Built with multimedia in mind, this delivers and then some. It certainly looks the part, with its sleek, slim and lightweight design that cleverly disguises the vast amount of power and features hidden inside. That's where this Asus really excels, largely thanks to its 7th Generation Intel Core processor, which manages your power efficiently and quickly. The screen looks the business too, with 4K UHD gorgeousness that comes with added 100% sRGB color gamut. The graphics from the NVIDIA GeForce GTX mean that you can get some casual gaming in during work breaks (or when you've taken an extra day off to get through that last level), and the sound is epic. That's down to the SonicMaster audio system that's been co-developed by Harman Kardon. The whole machine keeps nice and cool, and charges much faster than you might believe possible. For streaming albums, films, and TV shows, this is going to do the job and look good while doing it.
