Serious mustard yellow color problem. I returned it back for full refund in 3 days. Dont buy this if you are photographer

Does it support 3DTV?

Quantum dot tech. Improves NTSC gamut and minimizes blacklight bleeding and takes the cost north of the other model.

@Snuffy

I believe the discrepancy is due to the NX500 being the "older" model.  I know when I was looking at top of the line Zenbooks a few months ago, that was the cheapest one (i.e. besides the 300 series etc.).

A quick check of Amazon seems to back this up:

These notebooks seem very very similar,  why does one cost $1,200 more??

Any chance you could provide the .icc file for the May 29th Update? The listed one seems to be dated 5/1

Hello,
i do want to buy this notebook. Can you tell me where i can find the version without the touch screen??
Thanks.

Is 1080p touchscreen matte or glossy? Look at this link and please tell me what battery it is, 96w or the other:

  And is this version's storage upgradeable?

I do not remember which site I read it on, but the 100% sRGB coverage is only possible while plugged in for some weird reason. As it is, you are better off with a HP Pro model or a MacBook Pro if you are interested in picture quality while on the go.

Thank you for this detailed review.

I recently bought a FullHD mate screen version : UX501JW CN209H. The lower resolution does improve battery runtimes and I am really happy with it.
It is only a pitty that it is not shipped with an intel wireless chiset (Atheros AR946X instead). It does the job but does not support the latest standarts and intel Widi.
