devices are now pre-installed with the latest Microsoft Windows 10.
If there’s a notebook series that can match up Apple’s Macbook line, it’s the Zenbook notebooks of ASUS. These laptops not only have an ultra powerful hardware but they also have a design that is really pleasing to the eyes.
The first one is the Zenbook Pro UX501. This laptop packs a design that is slim and compact, which is just at 20.6mm. Its surface is also made up of metal and the diamond-cut chamfers are really something that could really amaze you. The Zenbook Pro UX501 packs a 4K resolution on a 15.6-inch VisualMaster Multi-touch display with IPS technology. When it comes to processing power, the ASUS Zenbook Pro UX501 comes with the latest 6th generation Intel Core processor and GeForce GTX 960M which is really great for gaming. Storage? You don’t have to worry about getting bottleneck with that because this one also runs on the world’s fastest 256GB PCIe x4 SSD. Despite that, the Zenbook Pro UX501 offers a 6 hours of battery life.
However, if you want something smaller and more portable that is really great for office and school use then you might want to get your eyes on the ASUS Zenbook UX305LA. Actually, this is my favorite notebook from ASUS. This one is crafted with an all-aluminum design and it just measures 12.3mm thin. This notebook also packs a 13.3-inch display with Full HD resolution.
This is my favorite notebook because not only it packs the latest 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor and Nvidia GPU, but this one is also sports a silky-smooth ceramic alloy and metal finish.
There’s the ASUS X555UB too which has a cheaper price than the Zenbooks but still sports a spectacular hardware. Yep, there’s the latest 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GPU inside which will make sure that your laptop runs really well on some heavy applications and games.

Sorry, I think you got the specs wrong? If it’s the 6th generation intel, it should be i7-6****. The item you posted for ux501 has 5th gen intel and ux305 with 4th. I’m looking for a 6th gen laptop and I’m confused if the price posted are for the old models or you just had the specs wrong…
oops, had it mixed up – UX501 4th gen intel (I think because they need to have quad core on this) and UX305 with 5th gen (because broadwell processors only have dual cores)..
