Reviews for the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 UX580GE E2048T
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
On paper, the Zenbook Pro UX580 is a stunning computer for content creators and graphics professionals: it looks great, is built well, it comes with a wide-gamut 4K touchscreen and an excellent hardware configuration with the mobile Coffee Lake Core i9 processor, GTX 1050 Ti graphics and fast storage. In real life, this 2018 update inherits all the quirks of the 2017 models, and I'm not sure that interesting LCD screen placed beneath the trackpad and the aggressive pricing are enough to justify picking this over the competition.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
