The World’s most Prestigious Laptop with Unprecedented Performance
Honored with the Best Choice Award 2016 and Computex d&I Award, the all-new ASUS ZenBook 3 is the next generation of the groundbreaking ASUS ZenBook family of high-performance ultraportable laptops. It has been completely redesigned from the ground up. 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, once you experience ZenBook 3, you won’t be satisfied with anything else. It’s a new classic. It’s your next ambition. 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 the audiophiles at Harman Kardon.
Pioneering technology meets world-renowned design
ZenBook has always been renowned for its unique, stunning looks, and you’ll instantly recog- nize the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on ZenBook 3’s all-metal unibody chassis. The classic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish is even finer and more detailed, the result of a complex 40-step process that now includes an extra polishing step using an ultra-fine abrasive. And 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 golden ASUS logo on the lid and given the keyboard a matching gold-hued backlight.

Inspired colors
A laptop as prestigious as ZenBook 3 deserves colors that are out of the ordinary. Each of the three stunning themes — Royal Blue, Rose Gold and Quartz Grey — has its own individual inspiration, and each color is designed to work in perfect harmony with the luxurious golden detailing.
Royal Blue is inspired by the awe-inspiring beauty of a golden sunrise over the deep-blue ocean, a sight that you’ll never forget once you’ve seen it.
Rose Gold echoes the sophistication of fine rosé champagne, served in elegant gold-rimmed flutes. Truly a sign of distinction.
Quartz Grey reflects the stunning contrasts of native gold and crystalline quartz, a harmonious geological pairing celebrated in this classic theme.

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.

The fastest memory the best multitasking
In keeping with our search for the ultimate performance, for ZenBook 3 we chose the world’s fastest LPDDR3 RAM, clocked at an amazing 2133MHz. Despite its speed, it uses very little power, helping to keep ZenBook running for longer. And with up to 16GB RAM, your ZenBook 3 will handle multiple demanding tasks without skipping a beat.

Cooling evolved A brand-new cooling system
The problem with many fast, ultra-thin laptops boils down to basic physics: performance generates heat. We can’t redesign the laws of physics, but we can solve the problem. To prevent the laptop enclosure itself 3mm 0.3mm getting hot, the warm air generated inside needs to be expelled as quickly as possible to the outside world. Thermal system Liquid-crystal With ZenBook 3’s mighty Intel® Core™ i7 processor inside, our engineers had to invent a brand-new cooling polymer fan impeller 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. The entire cooling module 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.

Redesign the battery 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 new 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 to 60% capacity in just 49 minutes. ZenBook 3 uses lithium-polymer batteries that last up to 700 charge cycles — 2.5 times the lifespan of standard lithium-ion cylinder batteries. Lithium-polymer batteries also retain up to 80% of their original capacity even after hundreds of charge cycles, so you don’t have to worry about deteriorating battery performance.

No-compromise productivity 19.8mm Backlit X-pitch Keyboard 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 2x distance between the centers 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! Typing is so 0.8mm much more comfortable with ZenBook 3’s amazing keyboard. 0.4mm
