Timeless beauty, Effortless portability

The latest ZenBook Classic series offers two screen sizes. There’s the ultralight ZenBook 13 for the ultimate travelers and the Zenbook 14 for those who prefer a larger screen. Both models are designed for effortless portability and a compact and elegant all-metal chassis that’s a mere 13.9 mm thin. ZenBook 13 and 14 are also power-efficient and a perfect match for today’s on-the-go lifestyle.

The stylish new design of ZenBook 13 and 14 is enhanced by two new timeless color options. Pine Grey is a glossy shade that professionally stands out and features a special off-center version of the iconic ZenBook spun-metal finish. Lilac Mist embodies a subtle touch of high-end luxury with its elegant and modern matte shade. A great match for the classic ZenBook spun-metal finish.

VivoBookS15 also includes stickers featuring unique designs and phrases that harmonize with each of the four different VivoBookcolors, allowing younger users to further personalize their VivoBook.

Unrivaled I/O

ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14 are the thinnest laptops in their class to offer uncompromised I/O capabilities. Both laptops are just 13.9 mm thin but uniquely for its size it still includes full-size HDMI and USB Type-A ports, two high-speed Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, and a microSD card reader for easy mobile data transfer. No other current 13.3-inch or 14-inch laptop offers all these I/O ports in such a thin design.

The two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports — with their convenient any-way-up connectors — support fast charging, up to two 4K UHD external displays for an expanded visual workspace, and up to 40 Gbps data speeds for ultrafast file transfers.

ZenBook 13 and 14 also support the new ASUS USB-C Easy Charge feature⁵, which allows them to be conveniently charged from a wide range of standard USB-C chargers. USB-C Easy Charge allows users to enjoy ultrafast charging with any USB-C Power Delivery-certified charger, such as the bundled 65-watt charger, or charge at slower rates when wall sockets are unavailable using airline chargers, portable chargers or power banks.

Ergonomic Design

ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14 have bright and clear four-sided NanoEdge displays, with slim bezels that create a 90% screen-to-body ratio for a more immersive viewing experience.

The new edge-to-edge ergonomic keyboard design increases the size of the keyboard for a more comfortable typing experience. It also creates space for an extra set of useful function keys at the right-hand side of the keyboard. For typing comfort, the ErgoLift hinge automatically tilts the keyboard to the optimum typing angle when the lid is opened. This action also creates space under the laptop for extra cooling airflow.

For easy data entry, there’s the ASUS NumberPad 2.0, which is a dual-function touchpad with an integrated LED-illuminated full-size numeric keypad. Simply tapping the icon on the touchpad turns the NumberPad on and off.

An integrated infrared (IR) camera located on the top bezel makes password-free face login fast and easy with Windows Hello. It also works in dim lighting conditions, which makes accessing the ZenBook 13 and 14 easier and faster in various settings.

Superb Performance

ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14 harness the power of the latest 10th Generation Intel Core processors — all the way up to the Core i7 series. These processors deliver faster, smoother, and more responsive performance than the previous generation. They are paired with up to 8 GB of high-speed RAM to help users do their daily tasks.

The laptops also have some of the fastest solid-state storage available, with up to 512GB PCIe® 3.0 x4 SSDs. With the latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) users can enjoy wireless speeds that are up to 3X faster than WiFi 5, with 4X more network capacity and up to 75% lower latency.
