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.

Along with four speakers, the refreshed ZenBook 14 also includes a fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, along with USB 3.1 and 2.0 ports.

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