Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX580GD

Overview

But despite my misgivings, well-heeled individuals seeking will have a lot to like about the ZenBook Pro 15 especially since few notebooks come close to offering the same levels of performance and portability. If you are looking for the PC equivalent of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro, this is it.
