ASUS announces ZenBook UX430 and UX530 with Nvidia GPU

ASUS has officially announced two new portable ZenBook series laptops called the UX430 and UX530 models, and both of which pack the power of discrete graphics into a thin frame. Specifically we talk about, Nvidia GTX 940M and GTX 950M respectively.

The main difference between the two models is the diagonal of the display. The first is 14 inch, even if due to the extremely small frames has typical dimensions of a 13-inch. The second is a 15.6 inch, also comes with a very thin frame. The UX430 (image above) comes in at 15.9mm while the UX530 is slightly thicker at 16.9mm.

Both Asus ZenBook UX430 and UX530 (image below) laptops have thin and large slim bezel displays in an ultra-compact form factor. This remarkable achievement is made possible by the ultra-narrow 7.18mm bezel, giving an 80% screen-to-body ratio for maximized productivity and comfort.

Asus ZenBook UX430 offers stunning performance, powered by up to latest 7th Generation Intel Core i7 processor with up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM, up to 512GB of fast SSD storage, and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX discrete graphics.
