Smart amplifier: more volume, less distortion
ZenBook Pro 15 uses powerful custom-designed speakers driven by smart-amplifier technology. This intelligently monitors voice coil movement to deliver 1.4x-louder volume with superb fidelity, while also minimizing distortion and preventing speaker damage. Special algorithms auto-detect the physical limits of the speaker components, allowing them to be driven at peak volumes without risk of damage. The result is low-distortion audio at volume levels that are simply not achievable using traditional amplifier technology.

Easier access to advanced controls
Attention to every useful detail is a key part of the ASUS design philosophy. We’ve introduced an evolutionary new way of using the humble Fn key to access your laptop’s features, such as the volume or display brightness. In the past, you’d press the Fn key first to use these features: now, the function keys operate the advanced features by default. If you want to access the standard function keys (F1-F8) simply use the Fn key combination.
