ASUS moves up with their latest technological innovation with the all new premium ZenBook 3 Deluxe series. To celebrate the launch of ASUS’ most premium laptop to date, the company collaborated with Rajo Laurel, one of the country’s most esteemed fashion designers in a versatile gender bender fashion show at the Shangri-La at the Fort. Present during the event was the company’s newest ambassador, Isabelle Daza. MAC Cosmetics served as the official makeup sponsor for the fashion show.
The ZenBook 3 Deluxe (UX490) promises a more powerful variety of the premium ZenBook 3, the world’s most prestigious laptop. An all-aluminum laptop that is 12.9mm thin, weighing less than 1kg in a 13-inch-class chassis, is gilded by a 14-inch ultra-narrow-bezel display—a balance between productivity and portability. With its bewitching design, its dual phase-anodized unibody is finished in two nature-inspired shades: Royal Blue and Quartz Grey. The laptop features the quintessential Zen-inspired spun-metal finish, etched with the signature ZenBook 3 series golden edge highlights and unique golden ASUS lid logo. Added to that is a heavenly quad-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and loudness-enhancing smart amplifier that delivers a sound like no other.
Place it besides Laurel’s pieces, both represents a distinct and world-class workmanship and an artisan quality that brings beauty, sophistication, and elegance. Committed to empowerment and innovation, the sensibilities of ASUS ZenBook and Rajo Laurel’s works are always meant to be admired as a masterpiece of its class.
Versatile More Than Ever
Pushing the envelope is their guiding design philosophy Never Compromise, the ZenBook 3 Deluxe possesses a meticulous attention to detail that deserves recognition. Its impeccable curves are carved from a single block of premium aerospace-grade aluminum alloy – 50% stronger than standard alloy – that undergoes a 40-step process to create the iconic ultra-fine-spun-metal finish with its argent and silky sheen. Afterwards, a complex two-phase anodizing process is then used to create the elegant golden diamond-cut edges and unique golden ASUS lid logo.
Transcended Performance
and perfects it even more by using only but the best in terms of components: 7th Generation Intel Core i7-7500U with 16GB of 2133MHz ultra-fast, power-saving LPDDR3 memory.
Engraved in ZenBook 3 series’ DNA is unprecedented performance, whereas ZenBook 3 Deluxe transcends this characteristic with its latest 7th Generation Intel Core processor, up to 16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM and an up to 1TB PCIe® 3.0 x4 SSD that is three times (3X) faster than SATA SSDs–one of the largest capacity SSDs available.
Meanwhile, its expanded auxiliaries include two USB Type-C™ (USB-C™) ports that are Thunderbolt™ 3-enabled with support for 40Gbps data-transfer speeds — twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2 and eight times (8X) faster than USB 3.0. The ports also support enhanced graphics options for dual 4K UHD external displays .A special high-capacity 46Wh lithium-polymer battery, shaped to fit precisely into its incredibly thin profile, gives ZenBook 3 Deluxe up to 10 hours battery life for all-day mobility.
This performance feat is made possible by the genius of the ASUS engineers who invented a brand-new cooling system that is just 3mm high, allowing the warm air from the interior to be gently expelled via hidden vents in the hinge. The overall design allows for efficient and placid cooling — even under full loads.
Refined Sights and Sound
The mesmerizing 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display packs loads of durability with its edge-to-edge layer of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, with an ultra-narrow bezel that gives the ZenBook 3 Deluxe an impressive 77% screen-to-body ratio. ASUS exclusive display technologies provides a visual feast to any user with their ASUS Tru2life Video. It is a 100% sRGB color gamut and TV-grade 1000:1 contrast ratio with a remarkable real-time video enhancement technology delivering a 200% contrast improvement and pin-point sharpness.
For an awesome audio experience, the ASUS Golden Ear team cooperated with audio specialists Harman Kardon to produce the next Generation of ASUS SonicMaster Premium audio technology. ZenBook 3 Deluxe has an array of four separate high-quality speakers designed to deliver true surround-sound that envelops the user with cinema-quality audio. A special four-channel smart amplifier ensures the maximum volume from the speakers with zero distortion, for powerful, clear immersive sound.
Superb Ergonomics
Designed with the needs and wants of mobile professionals in mind, the ZenBook 3 Deluxe features an edge-to-edge keyboard with full-size keys and an improved 1.2mm key travel, golden color-backlight for the Royal Blue model for improved illumination.
The touchpad supports Windows Precision Touchpad (WPT) technology, includes palm-rejection, multi-touch gestures and handwriting support. A fingerprint sensor that supports Windows Hello, for a more secure authentication in compatible apps and programs.
With all said and done, the ZenBook 3 Deluxe outshines its predecessor and elevates itself to a class like no other, making it the world’s most prestigious laptop.
ASUS Offering More Premium Zenbook Notebooks
ASUS today also announced the ZenBook UX430 and UX530, stylish thin-and-light laptops with large slim-bezel displays in an ultra-compact form factor for a better productivity. They are also the thinnest-ever ZenBook models to feature high-performance discrete graphics.
ASUS Philippines Systems Group Country Manager George Su proudly comments: “The Zenbook 3 Deluxe, Zenbook UX430 and UX530 are the newest addition to the premium Zenbook family – and I am incredibly proud of ASUS notebook’s market performance over the past few years in the Philippines.”
“Intel and ASUS have been working together for nearly three decades to deliver premium computing experiences. As the notebook segment continues to innovate globally and locally, we at ASUS are excited to collaborate more with our industry partners to create match-made-in-heaven devices that will push innovation forward for incredible new experiences.” Su concludes.
