From CNET: There wasn't a new ZenFone to be seen at Computex and it feels deliberate.
Instead of launching a new phone like last year at one of the biggest PC-focused events in the region, the Taiwanese manufacturer is going back to its roots with a launch of four new notebooks.
The new ZenBook Pro takes center stage, featuring powerful hardware in a slim form factor -- an Intel Core i7-7700HQ as well as a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, while the world's thinnest convertible ZenBook Flip S lets you play around with its 4K display.
But it's not all just flagship products, Asus also announced new VivoBooks meant for the mainstream market. The new VivoBook Pro packs Intel's seventh-generation processors and comes loaded with discrete graphics in the form of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1050. The VivoBook S15 features more modest specs but still packs Nvidia GeForce GTX 940 discrete graphics.
The move to focus on laptops is a surprising one, given that the PC market is shrinking. But perhaps the company's new ZenFone isn't ready to dazzle the market just yet and spotlighting PCs again makes sense what with Computex's PC and electronics focus.
