In addition to the excellent-looing ZenWatch 3, ASUS also showcased its
latest slate - the ZenPad 3S 10 - and an interesting portable display.
ASUS ZenPad 3S 10
The ZenPad 3S 10 sports a 9.7" (got you there) display of
QXGA resolution (that's 2048 by 1536 pixels, the same as the iPad Pro 9.7")
and under the hood there's a MediaTek 8176 chip with a hexacore CPU and 4GB of
RAM. Internal storage is 64GB, but since you're going to watch so many movies
on it, you can expand it via the microSD card slot that's on board.
ASUS has equipped the ZenPad 3S 10 with special Tru2Life
video-enhancement technology to make videos pop more. On the audio side of
things, there's an NXP smart amplifier allowing for higher volume without
increasing distortion. It can also handle 7.1
surround sound thanks to the
five-magnet stereo speakers with DTS Headphone:X tech.
Expect the ZenPad 3s 10 to hit stores in the coming weeks with a
price of €379.
ASUS ZenScreen
The ASUS ZenScreen is a somewhat unexpected product that debuted
at IFA 2016. It's a portable, 15.6" monitor designed for professionals
on-the-go, who need the screen real estate to get the job done quickly.
It weighs less than a kilogram and measures 8mm thin. The display
sports a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and has a USB Type-C port, which
supports both power and video transmission.
The ZenScreen has a cool smart case, which acts as a vertical or
horizontal stand. The portable display will set you back €269, but you can't
really put a price on great practicality, can you?
ASUS Transformer 3 Pro
ASUS also showcased its most powerful 2-in-1 tablet from back in
May. As a refresher, the ASUS Transformer 3 Pro comes with a 12.6" display
of 2880x1920 resolution. It's quite nice as it supports 121% of the sRGB color
gamut.
On the inside, the Transformer 3 Pro has an Intel Core i7 6500U
processor, 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage.
Connectivity is covered with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, USB Type-C port as
well as an HDMI and Thunderbolt 3 ports. At the back, there's a 13MP camera,
but it's not yet clear if it can record 4K videos.
The price of the Transformer 3 Pro is quite hefty at €1,599, but
you do get a lot of tech for the price.
