⭐ 4K Thin Bezel Panel

The UX534FTC-AS77 features a non-touch 15.6″ LED-Backlit 4K UHD screen. The screen comes with 3840×2160 pixels screen resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 16:9 aspect ratio.

Click this link if you want the 13-inch model, the UX333FA-AB77, or this one for the 11-inch tiny VivoBook version.

The 4K UHD display of this unit gives a broader color range, more pixels, and better clarity. Also, the screen is brighter (more than 300 nits) to support HDR videos.

You can see the difference seeing an object in a 4K UHD display and in an FHD 1080p display on your notebook. I know many people say otherwise.

Below, this gentleman on YouTube demonstrates it well. The difference between a photo in a 4K display vs in a 1080p display on his smartphone. In a laptop, the difference is more noticeable.

In short, you will appreciate a 4K UHD screen if you are a gamer. So will photographers who often edit photographs and videos (especially if they are in 4K res) on a notebook.

ScreenPad 2.0

This 15-inch ASUS ZenBook UX534FTC with i7-10510U notebook comes with the ScreenPad 2.0. It’s a 5.65-inch secondary touchscreen which also functions as your trackpad. This is a super useful feature if you often need a second display on your system. You can just leave the main screen for your main task, and the others on the ScreenPad.

Also for gaming or streaming, you can set up the main display for the game, and monitoring others in the secondary display.

With the ScreenPad 2.0, you can access the number pad or convert it to a touchpad. Furthermore, you can completely disable the ScreenPad and use it as a trackpad like in a traditional laptop.

If the ScreenPad on this unit is too small for you yet you still need a built-in 2nd display on a notebook, check out the ZenBook Duo’s innovative design (the 14-inch one).

ErgoLift Design

ASUS designed their laptops with their progressive ErgoLift design. This ZenBook 15 UX534FTC is no different. It features the special ErgoLift hinge. With this system, anytime you open up the lid the keyboard will be automatically tilted up 3 degrees. Plus, you can use one-hand to open it up by the way.

As a result, this innovative design will enhance your typing’s position and comfort, as well as helping the device to release the heat that it may generate.

Comet Lake CPU

Inside this device, is the 4-Cores/8-Threads 10th generation (the latest) of Intel Core i7-10510U. This processor runs with 1.8GHz clock speed, and with its Turbo Boost technology, it can reach to 4.9GHz.

This CPU is a mobile CPU that is designed to power laptops only and aim for longer battery life devices.

If your budget is tight and still want to have an affordable good laptop from ASUS, consider getting this VivoBook 15″ with the 10th gen of i3 chip.

With the 8-cell 71Wh Lithium-Ion replaceable or removable battery, the unit we are reviewing can give you about 6-9 hours battery life for light usages, such as school or office work. If your usage is involving gaming, then you will have a shorter battery life.

Now if you are willing to spend more, and need more than 24 hours lifespan of the battery, opt for this champion, the ASUS ExpertBook.

Discreet Graphics

The UX534FTC-AS77 packs the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q Graphics, which was just released last year in 2019. The 1650 GPU was also a very popular budget Graphics last year (2019). Compared with its predecessor, the 1050 ti, it performs about 30% better.

This Turing Architecture-based mobile GPU features 4GB GDDR5 VRAM. It also has 1024 Cuda Cores that can perform most games above 60fps, at 1080p resolution, and decent settings. Also for some AAA titles! CS:GO, Overwatch, Fortnite, or FIFA can run at 60FPS with high settings with this laptop.

With this Graphics in your ZenBook 15, together with its 10th gen of i7 CPU, you will be able to perform daily computing, plus video/photo editing as well as casual gaming with a desktop-level performance.

Still, bear in mind, this ultra-book wasn’t designed to game intensively. It was designed for users who are usually on the go and who want to causally game. If you want a laptop for serious gaming get a dedicated gaming laptop (see our recommendations below).
