Asus launches new light & portable ZenBook 14 UM431 & ZenBook Flip 14 UM462 with 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs, price starts from ₹59,990

Asus is known for its thin and portable laptops especially for their series including VivoBook and ZenBook series. Asus did have a good partnership with AMD previously when they announce the lower-end VivoBook series with Ryzen 2000 CPUs which even was a massive hit for budget-end consumers.

To further increase its work with AMD, Asus has launched the new ZenBook 14 (UM431DA) and ZenBook Flip 14 (UM462DA) laptops, and ROG Strix GL10DH desktop in India. The laptops are powered by the latest Ryzen 3000 mobile APUs that are based on AMD’s Zen+ architecture, built on 12nm process.

Obviously, these laptops are targetted for productivity purposes which include both regular and business consumers. On the other hand, the ROG Strix GL10DH desktop is powered by AMD’s beastly 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 3800X processor and is targetted towards gaming enthusiasts.
