The latest refresh is the UX501VW with Skylake and USB Type-C as two of its most major upgrades. Otherwise, the chassis, input devices, and hardware are almost exactly the same. We recommend checking out our previous reviews on the UX501 for more pictures and comments on build quality and features Asus A15-120P1A adapter.
On the 15-inch ZenBook Pro, Asus takes a simple, almost stately approach to design. The machine features an all-aluminum chassis topped by the company's signature concentric ring finish on the metallic gray lid, with subtle, polished edges on the sides. When you pry open the lid, there are more concentric rings set near the rear of the keyboard, and an ample, brushed metal deck where you can rest your palms.
Kudos to Asus for addressing one of the few issues we had with last year's ZenBook Pro. The UX501VW adapter lasted a solid 8 hours on the Laptop Mag Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi) versus the pitiful 4:25 we got from this machine's predecessor.
Like many other higher-end gaming notebooks these days Asus ADP-120RH B 4.5*3.0mm adapter, the UX501VW includes USB Type-C Gen. 2 with Thunderbolt 3 support. Asus has elected to remove the mDP port as found on the original UX501JW to cut down on costs. There are no Ethernet ports or Kensington Locks, which may upset a subset of users.
