ASUS launches sleek new ZenBook 14 UX431 starting at $800

ASUS today launched its new ZenBook 14 (UX431) with prices starting at $800. Available in three configurations, the refreshed laptop carries forward ASUS' sleek ZenBook look with a mix of hardware that makes for a compelling package.

On the outside, the ZenBook line's brushed metal look is on board, along with a 14-inch display that's flanked by narrow bezels on each side. That's backed up by a relatively compact frame, at 0.65-inches thick and weighing just above three pounds. The display also sports a unique "ErgoLift" hinge at its bottom, which is designed to tilt the keyboard up slightly when the laptop is open.

If the ZenBook 14 (UX431) strikes your fancy, it's available now starting at $800.
