If you told me you found an OLED laptop for only $ 800, I would have warned you about refurbished computers and a deep discount. OLED black and black and great colors own No come cheap. Dell charges $ 300 fee for display only. And yet Asus ’new low-cost OLED laptop is against those expectations.
The new machine is called the Asus ZenBook 13 OLED, and early notice already suggest that it could be a slam dunk for budget buyers. Although there is no headphone jack, some complain from a cramped keyboard, The 2.5 kg laptop does not seem to save technical data. In addition to its 13-inch 1080p OLED display (one of the first 1080p OLED displays I remember on a laptop) and its 100% DCI-P3 color space, you can even configure it with Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 processors. , 16 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM.
With a starting price of up to $ 800, you get your choice of AMD Ryzen 5 5500U or 11th generation Intel Core i5-1135G7 chip, backlit keyboard, Windows Hello compatible infrared camera, full size HDMI 2.0 and USB-A ports, a pair of USB-C ports and a microSD card slot.
However, there are a few important differences between Intel and AMD models, according to the company’s specifications:
- Intel
- The company lends an extra three hours of battery life to the AMD system over Intel (note that both were measured in a rather dim 150 nit brightness) from the same 67 Wh battery
- With Intel, you get a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of the standard USB 3.2 Type-C
- AMD models only have Wi-Fi 5, while Intel models have Wi-Fi 6
As far as I can tell, retailers like Amazon and Newegg quietly put their laptops up for sale earlier this month, although the $ 800 AMD conversion doesn’t seem to be fully on delivery yet. Here $ 900 Intel model on Amazon, an $ 800 AMD model in Neweggand a whole host of new laptops In Asus’ own store.
If you’re looking for a 2-in-1 convertible, Asus will attach its affordable OLED display to those starting at $ 950, although Intel seems to be the only CPU option out there.
We had heard the display manufacturers were finally going mass production of laptop-sized OLED panels this year – maybe Asus laptops are just the tip of the iceberg.
