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! Powered by Intel® Core™ i7 Processor. Intel Inside®. Extraordinary Performance Outside.

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. 40steps Uni-body 2phase Spun-metal !nish Full metal !nish Anodizing method for elegant golden highlights Powered by Intel® Core™ i7 Processor.

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. Powered by Intel® Core™ i7 Processor.

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. 910g /11.9mm MacBook 920g / 13.1mm MacBook Air 1,350g / 17.0mm Powered by Intel® Core™ i7 Processor.
