ASUS ZenBook 3 — The World’s Most Prestigious Laptop with Unprecedented Performance
The next-generation ZenBook is completely redesigned with a gorgeous, ultra-sleek 11.9mm chassis that weighs a mere 910g. To achieve its surprising lightness without compromising strength, ZenBook 3 is crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy, a premium material that is 50% stronger than the standard alloy used in laptops. As well as being robust and light, this material is also supremely elegant and features the signature ZenBook spun-metal finish. ZenBook 3 delivers unprecedented performance with up to an Intel® Core™ i7 processor, 16GB of 2133MHz RAM, up to a 1TB PCIe® Gen 3 x4 SSD, a next-gen USB Type-C port, and powerful quad-speaker audio by Harman Kardon. Its high-resolution 12.5-inch display has a full 72% NTSC colour gamut and has an edge-to-edge covering of tough, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
A slim bezel design provides an 82% screen-to-body ratio for the maximum display size with the minimum footprint. ZenBook 3 has an innovative cooling system featuring the world’s thinnest fan design at just 3mm. This efficient cooling enables ZenBook 3 to achieve incredible performance in an ultra-thin form factor. ZenBook 3 provides up to 9 hours of battery life for all-day computing. When it’s time to recharge, fast-charge technology brings ZenBook 3’s battery up to 60% capacity in just 49 minutes. It features a full-size backlit keyboard with 19.8mm key pitch — the same as most desktop keyboards — and 0.8mm key travel to deliver comfortable typing experience. A glass-covered precision touchpad provides smooth and accurate input and incorporates palm-rejection technology, Smart Gestures, and handwriting support for enhanced usability. A built-in fingerprint reader with Windows ‘Hello’ support gives users instant one-touch access allowing them to sign in and unlock ZenBook 3 quickly and securely without having to type their password or PIN.
