Designed for ultimate comfort

For outstanding ergonomics, Zenbook S incorporates the new ErgoLift hinge mechanism, an innovative design that raises and tilts the keyboard by 5.5° — the optimum angle for comfortable typing. With a maximum opening angle of 145°, Zenbook S opens wider than most laptops too, so users have more freedom to choose the best screen angle. And when Zenbook S is closed, the ErgoLift mechanism is completely hidden, so it doesn't affect the sleek profile.

When the ErgoLift hinge mechanism tilts the keyboard, it also creates an important extra ventilation space that allows more airflow around the underside of the chassis. With this improved ventilation, Zenbook S keeps its cool even when under heavy load.

The extra space underneath Zenbook S created by the ErgoLift hinge also allows the powerful Harmon Kardon audio system to work at its best, delivering clearer sound with improved bass response

Powerful hardware and high resolution display

Zenbook S is built to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. The latest up to 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor, up to 16GB of fast 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM and up to a 1TB PCIe® 3.0 x4 SSD allow users to enjoy smooth and responsive performance whatever they're doing. For maximum sustained performance, Zenbook S uses an updated 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.

Zenbook S is fitted with an up to 4K UHD NanoEdge touchscreen with a wide 100% sRGB 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.

The NanoEdge slim-bezel display and premium materials allow the reduction of every dimension and weight to the minimum, creating a masterpiece of ultraportable design. The Zenbook S also features the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on the lid, a design unique to Zenbook.

The ultimate ultraportable

Seasoned travelers will appreciate the way Zenbook S, with its 12.9mm thin, 1kg light all-metal unibody, slips effortlessly into any bag. 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 transfer and display connectivity. And for desktop-grade connectivity, users can simply connect the handy ASUS Mini Dock. ASUS Mini Dock and a computer sleeve is included with all Zenbook S in Norway.

Zenbook S is not only sophisticated and elegant, but it's incredibly tough too, it meets the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability, undergoing a punishing test regime that includes extended tests for operation in harsh environments including extreme altitudes, temperatures and humidity.
