ASUS finally announced the groundbreaking NEW ZenBook Pro 15, a high-performance Windows 10 laptop for professionals which features a futuristic new ScreenPad. Perfect for multi-taskers like myself, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 revolutionizes the way users work and interact with their laptop.
The launch of the ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 was definitely memorable with the gigantic, larger than life ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 modal on stage. It clearly demonstrated how powerful the ZenBook Pro 15 with their ScreenPad and up to 8th Gen Intel Core i9 processors.

The key highlight of the ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 is the ScreenPad which is the first to integrate Touchpad, Touch Screen and Extended Screen. The ScreenPad cleverly combines a touchpad with high-resolution, full-color touchscreen which offers novelty ways of interacting intelligently with both Windows app and dedicated programs called Screen Pad Apps. A simple press of the F6 function key toggles ScreenPad between touchscreen mode and touchpad mode.

Special dedicated ScreenPad Apps run within the ScreenPad itself, with a variety of useful tools such as the Calculator, Music Player, NumKey and Launcher.

You know that feeling where you need to key in numbers and your laptop doesn't have a NumKey pad? For those laptops with NumKey pads, they are usually bulkier but now with the ZenBook Pro 15, you can actually use the ScreenPad to launch the NumKey pad instead making it a handy numerical keypad for data entry. You are also able to be more productive with the ScreenPad as selected desktop apps - at present limited to Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint offer closer integration with ScreenPad and editing controls that change according to the app and task performed.
Not only that, the Screen Extender mode allows ScreenPad to be used as an extension to the main display! You can use it as a second screen which does not affect your main screen. Via the browser extension, you can even use the ScreenPad YouTube Player for Chrome which actually puts the video playback controls for YouTube videos on the ScreenPad instead of taking up space on your main video.
Other than the ScreenPad, you can be amazed with the 4k Panel with 100% Adobe RGB (132% SRGB) screen. The ZenBook Pro 15 also boast of being Pantone Validated meaning the the built-in ASUS Calibration Technology on ZenBook Pro 15 provides color-accuracy tuning and uniformity compensation. This means, you can be sure the colors you’re seeing are accurate. With the wide color gamut, this makes even the creative professionals satisfied with the images produced on the ZenBook Pro 15.
Lastly, the ZenBook Pro 15 is built in with Harmon Kardom speaker which means you can clearly anticipate how the sound system will be when you play audio on the ZenBook Pro 15. I can just imagine blasting my beats on Spotify with the ZenBook Pro 15 or even enjoying some movie time.
In conclusion, I personally was attracted with the features of the ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 because I am a super multi-tasker and I would really benefit from the additional ScreenPad. Not only that, the design is sleek and I also like the 4K display with Pantone Validated because I can't think of how many times I have issues of my images in the laptop not being the same as in real life.
