The Zenbook’s display however has serious problems when it comes to reproducing colors. That was expected for the UX303, which offers a touchscreen with protective glass on top, but Apple’s screen lacks touch, so perhaps they could have went with a better anti-glare finishing. But OS X is not perfect when it comes to scaling either.Īt the same time, both panels are bright (above 350 nits) and have decent measured contrast (above 750:1 for the Mac, about 500:1 for the Asus) and both are glossy.

In fact, if we consider that plenty of older third party apps still don’t scale well on Windows 8.1, the higher resolution can be seen as a disadvantage, for now. Asus’s option packs even more pixels, but you’ll hardly see the difference in everyday use. On paper, both sides look great, with sharp IPS displays. Air is blown out through the hinge on both, partially towards the rear and partially upwards, into the screen and back to the user. Taking a quick look at the bellies, you’ll find some cooling cuts on the UX303LN and none of the Retina Pro, which anticipates the more powerful hardware inside the first.

The latter still sports a more complex design, with a ripple effect on the lid cover and different shares of metal used around the body, while the Macbook remains simpler, with its silver aluminum unibody, but gets the lit Apple logo on the hood.īut the more compact Macbook Pro 13 is absolutely stunning as well I can’t say one of these looks better or feels sturdier than the other, that’s mostly a matter of personal taste, but I can say this: both are some of the most well made laptops out there.Īpple’s Macbooks have been a reference for years when it comes to build quality, but Asus actually managed to come close with their latest Zenbook. While Asus did announce several configs for the UX303LN, only the top one is now available in SELECT countries, with no word on when the others will get in stores or if they will be available worldwide (I’d reckon they won’t Asus tends to offer only several configurations on the bigger markets, and more in smaller countries).The TOP Asus config (Core i7-4510U, Nvidia 840M, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 3200 x 1800 px IGZO touchscreen) sells for $1300, while Apple asks just as much for the base-version of the Macbook Pro 13 (Core i5-4278U, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD).But there are two things to keep in mind: Top version ~ $1300 starts at $849 ( latest discounts)īoth devices are available in a few different configurations. Top version ~ $1800 starts at $1299 ( latest discounts) Intel Core i5-4278U, Core i5-4308U, Core i7-4578UĢxUSB 3.0, SD card reader, HDMI, 2 x ThunderboltģxUSB 3.0, SD card reader, HDMI, miniDP, VGA and RJ45 (with adapters) Is it normal for the monitors to come from the factory with different settings? I didn't have to change the MST setting on the first monitor at all.MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Mid 2014)ġ3.3 inch, IPS 2560 x 1600 px glossy non-touchġ3.3 inch, either IPS 1920 x 1080 px non-glare or IGZO IPS 3200 x 1800 PX touchscreen The current setting appears to be producing the same image quality as the first of these monitors (which I bought last week) provided out of the box. This is the highest res that is not marked "low resolution" except for 3840 x 2160, which makes things on screen way too small. The refresh rate is set to 60Hz and greyed out on all of these.Ĭurrently I have MST = secondary and display options = 1920 x 1080 30Hz.

Previously in MST = off, the scaled resolutions available ranged from 720p to 2560 x 1440 (plus a bunch more if I use the Option key). The refresh rate is set to 30Hz and greyed out on all of these. I've factory reset the monitor and tried every setting I can find, but it won't behave like the other one I purchased a week apart.Ĭurrently in MST = secondary, the scaled resolutions available are from 1280 x 720 to 2560 x 1440 ( low res). If I move it up to the Dell monitor the buttons change shape and size. If I move the browser window down to the laptop, rendering is fine. the fonts and so on display smaller.Īnd, HTML elements like form buttons render wrong on the monitor. The text is fuzzy (this was the reason I bought these monitors) and the screen is yellowish. I took delivery of the second one in NJ and it does not work the same. I took delivery of one in CA and it works as expected. I just purchased two P2415Q hi-def monitors for use with my mid-2014 MacBook Pro 13" Retina.
