Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 Review: Beauty And Brawn
Besides, the ZenBook Pro UX501 offers itself up not as an exclusive gaming notebook, but a portable to please a variety of groups. A jack of all trades suited equally for work and play.

We put the Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 through two battery life benchmarks: Battery Eater Pro and our own Web browsing test. Battery Eater Pro creates a heavy workload to grind your system’s battery down, while the HotHardware.com test refreshes a Web page regularly, giving you a general impression of what the battery life might look like if you use it for light to medium online tasks.
During both rundown tests, we reduce the screen's brightness to 50% (which is perfectly bright enough indoors) and leave stuff like WiFi and Bluetooth enabled. We also switch off any keyboard backlighting.
We have a winner! Despite having a power-sucking 4K touchscreen display, the UX501 clocks nearly 3 hours under load, which is nothing short of a monumental victory.
