ASUS adds an inverted notch to get its laptop bezels even thinner

[The AchieVer]

 

At CES 2019, ASUS unveiled a new flagship laptop with the world’s thinnest display bezels. ASUS ZenBook S13 comes with a revered notch which reduces the bezels without harming the user experience.

ASUS ZenBook S13 (UX392FN), a Windows 10 device with thinnest display bezels sports a 13.9-inch IPS display. The resolution of the 2-in-1 flagship device from ASUS is 1920×1080 pixels and it comes with 400 nits brightness.

 

ASUS’s laptop with small bezels has a revered notch which holds the front-facing features like the webcam. The company has modified the idea of the notch which is popular in the smartphone market to improve the experience.

Unlike the notch found on smartphones, the ZenBook’s revered notch is not eating up screen space. The implementation of inverted notch allowed ASUS to reduce the bezels in a way that doesn’t remove the web camera or impact the screen-to-body ratio by any means.

The ZenBook S13 is a powerhouse and it comes with up to Intel Core i7-8565U processor. The 2-in-1 flagship device is paired with up to 16GB DDR3 memory and 1TB SSD storage.

 

The performance is pretty good as the device is only offered with SSD storage which ensures a major performance gain versus the traditional HDD option.

Asus proposed dell that they can build motherboard at lower cost than them for them. Dell found this proposition intriguing and profitable so they started outsourcing Motherboards from Asus. Some years later, Asus came with another proposition that they can also assemble computers for Dell as well. Dell perceives this proposition further more profitable. Now, production Cost of computers for dell was very low and Dell could sell their computers at low price than its competitors. On the other hand, Asus was acquiring market  knowledge and market strategy. In 2005, Asus announced that they’ll launch their computers separately from Dell. This was really appalling news for Dell, since Dell decelerated its production levels and entirely outsourcing products from Asus, it was hard for them to successfully compete with their competitors as they previously were.

This is the story for a lot of companies in the US, they got products manufactured from China etc at a very low cost and made huge profits. Now as these companies are selling their own products the companies in the US are feeling threatened. That's why we see US banning  foreign companies citing security reasons.

Was commenting on the placement of the WEBCAM of the ASUS ON top

as compared to Dell's on the bottom (which was a dumb design choice to begin with)

Another case of it needs to go back to the original manufacturers for servicing at a silly price no doubt  ??
