Interesting touchpad...but yeah, screen seems to be the weakest link here...
At least, this is not those 60% sRGB panel. Also, this is Anti-Glare panel and unless you are in direct sunlight, the visibility in outdoor will be okayish.
While the NewEgg site states that this has a 250-nit scree, the Asus website states that this series (UM425IA) of ZenBooks sports a 400-nit screen. Reference: https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS...4-UM425IA/
Not much in the way of early reviews. Found this one[archyde.com] that says it is 400-nits.
On a different issue, the Asus website has an interesting note about the PD port:
USB-C® Easy Charge ensures 4.5-watt charging when connecting to a non-Power Delivery chargers, including portable chargers or USB Type-A to USB-C® chargers. When using a Power Delivery charger, the charging speed will match the connected adapter's power output, up to a maximum of 65 watts.
This ZenBook can be recharged with a 1A charger! I didn't know they made laptop PD ports that could take such low amp power chargers. (Slow, but better than nothing in a pinch.)
==============================================
EDIT: I stand corrected. Per the Asus website:
In the basic configuration, the notebook has a less efficient IPS panel with 250 cd / m². Asus does not provide any information on the refresh rates of the two panels, the same applies to the supported color spaces.
==============================================
EDIT2: For those who don't understand amps and watts, the 1A charger will theoretically work 13 times slower than the regular Zenbook 65W charger. So, even with overnight charging, a 1A charger won't fully recharge the laptop. And if the battery is exhausted, the laptop won't work while connected to the 1A charger.

That says it has a option for 400 Nits display and a 250 nits display and doe snot say that all models have 400 nits display. This particular model sold by Newegg, having 250 nits display.

- Are they still using that crap conexant?
- Does the backlit still only work in Windows?
WTF is this combo of great internals and trash externals?
For me it's the screen, but I'm assuming you want to use with multiple externals?
