This ZenBook 14 UX431 will have a 14-inch Full HD IPS NanoEdge display which will offer great colours and viewing angles. Yes, this also means that you can expect some really thin bezels for the display, which is said to be about 6.5mm. It is a 15.9mm-thin laptop and weighs in at only 1.49kg.
The ErgoLift hinge also makes it return here which will give users a more comfortable typing experience while also increasing airflow for optimized cooling performance. Another interesting thing here is that it comes with the Exclusive NumberPad feature, where the touchpad also doubles as a proper NumberPad which will instantly glow when you tap on the top right corner of the touchpad.
It is also said to have a Harman Kardon-certified quad-speaker setup consisting of a pair of upward firing speakers flanking the keyboard, and two more bass speakers on the underside of the laptop.

Pokdepinion: Well, they got an SD card reader instead of a MicroSD one. Personally curious about the quad-speaker setup. CES 2019 is going pretty good.
