Crafted to Perfection
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 anybody enclosure - a finish that takes 40 painstaking steps to create. But they have added a beautiful twist, using a special 2-phase anodizing process to create stunning golden edge highlights. The result is an ideal combination of durability and portability.

Thinner, Lighter, Tougher
ZenBook has always been the benchmark for thin and light design and with ZenBook 3they have taken it to a whole new level. Using premium, aerospace-grade aluminum - lighter than standard laptop alloy, but 50% stronger - they reduced the weight to only 2 lbs. and reduced it to an amazingly thin 0.46" profile . To keep the display lightweight and ultra-slim, yet tough, they 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 is paired with a newly designed display with improved clarity and form factor. The ultra-slim bezel is just 0.3" 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" Full HD screen. With its wide 178deg. viewing angles, superb color reproduction and crisp detail, it really does need to be seen to be believed.

Unbelievably Powerful
ZenBook 3 overcomes the challenge of combining high-performance components into the smallest chassis yet for the ZenBook series. The result is an unbelievably powerful laptop, with the latest Intel Core i7 processor, up to 16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM, an ultra-fast 512GB PCIe Gen 3 SSD and the latest USB-C port that supports display. So there's no need to worry about what you can or can't do with ZenBook 3 - it's practically unstoppable.

Robust Cooling Performance
With ZenBook 3's mighty Intel Core i7 processor inside a slim chassis, their 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 with Quick Charging
Despite its ultra-slim design, ZenBook 3 provides battery life to last you throughout the day. To achieve its remarkable up to 9 hours lifespan, they designed a special high-capacity 40Wh lithium-polymer battery, specially shaped to fit precisely into the impossibly thin profile and also added fast charging technology that allows you to charge it up to 60% capacity in just 49 minutes. Stay charged for longer and spend less time charging!

No-compromises Keyboard
ZenBook 3's 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.

Fingerprint Sensor
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 allowing you to unlock your ZenBook 3 as effortlessly as a smartphone.

Sonic master Premium
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.
