Beauty

Enduring elegance, timeless style
The elegant finish and refined profile of ZenBook Pro belies the power inside. Its precision-crafted solid-aluminum unibody features brilliant diamond-cut edges and the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on the lid, with two sophisticated color schemes - Royal Blue and Matte Black - that let you match your professional style. At just 0.7" thin, with a travel-friendly weight of only 3.9 lbs, the ZenBook Pro is a gorgeous powerhouse that you can take anywhere.

Sleek and elegant design
ZenBook Pro is created via a complex process that requires over 40 steps to complete.

NanoEdge Touchscreen

Thinner edges, more display
The 15.6-inch NanoEdge multi-touch display of the ZenBook Pro is truly remarkable. Along with Full HD resolution and 178deg. wide-view technology, it features an incredibly thin bezel along all four edges of the screen. This super-slim bezel is just 7.3mm wide at its narrowest point, providing a screen-to-body ratio of 83% - so you see more display and less frame. The projected capacitive touch technology of the NanoEdge display has 10-point multi-touch support, so you can use multi-finger gestures for totally intuitive navigation and control. It also supports the Asus Pen for ultra-precise sketching, writing or annotating.

NanoEdge display
Fitting a 15.6-inch display into a frame size that's typical of a 14-inch laptop isn't easy - but the NanoEdge bezel makes it possible. This super-slim bezel measures just 7.3mm at its narrowest point, giving ZenBook Pro an incredible 83% screen-to-body ratio. To create this amazing display, Asus engineers had to overcome many technical challenges. For example, the best place for the camera is at the top of the display: but some rival thin-bezel designs make this impossible, meaning the camera has to be moved to an awkward location below the screen. For ZenBook Pro we managed to solve the problem, to ensure that the camera sits in in its traditional position despite the thinner bezel.

Support Asus Pen
ZenBook Pro supports the Asus Pen, so you can let your creativity flow. Asus Pen can detect even the most minute pressure variations - in 1,024 steps from 10g all the way up to 300g. It also exceeds the industry accuracy standard, so you can hold it at angles of up to 45deg. without affecting the quality and placement of the lines you draw. With Asus Pen - or other active stylus - you can jot down your thoughts, annotate diagrams or sketch out your creative ideas in an intuitive way with a natural, responsive feel.

Audio

Quad-speaker Harman Kardon sound
To equip ZenBook Pro with unsurpassed audio performance, the Asus Golden Ear team joined forces with audiophile specialists Harman Kardon to produce the next generation of Asus SonicMaster audio technology. And the results are astonishing. With an array of four separate high-quality speakers powered by two smart amplifiers, ZenBook Pro offers true surround-sound that's 2.5x louder than the previous generation, with a 1.6x-wider frequency response. This unique combination of hardware and Asus SonicMaster software is how ZenBook Pro delivers the most incredible sound you've ever heard on a laptop.

Smart amplifier: more volume, less distortion
The speakers of ZenBook Pro are driven by smart-amplifier technology that delivers 2.5x louder volume with superb fidelity by intelligently monitoring voice coil movement to prevent distortion and damage. Special algorithms auto-detect the physical limits of the speaker components, allowing them to be driven at peak volumes without risk of damage. The result is distortion-free audio at volume levels that are simply not achievable using traditional amplifier technology.

Immersive audio
Each stereo channel uses a pair of high-quality speakers: one larger woofer that is designed to handle the low-frequency sounds and one smaller tweeter that delivers crystal-clear high frequencies.
