Asus would readily admit there are compromises at this point, but should they put you off a buy? Having spend a good while the laptop, there’s only one major issue here: performance. Intel has made amazing progress with its Core M series processors over the last 18 months, but the Celeron chipset used here is slow....
The ZenBook Pro range isn’t anything new but it’s been somewhat kept out of the limelight due to rivals such as Dell’s XPS laptops. This year there’s something eye-catching about the device in the form of the ScreenPad. It’s a Full HD screen in place of a regular trackpad which sounds great but is it simply a ‘look over here’ gimmick? Asus ZenBook Pro 15: Price and availability As usual, there are no confirmed details on price and availability but we can expect the ZenBook Pro 15 (UX580) to arrive in Q3 around August or September....
The tournament had plenty of drama even before it started. Novak Djokovic – hoping to earn a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title – had his visa cancelled by Australian authorities, then restored, and then cancelled again, leaving him with a three-year ban on entering Australia that could keep him out of the 2023 and 2024 tournaments too.

It’s still a long way off, with Cyber Monday 2023 not arriving until 27 November, just a few days after Black Friday on 24 November.

That maxed-out Blissey is a wonderful gym defender, but if it has the wrong moves, it might not be as effective as you’d like. Similarly, you can have an army of Machamps or Tyranitars for attacking gyms, but their moveset will determine how much damage they deal. You’ll find the moveset on a Pokémon’s card: The top one – Zen Headbutt – is the Fast Attack, and the bottom one – Psychic – is the Charged Attack....

At first glance, the Chillblast Photo OC isn’t much to look at. It’s housed within an unassuming dark-grey chassis that boasts absolutely no outstanding features. The unit measures a full 31.4mm thick, and weighs 2.4kg, so it’s certainly no ultraportable. However, that’s about average for a 15-inch laptop with a built-in optical drive such as this, and the Photo OC is just about light enough to carry around in a backpack or briefcase when necessary....
