The world’s most prestigious laptop with unprecedented
performance
To say that ZenBook 3 is a new generation of ZenBook is a huge
understatement — it’s ZenBook reimagined for the next era of mobile
computing. Every single precision component and every elegantly crafted detail
has been completely re-engineered and redesigned to make ZenBook 3 the most
sophisticated ZenBook yet. It’s lighter, thinner, stronger, impossibly
powerful — and utterly beautiful. Simply, it’s the world’s most
incredible laptop. Say hello to ZenBook 3.
Crafted to perfection
ZenBook 3’s design took some serious engineering prowess and craftsmanship to
realize. The ultra-thin 11.9mm profile meant we had to invent the
world’s most compact laptop hinge — just 3mm high — to preserve its
sleek lines. To fit in the full-size keyboard, we had to create a surround
that’s just 2.1mm wide at the edges, and we designed the powerful
four-speaker audio system in partnership with audiophile specialists Harman
Kardon. ZenBook is renowned for its unique, stunning looks, and you’ll
instantly recognize the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on ZenBook
3’s all-metal unibody enclosure — a finish that takes 40 painstaking
steps to create. But we’ve added a beautiful twist, using a special 2-phase
anodizing process to create stunning golden edge highlights. To complete this
sophisticated new theme, we’ve added a unique gold ASUS logo and given the
keyboard a matching gold backlight.
Thinner. Lighter. Tougher.
ZenBook has always been the benchmark for thin and light design, and with
ZenBook 3 we’ve taken it to a whole new level. Using premium, aerospace-grade
aluminum — lighter than standard laptop alloy, but 50% stronger — we
reduced the weight to only 910g and honed the profile to an amazingly thin
11.9mm. To keep the display lightweight and ultra-slim, yet tough, we covered it
with just 0.4mm of super-strong Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4, which is twice as
thin as standard cover glass.
Spectacular display
ZenBook 3 introduces our very first laptop display covered with full
edge-to-edge Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4. The ultra-slim bezel is just 7.6mm
wide, giving ZenBook 3 a class-leading 82% screen-to-body ratio. More
importantly, it gives you a distraction-free view of the stunning 12.5-inch Full
HD screen. With its wide 178° viewing angles, superb color reproduction and
crisp detail, it really does need to be seen to be believed.
Ultra-realistic visuals
To bring you the ultimate visual experience, ZenBook 3 harnesses the power of
our own exclusive display technologies, with optimized hardware and software
components combined to deliver the best possible images. The wide 72% NTSC color
gamut and TV-grade 1000:1 contrast ratio ensure more-vivid, more-lifelike
colors, and ASUS Splendid technology fine-tunes display parameters to ensure
superb color accuracy, as well as providing automatic optimization for any kind
of image. ASUS Tru2life Video is a remarkable real-time video enhancement
technology that optimizes the appearance of every pixel in every video frame,
delivering 200% better contrast and pin-point sharpness.
Unbelievably powerful
Our engineers had an almost impossible task when choosing the components for
ZenBook 3. Their belief was to create an ultra-thin laptop with unprecedented
performance, and despite some tough challenges, they’ve succeeded. The result
is an unbelievably powerful laptop, with the latest Intel® Core™ i6
processor, 8GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM, an ultra-fast up to 512TB PCIe SSD and the
latest USB-C port that support display. So there’s no need to worry about
what you can or can’t do with ZenBook 3 — it’s practically
unstoppable.
The coolest of cool
The problem with fast, ultra-thin laptops boils down to basic physics. To
prevent the laptop enclosure itself getting hot, warm air inside needs to be
expelled as quickly as possible to the outside world. With ZenBook 3’s mighty
Intel® Core™ i7 processor inside, our engineers had to invent a brand-new
cooling system using state-of-the-art components such as a
liquid-crystal-polymer fan impeller that’s just 0.3mm thick and a
copper-alloy heat pipe with walls a mere 0.1mm thick. This innovative cooling
system is a mere 3mm thick, and the warm air is gently routed through hidden
vents in the hinge for efficient, serenely quiet cooling even under
full load.
All-day battery, charged in minutes
A laptop as beautiful and powerful as ZenBook 3 deserves nothing less than
all-day battery life, so to achieve its remarkable up to 9 hours autonomy we
designed a special high-capacity 40Wh lithium-polymer battery, specially shaped
to fit precisely into the impossibly thin profile. We also added fast charging
technology that allows you to charge it up to 60% capacity in just
49 minutes.
Mobility without bounds
We live in a wireless world, and ZenBook 3 is fully equipped to give you the
very best connections, everywhere. It features the latest power-efficient
Bluetooth® 4.1 and dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi that’s more reliable and three
times faster than the previous-generation 802.11n. And with our exclusive
software you can create your own personal data cloud for fast, secure and
convenient access to all your files, wherever they’re stored — on your
ZenBook 3, on your mobile devices, or in the cloud.
No-compromise productivity
The best ultraportable laptop doesn’t deserve a keyboard that’s an
afterthought, and with ZenBook 3 it’s been engineered into the design from
the start. The full-size backlit keyboard stretches from edge to edge, with just
a 2.1mm bezel at each side, and has a key pitch (the distance between the center
of each key) of 19.8mm, the same as most desktop keyboards. And although the
keyboard is incredibly slim — 28% thinner than the previous generation, in
fact — there’s still an impressive 0.8mm key travel, which is twice as
much as some rivals! ZenBook 3’s precision touchpad is cleverly engineered
for maximum comfort and accuracy, with a glass covering for smooth control, and
incorporating palm-rejection technology, Smart Gestures and handwriting
support.
One-touch access with Windows Hello
Accessing your ZenBook 3 couldn’t be easier or more secure. With the built-in
fingerprint sensor in the touchpad and Windows Hello, there’s no need to type
in your password every time to log in. Just a single touch is all it takes!
Sound that will amaze you
To give ZenBook 3 unsurpassed audio capabilities, the ASUS Golden Ear team and
audiophile specialists Harman Kardon joined forces to produce the next
generation of ASUS SonicMaster audio technology, and the results are
astonishing. An array of four separate high-quality speakers is powered by a
smart four-channel amplifier to bring you true surround-sound that envelops you
with distortion-free, cinema-quality realism. ZenBook 3 really does give you
the most incredible sound you’ve ever heard on a laptop.
