As if its ROG event wasn’t enough, ASUS also unleashed a new lineup of premium consumer notebooks at this year’s Computex in Taiwan. One of these is the new ZenBook S.
The ZenBook S is a premium ultraportable laptop designed to deliver effortless portability without any compromise to performance, connectivity and durability, as it’s tested to meet the MIL-STD-810G standards. It has in fact received both the Best Choice of the Year and Best Choice Golden Award at Computex 2018.
Finished in Deep Dive Blue and elegant Burgundy Red, the ZenBook S features an ultra thin profile of just 12.9mm, and an ultra light body that weighs just 1kg. It also bears the iconic Zen-inspired spun metal finish to add a luxurious feel.
Its ErgoLift hinge lets you type with the same feel as if you were using a regular desktop keyboard, and also adds extra space for ventilation, and most importantly, allows the Harman Kardon audio system to function at its best, delivering clear sound with improved bass response.
The ZenBook S has up to a 4K UHD NanoEdge touchscreen, and is powered by up to an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor along with up to 16GB of RAM, and up to a 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, allowing users to enjoy great performance with whatever task that they’re doing. Its advanced cooling system also allows the ZenBook S to run 5°C cooler versus previous ZenBook models.
Two of its three USB-C ports support Thunderbolt 3, which means you can further expand its capabilities through a wide range of compatible devices. It also comes with Amazon Alexa support, which lets you do a lot of things on your laptop in a new and smarter way.
Then finally, the ZenBook S delivers up to an amazing 13.5 hours of battery life, letting you do more without having to worry about finding the nearest power outlet.
