Zenbook, evolved
The award-winning Zenbook NX500 brings even more sophistication and power to the classic Zenbook tradition, adding the most advanced technology while retaining the beauty and craftsmanship that make Zenbook unlike any other Ultrabook?. With its unique combination of stunning design, luxurious materials and state-of-the art technology, NX500 will excite all your senses. Slim and compact with a timeless, elegant design
With its slim, compact, finely-crafted all-aluminum design and distinguished silver color, NX500 adds a touch of elegance to your computing. The signature spun-metal finish on the lid, with its concentric circles echoing the spirit of Zen, is further enhanced with diamond-cut chamfered edges, a fine brushed-metal finish on all metal surfaces and a stylish ripple-effect pattern laser-engraved around the speaker grilles. A new era of clarity with VisualMaster technology
The best Ultrabook? deserves only the very best display. Zenbook NX500 features our exclusive VisualMaster technology, an incredible blend of cutting-edge technologies that puts all other displays in the shade. With pin-sharp detail, amazing clarity and crisp, vivid, accurate colors, a VisualMaster display is like nothing you've ever seen before. 4K/UHD display for truly lifelike detail
The 15.6-inch 4K/UHD VisualMaster touchscreen display fitted to Zenbook NX500 has an astounding resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels ? four-times sharper than Full HD ? allowing you to see the very finest details in photos and videos, and even the smallest text is pin-sharp. With an incredible 282 pixels packed into every inch of the screen, NX500 really has to be seen to be believed. Rich, vivid and accurate color
Zenbook NX500's VisualMaster screen uses amazing quantum-dot enhancement film (QDEF) technology from 3M? to give it an ultra-wide color gamut of 100% NTSC. This gives a much wider color range that's also richer and more vivid than on a standard screen. ASUS TruVivid direct-bonding technology reduces reflections, and factory-calibrated color temperature ensures accurate, uniform color reproduction. A perfect view, from any angle
With its in-plane switching (IPS) LCD panel, Zenbook NX500 has wide viewing angles of 178 degrees, plus a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 220cd/m2 brightness. This means you can enjoy undistorted, clear and bright images no matter what angle you view the screen from. It makes NX500 perfect for sharing photos, videos or documents with friends, family or work colleagues! Video calls in crystal clarity
Zenbook NX500 is the perfect traveling companion, in more ways than one. The built-in 1080p HD camera with 30fps video recording means you can keep in touch with family and friends via crystal-clear video calls, and the high-sensitivity image sensor gives great image quality, even in less than perfect light. Stylish and practical accessories
Your new Zenbook NX500 is supplied with everything you need. In the box we've included a luxury protective sleeve to help keep your Zenbook in perfect condition, a mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter for hooking up to an external monitor, plus a USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter for wired networking. And naturally, there's also a mains power adapter. Built for touch
Touch is at the very heart of Zenbook NX500. Its ultra-responsive 10-point multi-touch touchscreen uses high-fidelity touch actuators that are 30% smaller and twice as sensitive as the industry standard. This gives you instant, accurate touch performance for writing, drawing and more. Spacious touchpad with Smart Gestures
Featuring the same 16:9 aspect ratio as the display, the large multi-touch touchpad on Zenbook NX500 is designed to be as intuitive and accurate as possible. Smart Gestures simulate many of Windows 8.1's touchscreen functions on the touchpad, for example the right-edge swipe that shows the Charms bar. Smart Gestures also work in a wide range of applications. Backlit keyboard for the ultimate typing experience
A keyboard is still the best way to get things done for most people, so we made sure Zenbook NX500 has the best available. Each key is expertly tuned to require just the right amount of force to press and have just the right amount of travel, so it's both quiet and comfortable for two-finger and touch typists alike. And since NX500 is designed to be used anywhere, we made the keyboard that way, too. Its backlight adjusts automatically to suit the level of ambient lighting, so you'll always be able to see the keys, even in complete darkness. Windows 8.1 ? the Desktop reinvented
Windows 8.1 is all about you. New multitasking features make it easy to do two things at once, too. Just snap two apps side-by-side and you can browse the web while watching a video, or chat with a colleague while editing a document. And with its Bing-powered search feature that shows your file, app and web search results in one unified view, Windows 8.1 means you spend less time searching and more time doing. Audio perfection
We don't believe that audio should be just an afterthought in an Ultrabook? as good as Zenbook NX500, so every aspect of the audio hardware and software has been meticulously engineered to deliver incredible sound quality. You won't believe your ears. SonicMaster Premium
The ASUS Golden Ear audio engineering team developed SonicMaster Premium, incorporating ICEpower®, Bang & Olufsen technology. SonicMaster Premium produces sound that's best-in-class and unlike anything you've ever heard from a laptop, with deep rich bass and crystal-clear vocals, even at high volume levels. Powerful full-range speakers
To achieve its premium sound quality, Zenbook NX500 uses custom-built, high-quality speakers with oval voice coils and oversize shielded magnets for improved bass response. Combined with large resonant chambers and the aluminum chassis design, these produce remarkably powerful full-frequency sound. Easy audio optimization with AudioWizard

Integrated array mic for the clearest chats
