Asus ZenBook 14X Space Edition Price in Nepal [Updated]

1

At CES 2022, Asus announced the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition which hit the market in April. It has now been officially launched in Nepal by Nagmani International. In this article, we will be discussing the specs, features, official price, and availability of the Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition in Nepal.

Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition Overview:

Design

Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition was first announced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the P6300 laptop that was part of a space mission in 1998. Needless to say, the design of the laptop takes a lot of visual cues from space. The chassis is made out of an aluminum alloy finished with Zero-G Titanium color, which the company says is reflective of the material used in spacecraft.

The laptop is even compliant with space-grade durability tests. In addition to the US military standard that most Asus laptops have, the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition even passes SMC-S-016A. The laptop is full of space-themed motifs and easter eggs encrypted in Morse code.

Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition Lid

Asus has even integrated a 3.5-inch OLED monochrome display towards the edge of the outer lid.

The outer lid has a 3.5-inch OLED monochrome display. By default, it displays space-themed animation as well as smart notifications. But you can also use it to show off customized text using the MyAsus app.

Display

Opening the lid, you are greeted with a 14-inch OLED panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Globally, Asus provides a ton of display options, but the one available in Nepal boasts 10-bit color depth, 90Hz refresh rate, and response time of 0.2ms. It boasts 550 nits of peak HDR brightness and has VESA DisplayHDR certification to back it up. Moreover, it covers 100% DCI-P3 coverage and has Pantone Validation out of the box.

By the way, it is a glossy screen with multi-touch support. So, you can buy a compatible stylus and start sketching on it. It even has SGS Eye Care certification against blue light emission. The bezels are pretty minimal resulting in a 92% screen-to-body ratio.

Performance

Under the hood, Asus ZenBoook 14X OLED Space Edition packs the latest Core-i712700H processor with 6 performance and 8 efficiency cores. There is no discrete GPU. Thus, you will have to rely on the integrated Iris Xe graphics for graphics-related tasks. There is 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM onboard along with 1TB of NCME SSD.

For heat management, Asus has included the IceCool thermal technology. It’s an active cooling solution with two fans and heat pipes (6mm + 8mm). The fans are made of a liquid-crystal polymer and feature 87 blades each.

Input and Audio

Even the keyboard deck reflects the space-inspired theme. It is a full-sized keyboard with 19.05mm key pitch and 1.4mm travel. The key caps are dished to match the shape of the fingertip. Accompanying it is an anti-fingerprint touchpad with a hydrophobic coating. It can instantly transit to a number pad with a press of a button. There is even a fingerprint button integrated into the power button.

If you have to attend video calls and conferences, there is a 720p webcam. Furthermore, Asus has included its AI noise-canceling software that filters out ambient noise to make human voice clearer.

Rest of the Specs

Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is powered by a 3-cell 63WHr Li-ion battery that supports 100W PD charging. The company even includes a compatible charger in the box. The port selection is also quite good. Here, you get two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, a USB-A, an HDMI, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microSD card reader.

0

Nepal is bringing a bunch of new JBL products here, and JBL Wave Flex is one of them. The product is similar to Tune Flex but without the ANC part. These pair of earbuds bring in JBL’s audio with a long-lasting battery life and a fairly decent list of specs. So, without further ado, let’s quickly dive into the specifications, features, and price of JBL Wave Flex BT earbuds in Nepal.

Stick-open design

As for the design, JBL Wave Flex features half-in-ear/open-fit earbuds, which JBL refers to as a “stick-open” design.

This stem allows users to control music playback, calls, and volume without needing to pick up their phone.

Additionally, both the buds and the case get LEDs over here to indicate their connection or charging status. The Wave Flex is lightweight, with the buds weighing 3.8 grams per piece, and the case adding approximately 35 grams of extra weight to carry around. Likewise, it comes with an IP54 rating, providing protection against water and dust. Even the case is IPX2 rated.

The color options available in the market are Blue, White, Beige, and Black. However, only two are arriving in Nepal: Black and Blue ones.

Audio

On the flip side, the Wave Flex highlights the “Deep Bass Sound”, thanks to its 12mm drivers. You also have a microphone built-in, facilitating Smart Ambient technology for ENC as well as Ambient Aware and TalkThru for transparency mode.

Daraz Like New: A NEW Feature to buy OLD smartphones!

In Nepal, the secondhand online marketplace isn’t as popular and widespread as in some other countries, let’s say India. We do have a few options, like Hamrobazar, Sabko Phone, Arko Store, and even the Facebook marketplace. But now, there’s something new from Daraz called “Daraz Like New”.

Daraz unveiled its new product/feature yesterday (Sept. 5, 2023) during an event where the company claimed that the phones, we buy there will look almost brand new. The event had guests from media, influencers, and e-waste advocates, showcasing Daraz’s commitment to local sellers with the launch of “Daraz Like New.” The guests also got to test the secondhand devices at the event. In this article, you will see insights into what this scheme is, how to access it on Daraz, and many more.

Daraz like new eventDaraz Like New Overview:

For the scheme, Daraz will sell the devices (for now, it is only limited to smartphones) only after proper testing. So, according to Daraz, it’s like getting a secondhand phone that feels like new.

What are they promoting in the new Daraz platform?

Quality check and standard

The Daraz team of experts examines every phone, going through over 60 quality checkpoints. According to them, this process ensures that each device meets the highest standards before it reaches consumers’ hands.

Moreover, to serve different preferences, the phones are categorized into Grade A+ (free from visible scratches) and Grade A (showcasing minimal scratches). Also, Daraz provides 360-degree videos of used smartphones, allowing users to thoroughly inspect every aspect of the device.

MDMS registered and VAT Bill

Daraz Like New provides customers with a VAT bill for complete transparency and every phone will be MDMS registered. Additionally, each phone purchase comes with a warranty lasting from 3 to 6 months. The company wants to assure customers that their investment is protected. They also ensure the customized packaging of phones, delivering an unboxing experience.

Sustainability

The new platform tries to contribute to reducing electronic waste, they believe it not only protects the environment but also customers’ wallets.

How to use Daraz Like New Feature

Buying a secondhand smartphone through Daraz’s “Daraz Like New” feature is quite easy. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Visit Daraz’s Application or Website: First, open the Daraz app or head to their website.
  2. Search for “Daraz Like New”: In the search tab, type “Daraz Like New,” and hit enter. It’s as easy as that.
  3. Browse the Selection: Voila! You’ll instantly gain access to a wide array of secondhand smartphones, ranging from Android to iPhones.
  4. Filter Your Preferences: To narrow down your options and find the perfect phone, use the category section. Select the brand you prefer, choose the number of cameras, pick your desired network connection, specify the model year, and explore many more customizable options.

Conclusion

As Daraz Like New emerges in Nepal’s secondhand smartphone market, its commitment to quality, transparency, and sustainability is yet to be proven. Also, its true test lies in whether it can effectively stand out and compete against existing secondhand platforms. With its user-friendly approach and emphasis on trust and eco-consciousness, it has the potential to reshape the way Nepali consumers approach secondhand smartphone purchases, but time will tell if it can truly distinguish itself in this competitive landscape.

Guess what’s back? It’s the NADA Auto Show!

Nepal’s only automobile show — The NADA Auto Show, is finally returning after four long years of break. The 15th edition of the NADA Auto Show will start on 12th September 2023 and be held till 17th September 2023. The auto show will happen at the Exhibition Hall in Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu.

NADA Auto Show 2023 Overview

The last NADA Auto Show took place back in August 2019. After this, the global pandemic along with the degrading Nepali economy and government regulations brought in response to it, made it difficult to organise such an expo. Despite the difficulties, NADA did organise an expo in September 2022 but focused only on EVs.

15th Nada Auto Show

This time around, NADA will be organising a full-fledged Auto Show with a wide range of attractions. The show has participation from 16 four-wheeler brands, 22 two-wheeler brands, 7 light commercial vehicle brands, 9 financial institutions, and 30 different companies of lubricants, tyres, batteries, accessories, etc. The show will be divided into 120 different blocks and stalls of different sizes. Visitors will be provided with a shuttle service from various locations in coordination with Mahanagar Yatayat.

NADA Auto show 2023 Event

NADA Automobiles Association of Nepal say that they are aiming to kickstart the slowed-down Nepali economy with this auto show. This time around they have taken a more informative, service-oriented, and consumer-centric approach. They have managed a stall with automobile-related magazines and newspapers for visitors, along with a dedicated space for the Metropolitan Traffic Police Division in order to educate visitors about traffic rules and road safety.

Tickets, Discounts and Cashback

With the wide range of attractions, the organisers are expecting 75,000 visitors throughout the event. The NADA Auto Show tickets cost Rs. 200 for regular folks, whereas students can get Rs. 50 off their ticket. You can get the tickets from Khalti and get 20% cashback using promo code “NADA2023”. To top it off, you might also win a Yadea E8S Pro scooter as a bumper prize through a lucky draw!

Anker Soundcore R50i Review: Fan of the BASS!

1

So, I’ve been testing the Soundcore R50i earbuds for a few days, and let me tell you I am absolutely a fan. That being said, it is missing a couple of QOL (Quality of Life) features that I’d have loved to see. But how do the pros and cons weigh out? Should you consider them for NPR 4500? Well, continue reading my review of the Anker Soundcore R50i TWS earbuds to find out. But before that, here are the brief specifications.

Anker Soundcore R50i Review:

Design and Build

The Anker Soundcore R50i are in-ear TWS buds with an Apple Airpods-like design. Both the buds and the case are made out of plastic so they don’t weigh much. Personally, they fit in my ears really well and stayed there. And despite long hours of use, they didn’t feel painful or fatiguing to wear.  Soundcore R50i buds secure an IPX5 sweat resistance rating so wearing them to my workouts wasn’t a worry either.

The case is compact with an embedded Soundcore logo on the center. There’s even a detachable lanyard for those who prefer to keep their buds with them at all times.

Soundcore App and Controls

To make the most of your R50i earbuds, you’ll need to download their companion Soundcore App. After pairing, the app allows you to switch between EQ modes, customize controls, ring your buds in case they go missing, and turn on gaming mode.

The touch controls work reliably given you touch the Soundcore logo without missing. You can assign single taps, double taps, and holds to different actions via the app.

Audio

Getting to the audio, the Anker R50i(s) are impressive for the price. They house 10mm drivers with Soundcore’s BassUp technology. They have thumpy bass and pack a lot of punch for the size. You can opt-in for even more bass by switching the ‘BassUp’ toggle but that was a bit much for me.

The mids are clear and sound decent but the buds sound too sharp at higher volumes. Luckily, the aforementioned Soundcore app allows you to change between different EQ presets and you can choose the one that fits your music taste the best. My go-to was the ‘flat’ present with boosted mids and balanced bass /trebles.

Gaming and Calls

The buds do support a Gaming Mode. The exact latency is not mentioned but if I were to guess it is somewhere between 40-45 ms. That’s still noticeable but it’s good enough for casual gaming. As such, I enjoyed playing PUBGM, Clash Royal, and other titles without compromise.

Calls don’t sound too great, to be honest. You should be fine taking one indoors but anything involving ambient noise degrades clarity. Also, since the Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) isn’t too great, background noises aren’t properly suppressed which makes voices hard to make out.

Battery

In my testing, the buds lasted me about 2 days at around 60% volume. This includes about 4-5 hours of audio playback a day. A quick 5-minute charge gave me another 40+ minutes of juice.

Anker Soundcore R50i Review: Conclusion

So to sum it up, the Anker Soundcore R50i buds are a great choice for under NPR 5000. If you are looking to purchase wireless buds for casual music listening, and love tinkering around, I think these would be ideal. You can choose from the 22 different EQ presents or go full BASS with Soundcore signature + BassUP.

They don’t go too deep in your ear but enough to have a bit of a passive seal. This results in a comfortable set of buds you put in and forget about. Battery life is great and I had no problems with the Bluetooth range or the strength. But I would have loved for it to have ‘Dual Pair’ which is unfortunately missing here. That means you manually have to disconnect the buds from one device before playing from the other.
