ASUS has announced the availability of ZenBook S in Burgundy Red for a 13.3-inch ultraportable Windows 10 laptop that not only aims to deliver portability, powerful performance and connectivity for discerning on-the-go users, but is also tested to meet military-grade MIL-STD-810G durability standards.
With an ultrathin 12.9mm profile and an ultralight all-metal unibody weighing just 2.31 lbs., the sophisticated ZenBook S now incorporates the innovative new ErgoLift hinge that automatically tilts the keyboard by 5.5° for the ultimate typing comfort: the raised chassis also improves airflow and enhances audio performance.
Powered by an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and a superfast 256GB PCIe SSD, ZenBook S also features a brilliant Full HD IPS-level display and delivers up to 13.5 hours of battery life for all-day performance. For ultrafast connectivity, two of the three USB Type-C (USB-C) ports support Thunderbolt . ZenBook S also features Amazon Alexa support for easy voice-controlled assistance.
ZenBook S was originally introduced in a luscious Deep Dive Blue color. The new and distinctive Burgundy Red color reflects the breathtaking beauty of a sky turned deep red at sunset: it’s an awe-inspiring modern shade that reflects passion, sophistication, and individuality. Both color options feature the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on the lid, a design feature that’s created using a complex 40-step manufacturing process, and which is exclusive to the ZenBook Series.
All-day Performance
ZenBook S is built to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible, with no fuss or drama. An 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor, 8GB of fast 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM and a 256GB SSD allow users to enjoy smooth and responsive performance whatever they’re doing. For maximum sustained performance, ZenBook S uses an upgraded cooling system incorporating state-of-the-art components, including an innovative liquid-crystal-polymer fan impeller with 71 blades — an increase of 40% over previous designs — housed in an advanced 3D-curved aerodynamic shroud that can move 13.4% more air than before. With this cooling system, ZenBook S runs up to 5°C cooler than previous ZenBook models.
A laptop as beautiful as ZenBook S deserves equally beautiful visuals, so it’s fitted with a brilliant Full HD IPS-level display with a wide 72% NTSC color gamut for breathtakingly-lifelike colors and detail. The bezel width has been slimmed even further — to just 5.9mm — to give an amazing 85% screen-to-body ratio for even more immersive visuals.
For all-working-day autonomy, ZenBook S uses a high-capacity battery that lasts up to 13.5 hours, with fast-charge technology that recharges a flat battery to 60% capacity in as little as 49 minutes.
No-compromise connectivity is essential in an ultraportable laptop. ZenBook S delivers the ultimate speed of Thunderbolt 3 in two of its three USB-C ports, and all three ports support fast charging, data transfers and display connectivity. And for desktop-grade connectivity, users can simply connect the handy ASUS Mini Dock.
Amazon Alexa is a cloud-based voice service that helps users with tasks, entertainment, general information, and more. Using Alexa is as simple as asking a question. Just ask to play music, read the news, control a smart home, tell a joke, and more — Alexa will respond instantly.
