ASUS ZENBOOK 3 UX390UA-GS033T Grey Metallic

To say that ZenBook 3 is a new generation of ZenBook is a huge understatement — it’s ZenBook reimagined for the next era of mobile computing. 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.  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. It weighs only 910 grams. Simply, it’s the world’s most incredible laptop. Say hello to ZenBook 3.

Incredible performance in a slim body

Our engineers had an almost impossible task when choosing the components for ZenBook 3. Their belief was to create an ultra-thin laptop with unprecedented performance, and despite some tough challenges, they’ve succeeded. The result is an unbelievably powerful laptop, with the latest Intel Core i5 processor with a frequency of 1600 MHz, 8GB of memory and a very fast SSD with a capacity of 256GB.

Amazing display

ZenBook 3 introduces our very first laptop display covered with full edge-to-edge Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The ultra-slim bezel is just 7.6mm 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-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) screen. With its wide 178° viewing angles, superb colour reproduction and crisp detail, it really does need to be seen to be believed.

Perfect operation and maximum safety

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 distance between the centre 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.

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!

Completely connected

ZenBook 3 is equipped like the Apple MacBook with only one connector - the USB-C specification Thunderbolt. Connecting to all your devices (monitors) and peripherals couldn’t be easier or faster, with ZenBook 3’s next-generation USB-C port. This supports displays, power delivery and data transfer, all via one reversible connector.  The ZenBook 3 also has the classic 3.5 combo jack for headphones and microphone. We have designed a special 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 up to 60% capacity in just 49 minutes.

Life without wires

We live in a wireless world, and ZenBook 3 is fully equipped to give you the very best connections, everywhere. It features the latest power-efficient Bluetooth 4.1 and dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi that’s more reliable and three times faster than the previous-generation 802.11n. It reaches a speed of up to 867Mb/s. Intel WiDi facilitates the wireless transmission of images so nothing prevents you from comfortable streaming music, movies, and photos to your smart TV (subject to support of WiDi).

Stunning sound

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.
