[리뷰] Ausus ProBook 15 on the TouchPad display

For many laptops users, the touch pad is similar to rolls. If you do not have a mouse, you can not use it, but you can not help it, because it's less operable than a mouse. There are many users of laptops who always use the mouse and practically without functions handle the touch pad.

Aesus GenBank Pro 15 (UX580GE)

But the ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 (ASUS ZenBook Pro 15, UX580GE) significantly improved the usability of the touch panel. This means that it is used as a sub-screen. The JENBUKE PRO 15 has a built-in touch screen interface called "SCREENPAD" instead of a general touch pad. It can be used in various ways, such as the use of various comfort features or use as an expanded display.

Simply textured UHD screen with heavy laptop

The Jenbook Series is a top-of-the-line laptops series that highlights luxury. This also applies to JenBook Pro 15. Materials made of aluminum and magnesium alloy are used positively here and there, and the concentric ring pattern is fixed to the upper plate and the pattern of hair lines is applied to the area of ​​the resting palm of the hand. It's also noteworthy that the Hamann Kardon logo is highlighted to highlight the sound of the premium audio brand harman / cardone.

The screen size is the same for all models with 15.6 inches, but the lower model uses a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, and the 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 is used on the top model. Some models have a touch feature on the screen, therefore You have to choose from before buying.

Built-in keyboard illumination

And 100% color area Adobe RGB and 132% sRGB. With touchscreen models, Aisle Spin (available separately) can be scanned directly to a screen that can detect a pressure of 1,024 steps, allowing accurate color rendering and intuitive inputs will be useful when editing important video clips.

Body weight was measured at 2 kg

The 15-inch screen is 1.89 cm thick and not as light. It was exactly 2Kg for IT Dongo (it can be modified according to the detailed model). The power supply is quite thick. This is not difficult to carry, but it's probably a bit more appropriate if you use it as a stand-alone replacement for a desktop computer, not a laptop.

High performance desktop replacement, up to Core i9

Another reason why ZenBook Pro 15 is suitable for replacing desktops is a high specification of the product. The lower-end models also feature the 8th generation Intel Core i7 8750H (6-core 12-thread, 2.2 GHz) high-performance processor, and the top model includes the i9 8950HK core (6 core 12 threads, 2.9 GHz). In particular, these processors have six generous cores. The operating system of these processors is recognized as a 12-core (threaded) CPU, thanks to the HyperThreading function, which physically shares one kernel logically in two, as if the total number of kernels doubles.

System memory (standard DDR4) is 8 GB (lower model) ~ 16 GB (upper model). Even when you run large programs or use different tasks at once, you can easily run. However, since the system memory is installed on the embedded form, it is regrettable that the user can not increase the storage capacity individually. In the case of a memory device, the SSD SSD (256 GB) is used as the upper model, while the 512 GB or 1TB SSD (NVMe) is used as the upper model. In particular, the SSD standard NVMe is used for a higher model than the general SSD SSD.

The graphics cards include NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (4 GB) and GeForce GTX 1050Ti (4 GB) for the below models. It's a well-balanced video card that you can use from everyday use, such as the internet, or watch movies for advanced tasks like playing and graphic editing.

Fingerprint Sensor, USB-C and Thunderbolt 3

In addition, the keyboard is equipped with backlighting, which is useful in working in darkness, high 1.5 mm high tidal. The fingerprint sensor on the right side of the keyboard makes it easy to log in to a window with a simple touch of a finger without entering a password.

The product side has an HDMI interface for connecting external display devices, a Micro SDXC card for memory cards, a voice input / output port, and four USB 3.1 (gen2) slots. In particular, two of the four USB ports are the USB-type USB-type standards, which are becoming increasingly popular, and support for Thunderbolt 3 technology, which enables fast data transfer (up to 40 Gbps). You can do this in a number of ways, such as connecting an external graphics card to improve gaming performance or connecting additional monitors through the DP / HDMI conversion cable.

What is the drive of the game and the life of the battery?

The ability to run games is also not bad. On the Core i9-8950HK I started the "Final Fantasy 15 benchmark" with the GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics card for review. Graphic quality "normal", 1920 x 1080 Full HD display resolution, the game's level is reasonable 3681 (standard). However, 440 UHD resolution 3840 x 2160 recorded an insufficient score of 1342, which is difficult to play. The 4K UHD class is somewhat unreliable, but if you are in a full HD environment, you can play some games.

A Full HD video can run for about 3 hours and 30 minutes

The Ausus GenBank Pro 15 is equipped with a 71Whrs battery, but the capacity itself is not small. However, since the specification of the system itself is high, the battery retention time is not very long. After setting the power setting to the initial value of the system, I turned on the display panel and started working with a full HD video continuously. I noticed that the low warning battery message was generated about 3 hours and 30 minutes later. Turning off the screen will take longer than this.

Identity Ausus GenBank Pro 15, "Screen Pad"

Aussus ZenBook Pro 15 is a portable computer that you can use with all of the above functions, and the biggest one is that it also has a screen. This is a 5.5-inch touch screen located at the bottom of the keyboard, in the case of a conventional notebook, where the probability of the touch pad and the identity of the notebook will not be far enough.

Instead of the touch pad, I have a 5.5-inch screen.

Because the touch panel has a touch feature as mentioned above, it can be used as a custom trackpad. It has a function to change the screen in the background, so you can design it according to the taste of the user. It has a durable fingerprint, which gives a slightly soft feel, but the resolution of the 1920 x 1080 is a full HD full-screen display that boasts a surprisingly high resolution.

Displays an auxiliary interface that helps different tasks

When you rotate the top-down screen, you'll see a toolbar that lets you instantly launch the dedicated TouchPad application. Since November 2018, ScreenPad applications only include "music players" for playing music files, a "calendar" for checking events, a "calculator" for simple numerical calculations, and "Numkey", which can be used as a numeric pad that is not on a portable keyboard, and you can download and install it in the Microsoft Store in Windows 10. This can make it easier to perform multiple tasks, such as playing music, checking calendars and making calculations without closing the main screen of the notebook.

ScreenPad Calculator

Some ScreenPad applications work in conjunction with normal Windows applications, not stand-alone. Adobe Reader, which uses Adobe Reader, allows you to directly log in to the display panel when you digitally sign the PDF document and the display panel as the control interface for viewing videos on YouTube using the Chrome browser. The "Video Player" you can use, and "Office" that offers shortcuts, such as font changes, formula settings, and storage when working with MS Office Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. It's representative. After installing the application, the startup of the corresponding Windows program will automatically run the screenpad application.

When you start Excel, various shortcuts are opened on the screen.

In addition, you can register up to 12 shortcut icons, which can often use one-touch Windows programs. Especially suitable for registration of the notebook or screen capture program here.

Up to 12 of the most frequently used Windows programs can be registered

An extended display mode that uses the on-screen display as another monitor

The exclusive ScreenPad application offers the right features as described above, but there are still some dedicated applications, and Windows has a limited number of programs that work together. During this time, press the F6 key to display the display panel in the expanded display mode. This will allow the system to recognize the display panel as another monitor so that you can start the usual Windows application on the screen.

Extended display mode

In this state, various applications can be used, such as improving the convenience of the operation by displaying a window to confirm the results on the display panel while performing image editing on the screen, or displaying internet broadcasting on the display panel while playing the main screen. However, in this case, you do not need to touch the object displayed on the screen directly, but move the mouse cursor to do the job. Extended display mode is useful if there is not enough room for additional monitors.

In expanded display mode, the display panel is recognized as another monitor.

For reference, Aesus offers a video manual feature that explains how to use each feature as a video for users who are not familiar with the screen. In any case, it's easier to understand as an image or a description of the text, so check if you have purchased the product.

If you want a high-quality notebook with a distinct personalityAusus GenBank Pro 15 (UX580GE) is a premium notebook with good performance, high quality design and progressive interface. In particular, it has a screen that provides a level of usability that the existing touchpad does not achieve. The ScreenPad exclusive application enables office editing of documents, electronic signatures, watching on YouTube, easier listening to music. In expanded display mode using the screen, the dual monitor environment can be performed without a separate external display. It's worth it to use.
