Asus has this week unveiled a new addition to their range of notebooks with the unveiling of their new Asus Zenbook Touch U500VZ notebook, supporting multi-touch input technology.
Which has been specifically designed to be used with Microsoft’s latest Windows 8 operating system and is equipped with a 15.0″ 16:9 HD IPS FHD 1920×1080 LED display with backlight anti-glare technology.
Powerful Performance and Storage Options
The Asus Zenbook Touch U500VZ notebook is powered by an Intel Core i7 3632QM/3612QM Processor supported by up to 4GB of RAM. This combination ensures that the notebook can handle a variety of demanding applications and multitasking scenarios with ease. Additionally, users have the option of installing dual solid state disks (SSD) if required, which can significantly enhance the device’s performance and storage capacity. SSDs are known for their faster read and write speeds compared to traditional hard drives, which means quicker boot times, faster file transfers, and overall improved system responsiveness.
Graphics are handled by a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M GPU with 2GB GDDR5 at its disposal. This powerful graphics card makes the Zenbook Touch U500VZ suitable for graphic-intensive tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and even some gaming. The combination of a high-performance CPU and GPU ensures that the notebook can deliver a smooth and efficient user experience.
Enhanced User Experience with Multi-Touch Technology
The standout feature of the Asus Zenbook Touch U500VZ is its multi-touch input technology. This technology allows users to interact with the notebook in a more intuitive and natural way. Multi-touch support means that users can perform a variety of gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom, swipe, and rotate, directly on the screen. This can make tasks like browsing the web, navigating through applications, and viewing photos more seamless and enjoyable.
“Multi-touch input technology gives you commanding hands-on natural comfort in every usage type. More gestures with better detection render smooth usability and speed up content navigation as well as switching between windows and applications.”
The multi-touch capabilities are particularly beneficial when used with Windows 8, which was designed with touch input in mind. The operating system features a tile-based interface that is optimized for touch, making it easier for users to access their favorite apps and settings with just a few taps.
Design and Build Quality
The Asus Zenbook Touch U500VZ is not just about performance; it also boasts a sleek and stylish design. The notebook features a slim profile and a lightweight build, making it highly portable and ideal for users who are always on the go. The use of premium materials in its construction ensures that the device is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
The 15.0″ 16:9 HD IPS FHD 1920×1080 LED display with backlight anti-glare technology provides vibrant colors and sharp details, making it perfect for multimedia consumption and professional work. The anti-glare feature reduces reflections and eye strain, allowing users to work comfortably for extended periods.
Connectivity and Additional Features
In terms of connectivity, the Zenbook Touch U500VZ offers a range of options to ensure that users can stay connected and productive. It includes multiple USB ports, an HDMI output for connecting to external displays, and a card reader for easy access to media files. The notebook also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, providing seamless wireless connectivity.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but you can expect it to be released at CES 2013 next week.
