Asus UX550 Release Date?

[halocast]

Review and first impressions of the UX550 below. There are some issues (system stability, freezing, coil whine, backlight bleed, keyboard flex) which hopefully might be solved through BIOS updates and later production units.

It could also be because of quality issues that why the launch is delayed. US also havent release

whats ur opinion on the 1060 vs the 1050 ti in the asus/xps 15 tho. Read in reviews the 1050 ti is good but still not good enough to handle AAA games at high/medium 1080 settings

 

[detion]

if you want to play AAA games at high resolution, then this laptop is not for you. For me, its more for work and not for games. Even if I play, I will not play in high quality. I am changing from Asus GL502 because the battery life sucks. I am attracted to this laptop due to the good battery life and mid range performance

I think should wait for the kopi lake model lah

ASUS's announcement of kopi lake models for its Zenbook Flip

The Zenbook Flip 15-inch 4K model with kopi lake can be an alternate consideration

Still would like something with a 1050ti.

Asus release so many models when in sia.

Isn't the 8th Gen Coffee Lake for laptops now are only the U series? For other series (eg. HQ), it'll release next year?
