The editors didn't like

Showing relatively low contrast ratio and high black levels

Large AC adapter

Middling battery life
Slightly heavier than competing machines
Superglossy screen
No configuration options

Abstract: For storage with Asus opting for the same 512GB Samsung SM951 NVMe SSD. This drive gets you good capacity and massive speed with minimal footprint, which is just as well, as there's no room for any other drives in this machine. While the physical design i...
Great overall performance, Incredible value, Comfortable keyboard
Fit and finish issues, Speakers are surprisingly weak, Middling battery life
On paper, the Zenbook Pro is an incredible deal. It features some extremely high-end parts, yet is amazingly affordable compared to its competitors. After spending time with it, however, it becomes clear why it's less expensive, particularly when c...

The ASUS Zenbook Pro UX501VW is a laptop that tries to be a lot of different things at once, in an effort to cast the widest net and get the most customers as possible under one brand. If you're a student who needs a powerful laptop for modelling a molecu...

Excellent CPU, GPU and RAM specs, Lightning fast SSD hard drive performance, Superb display sharpness, Fantastic battery power, Great overall performance and cooling, Nice design, Decent price
Terrible display glare, Weak contrast level, Color accuracy could have been better, One more HDMI port would have been nice
The bottom line for the ZenBook Pro UX501VW from Asus is that, while you could definitely get your hands on a superior display performer like Acer's Aspire V15 Ntiro Black Edition, the ZenBook is a great piece of PC technology in terms of internal hardw...

fast display response times; No PWM, higher contrast, balanced multimedia, word processing, and gaming performance, idling fans under low loads, DDR4, USB Type-C w/ Thunderbolt 3, NVMe SSD, long battery life, wide color gamut, thin and sleek design
no substantial CPU performance boost from previous generation, dimmer display brightness; minor backlight bleeding, no auxiliary or Macro keys, higher battery capacity at the cost of secondary storage, mDP port removed, pricey
Aside from specification differences (Skylake, DDR4, USB Type-C, NVMe, etc.) between the UX501VW and UX501JW, the latest revision brings longer battery life and even a few updates to the display with higher contrast and deeper colors. Maximum brightness i...

Quantum dot display, Excellent color delivery, Super contrast ratio, Fantastic SSD, Beautiful build
GPU isn't for 4K gaming, Color vibrancy can go overboard, Poor keyboard design, Way too expensive
