Asus at its Zenvolution event at Humble House Taipei on Monday unveiled new products in its laptop and tablet portfolio - namely, the ZenBook 3, Transformer 3 Pro, and Transformer 3. All three are Windows 10 devices. The event also saw the launch of the ZenFone 3 smartphone series.
Starting with the ZenBook 3, Asus says it is thinner than the MacBook Air, yet faster than the MacBook. It features the world's thinnest fan at 3mm, and has an 82 percent screen to body ratio. It features a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 panel, and is claimed to have a 9-hour battery life that's coupled with quick charging - 60 percent charge can be achieved in 49 minutes. It will be available in Royal Blue, Quartz Grey, Rose Gold colours, and features a gold-backlit keyboard with twice the key travel of the MacBook.
The ZenBook 3 (UX390) with an 12.5-inch display, Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB PCIe x4 SSD is priced at $1,999. The Core i5 variant, with 4GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD is priced at $999. It weighs in at 910 grams, measures 11.9mm in thickness, and sports a fingerprint reader.
Coming to the Asus Transformer 3 Pro (T303) - the company says the laptop-tablet hybrid is thinner than Surface Pro 4, at 8.35mm. It features Harman Kardon audio with dual-front speakers that are supposedly four times as loud as the Surface Pro 4.
Asus Transformer 3 Pro's top model specifications include 12.6-inch (2880x1920 pixels) display, up to Intel Core i7 processors, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB SSD, 13-megapixel rear camera, Thunderbolt 3, full size USB 3.0 port, USB 3.0 ports, and full size HDMI port. The hybrid will launch alongside a mobile hub accessory (Asus Universal Dock) for all other ports. A stylus with 1,024 pressure levels, a Bluetooth speaker accessory for quad speaker surround, and an external Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card are also available. The Transformer 3 Pro starts at $999 including keyboard and stylus pen.
