"ASUS PC" is full -fledged for business, and the OS is PRO!The warranty is long!

"ASUS PCs used for work", 11 checkpoints (& what happens if you buy a new PC for the first time in 7-8 years?)

　By the way, this time, as an example of "ASUS business PC", 13 of the stylish notebook PC, Zenbook series..It is a 3 -inch LCD model "ZenBook 13 UX333FA".

　It is a product based on personal models with the same name. As mentioned above, Windows 10 Pro is installed, and the warranty has been assured for three years.

　Then, I would like to introduce the charm of this PC as "business" sequentially.

「ZenBook 13 UX333FA」はメタルボディの13インチクラスノートPC

【その1】目を引くデザイン

　The first thing that gets an eye on it is its design.The deep blue solid appearance using metal material overall and the spin metal finish on the top plate claim individuality.

　Not only seven or eight years ago, it is a type that is rarely seen on recent business notebook PCs, but it is not too flashy and it can be said that it is an intriguing design.

天板に施されたスピンメタル仕上げが美しい差し色のゴールドも、やんちゃに見えないギリギリのところで所有感のあるテイストだ

【その2】「堅牢さ」はMIL規格準拠、でも薄さは16.9mm、重さも1.16kg

　"Light laptops" have become commonplace these days, but in addition to this, the feature of this model is that they have "robustness".

　Regarding the size, 16.The width of 9mm and 302mm is standard for the recent 13 -inch notebook PC, but the depth is 189mm, one more compact than the general 13 -inch notite PC.Compared to the same 13 inches, it is thinner than "Ultrabook" 7 to 8 years ago, and the vertical and horizontal size is smaller, so there is plenty of time to put it in a business bag.Weight is 1.It is a 16kg, an old laptop PC, and it feels more likely to carry and handle than its numbers, probably because it is "elongated".

奥行が短く、取り回しがしやすい

　In addition, this size is durable based on the MIL standard used in the US Department of Defense's supplies procurement standards.

　It can withstand impacts, pressurization, high temperature, high humidity, etc., and do not worry about the situation where the load is suddenly added to the Zenbook 13 in the bag, such as a crowded commuter train.A dedicated sleeve is also included, so it will prevent scratches during storage.

　The durability around here is an element that was not in the former laptop.This is an important point for "I want to use it for a long time".

【その3】「綺麗な液晶」を仕事でも、フルHD＆sRGBの色空間100％カバーの高発色ディスプレイ

　The display is a full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 dots) and a high -colored type that covers 100 % color space of SRGB.

　7-8 years ago, there were many models with HD resolution (1366 x 768 dots), and there were almost no models that use "coloring" for business.The desktop work space is expanded, and colorful business materials and photos can be reproduced in a color close to the real thing.It can be said that it is a point that "aggressive" in terms of feelings, as well as work that handles printed materials.

【その4】業務に合わせて選べるスペック、CPUとストレージ容量の違いで2モデル

　In addition, in the individual model, the variations were only two colors differences, but for corporations, instead of only one royal blue color, two models are prepared with different CPUs and storage capacity.On the other hand, a high performance model with Intel Core i5-8265U and 512GB SSD.On the other hand, it is a model with Intel Core i3-8145U and 256GB SSD, all of which are 8GB of memory.

　For business use that focuses on editing Office documents and small image processing, you may be more concerned about storage capacity than CPU power.If you are mainly a light processing based on text -based lights, or if you use cloud services full, you are in a business that handles the lower model of Core i3/256GB, or a lack of storage.If you want to use it for a long time, it seems good to choose the top model of Core i5/512GB.

【その5】OS起動は12秒、USBは「10Gbps対応」

　When I talked about the specifications, I would like to introduce the speed of "recent PC".

　Introducing the start time of Windows and the start time of Microsoft Office (Word).First, the startup time of the Windows was only 5 seconds from the switch ON to the logon screen, and the desktop was displayed only 12 seconds later.Also, the start time of Word is only 4.5 seconds.

　Because it is an execution result in the Core i5/512GB model, the Core i3/256GB model may be slightly different, but the difference is obvious compared to a PC from 7 to 8 years ago.In a general notebook PC (Windows 7+HDD machine) 7 to 8 years ago, it should have taken 1 to 1 minute and 30 minutes for the desktop display and 20 to 30 seconds of Word.These "speed differences" appear in other situations, and the "difference in smoothness" is exactly the point of the recent PC.

　Also, I would like to pay attention to the enhancement of the interface that I am worried about for business use.USB is now the latest and fastest USB 3.One source.Equipped with one port of Type-C and Type-A in 2.The transfer speed is up to 10Gbps, and if you use a high -speed external storage, you can finish the data in a short time.

　"CrystalDiskMark 6.0.In "2", USB 3.One source.2 external SSD (NVME M).When the access speed of 2) was measured, the sequential lead was 943MB/s, and the sequential light exceeded 1GB/s.USB 2.It is an unthinkable speed on a PC 7-8 years ago, when 0 ports (480Mbps) were the mainstream.

　It also has an HDMI port that can output video directly to an external monitor in a conference room, and a microSD slot that can be used to exchange data with smartphones.

【その6】Wi-FiはIEEE 802.11ac対応、有線LANアダプターも標準添付

　Wireless LAN is IEEE 802.It supports 11ac.

　The wireless LAN environment has changed dramatically seven to eight years ago.IEEE 802 using radio waves in the 5GHz band.The appearance and spread of 11ac.

　The previous notebook PC is IEEE 802.11n 2.It was standard to use the 4GHz band radio waves, but 2.The 4GHz band has already been evaluated as "the communication speed is slow due to radio wave congestion."The comfort of the latest laptop PCs affects not only CPUs and SSDs, but also such places.

　Not only web browses and video viewing, but also the use of the cloud is definitely comfortable.

　Many recent PCs, which have become quite thin, do not have a wired LAN, but this product comes with a standard Gigabit -compatible wired LAN adapter."I want a wired LAN when setting up or something happens" is a story I sometimes hear.Although it is not expensive, "there is a bundled product" will be a safe point in support.

【その7】バッテリーの持ちは「ほぼ15時間」

　UX333FA with such powerful specifications, but the battery is nominally nominally 15 hours.

　Specifically, about 14 Core i5 models.8 hours, about 14 Core i3 models.9 hours.You can affirm that this can be used for almost one day.

　The battery driving time of the laptop PC 7 to 8 years ago was 5 to 6 hours at the for the long time, but the latest Zenbook 13 was nearly three times that.

　I think that the number of people who work outside the office is increasing due to recent work style reforms, but this product should be able to work with plenty of time without a power supply on the go.If you forget the AC adapter, you will not be worried.

【その8】13インチでも「テンキー付き」！なんとタッチパッドがテンキーに……

　Another unique feature of this product is a high -performance touchpad.

　This touchpad, which can be operated without being caught in a slippery material, actually works as a numeric keypad if you continue to press the upper right icon for 1 second.

　ASUS has appealed as "NumberPad" in this feature that the numeric keys and symbols emerge on the touchpad, and just touch them, and you can hit numbers and symbols.

滑りのよいタッチパッド右上のアイコンを1秒間押すと「NumberPad」に変身する

　In a 13 -inch class notebook PC, numeric keys are generally omitted.I think many people said, "I want a 13 -inch class considering carrying it, but I want a numeric keypad for work," but this product has solved it.

【その9】静かなキーボードと、タイピングしやすい角度に保持する「エルゴリフトヒンジ」

　In addition, the keyboard is sober but important as a "work PC".

　As for this, when the display section is opened, a structure called "Ergolift hinge", which naturally lifts the back of the keyboard, is used, holding a keyboard at an easy -to -typing angle.And what you notice as soon as you actually key type is its quietness.

　Even if you press it roughly, there is no hearing sound, and it does not resonate at all.You can hit it without hesitation, even in places where you tend to be careful, such as shared offices and co -working space.This area is not so many other notebook PCs, which can be said to be a unique feature of ZenBook 13.

【その10】「黙って座ればピタリとログオン！」Windowsのログオンは顔認証で

　The point is that it is equipped with an infrared camera corresponding to Windows Hello, a biological authentication function.As a result, Windows logon can be performed with face authentication, and it is possible to start using a PC with "just sitting in front of Zenbook 13".

　Face authentication, which eliminates the need for password entry that was absolutely necessary, is one of the functions you want on a business PC in terms of "working efficiently and comfortably."

【その11】OSは、Windows 10 Pro 64ビット版

　The last point is that the OS is Windows 10 Pro.

　This can use ActiveDirectory (domain), group policy, and advanced security functions in that it has been changed from individual models.Until now, many people said "I bought a Windows 10 Home model and upgraded", and I think many people have given up to avoid their costs, but finally they can be purchased with "Windows 10 Pro from the beginning".That's it.
