After launching various ZenBook devices last year, ASUS is kicking off 2020 with the launch of its latest ultrabook, the ZenBook 14 UX435. This new laptop from ASUS promises to be a great productivity partner thanks to its impressive specs which include an 11th gen Intel processor and NVIDIA MX450 GPU, as well as the ScreenPad 2.0.
In case you’re unfamiliar, the ScreenPad is a secondary touch display built into the laptop; it essentially replaces the laptop’s touch pad. With the ScreenPad, users can run apps such as a calculator, handwriting scanner, and even Spotify.
Aside from the ScreenPad, the ZenBook 14 also has other highlight features, including a 14-inch FHD display, a wealth of I/O options, and more.
