ASUS announces new ZenBook Pro with the jaw-dropping ScreenPad technology

Today at Computex 2018, ASUS announced a new ZenBook Pro series with an interactive ScreenPad technology. The ScreenPad is a 5.5” FHD (1920 x 1080) Super IPS+ display with 178? wide-view technology which is located in the same position as a regular touchpad. With a single key press, you can turn this screen into a regular touchpad. In fact, it can act as a Precision touchpad that supports up to four-finger smart gestures. Asus has protected this display with glass for fingerprint and smudge resistance.

ScreenPad can act as an interactive display with helpful functions that adapt to your work and will help you to multitask and get things done. It can change functions automatically when you switch apps, and you can create your own shortcuts. You can also extend your Windows desktop onto ScreenPad. With Screen Extender mode, you can extend your laptop’s screen onto ScreenPad, giving you a dual display in one device.

Asus has packed the new ZenBook Pro with latest internals for maximum performance.
