Fremont, CA (September 23, 2018) - ASUS today announced the availability of the ZenBook Pro 15, a professional-grade 15.6-inch laptop featuring the all-new ScreenPad, a Full HD touchscreen touchpad that revolutionizes the way users work and interact with their notebook. The ZenBook Pro now comes with its best even display, a PANTONE® Validated 4k (UHD) touchscreen that comes with guaranteed color accuracy out of the box and is framed with thin bezels. The ZenBook Pro with ScreenPad 15 comes with up to an Intel® Core™ i9 CPU, providing 6-cores and 12-threads of computational power, and up to a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti to not only GPU-accelerate editing, modeling, and other workloads but also deliver high-quality Full HD gaming. The ZenBook Pro 15 has an incredible amount of innovation and power housed in an elegant all-aluminum build and is equipped with both Thunderbolt™ 3 ports and an integrated fingerprint sensor.
ScreenPad: An evolved touchpad
ScreenPad cleverly combines a touchpad with a high-resolution, full-color touchscreen to offer novel ways of interacting intelligently with both Windows apps and dedicated programs called ScreenPad Apps. ScreenPad features adaptive functions with context-sensitive tools to enhance workflow and productivity and is fully customizable to allow users to personalize their experience. Currently supported apps include Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Spotify, YouTube, and Adobe Sign. ScreenPad's handwriting recognition capabilities opens up a world of new productivity-enhancing possibilities, allowing Adobe Sign users to sign PDF documents without having to scan in a written signature.
The ScreenPad also features ASUS Sync, allowing users to mirror their smartphone screens onto the ScreenPad or onto the main display. In Extender Mode, ScreenPad works just like an external monitor, providing a secondary Windows display. This updated feature now has optimized Windows screen settings to make it even easier to use, and there's a new function that allows users to easily switch between the main screen and ScreenPad. Users can also now choose to interact with content on ScreenPad with a cursor, or use touchscreen controls. The ScreenPad supports Microsoft Precision Touchpad (PTP) and four-finger smart gestures.
