Asus has launched the UX305LA in India. Currently, this is one of the most powerful ultraportable laptop out there. The top of the range model will come with a 5th gen Core-i7 5500U processor. The laptop will be available in Core i5 and Core M processors as well. Currently, only the Intel Core-i7 powered model is being launched and the prices for the laptop start at Rs. 97,990. It will be available from October 15th. The Core i5 variant will be launched later this year.
Besides the processor options, rest of the specs are locked in place. The UX305LA comes with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD drive. It carries a 13.3-inch display with with a 3200 x 1800p QHD+ resolution. It has an all aluminum body and looks very similar to the UX305FA which was launched earlier this year. There are 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 1 x USB 2.0 port, 1 x SDXC card reader, 1 x micro HDMI, and 1 x combo audio jack besides the AC in power port.
The laptop comes with a 6-cell battery pack and Asus claims that the laptop can last upto 12 hours with the Wi-Fi connected. It features the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi which Asus says is 3X faster than the 802.11n standard. The chiclet keyboard is also improved and offers a longer 1.5mm of key travel. And, as the lid is opened, it raise the base, which makes the typing experience more comfortable. Asus says the touchpad uses exclusive smart gestures which work similar to the gestures one uses on a smartphone. All of this and the laptop weighs just 1.3Kg.
Peter Chang, Regional Head of South Asia and Managing Director for Asus India said “The UX305LA is a perfect balance of great looks and functionality which delivers a powerful performance with the Windows 10 combination. The Indian consumers are increasingly moving towards ultraportable products and the featherweight ZenBook UX305LA is a real performer that redefines this segment with its svelte design. It is one of the most affordable products in this category and we truly believe that it deserves a top spot in the festive shopping list of the Indian consumers.”
It is to be noted that instead of the Intel Core i3 variant of the UX305LA, Asus is bringing a Core M variant. Asus already has the UX305FA which comes with a 256GB SSD and is powered by a Intel Core M processor.
