Powered by the latest 10th Gen Intel Core processors, featuring a four-sided NanoEdge displays with a new edge-to-edge keyboard design and ASUS NumberPad 2.0
KUALA LUMPUR, 11
August 2020 — ASUS Malaysia today announced the all-new ZenBook 13 (UX325) and ZenBook
14 (UX425), two new-generation 13.3-inch and 14-inch ultraportable laptops in
the ZenBook Classic series.
The ASUS ZenBook
13 and ZenBook 14 are even thinner and lighter than the previous generation. ZenBook
13 weighs just 1.07 kg and both models are a mere 13.9 mm thin, but uniquely
for such an ultrathin design they offer comprehensive I/O capabilities,
including full-size HDMI and USB Type-A ports in addition to Thunderbolt 3
USB-C and a microSD card reader. They are the world's thinnest 13.3-inch and
14-inch laptops to offer such comprehensive and versatile connectivity[1].
Compact
four-sided NanoEdge displays offer a 90% screen-to-body ratio for immersive
visuals. The user experience is also fully updated, featuring ASUS NumberPad
2.0, up to 22 hours battery life[2], a new edge-to-edge keyboard design, ErgoLift
hinge mechanisms, and IR cameras for fast face-recognition. ZenBook 13 and 14
are available in two sophisticated new colors, Pine Grey and Lilac Mist.
Powered by the
latest 10th Generation Intel Core processors with 8 GB RAM, the ASUS ZenBook 13
and ZenBook 14 make light work of multitasking, productivity and entertainment.
It also features 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs and the latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) to round
off the specification for a superb all-round performance.
Timeless beauty, effortless
portability
The latest ZenBook
Classic series offers two screen sizes. For the ultimate traveler, there’s the
ultralight 1.07 kg ZenBook 13; and for those who prefer a larger
screen, there’s the sleek ZenBook 14. Both models are designed for effortless
portability, with a compact and elegant all-metal chassis that's a mere 13.9 mm
thin.
The ASUS ZenBook
13 and 14 are also incredibly power efficient, with up to an amazing 22 hours
of battery life on a single charge, meaning that the charger can be left at
home for many trips to minimize weight and bulk. The ZenBook 13 and 14 are a
perfect match for today's on-the-go lifestyles.
The stylish new design of ZenBook 13 and 14 is
enhanced by two timeless new color options. Pine Grey is a glossy shade that is
calm and peaceful. It projects professional wisdom, and features a special
off-center version of the iconic ZenBook spun-metal finish. Lilac Mist conveys
a subtle touch of high-end luxury. Elegant and modern, charming and
sophisticated, this gorgeous matte shade is a perfect match for the classic
ZenBook spun-metal finish.
The ASUS ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14 redefine
what's possible in an ultrathin laptop: they are the world's thinnest laptops
in their class to offer uncompromised I/O capabilities. Both laptops are just
13.9 mm thin, but uniquely for their size still include 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 can 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. USB-C Easy Charge takes the frustration out of long
journeys or travel in locations with limited mains power.
Ergonomic design
ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14 have bright and
clear four-sided NanoEdge displays, with slim bezels that create an 90%
screen-to-body ratio for a more immersive viewing experience. An optional
low-power 1-watt display delivers an incredible 450 nits of brightness, while
maximizing battery life.
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 maximum typing comfort, the precision-engineered
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 productivity-enhancing
ASUS NumberPad 2.0. This is a dual-function touchpad with an integrated LED-illuminated
full-size numeric keypad: simply tapping the icon on the touchpad turns
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, so accessing ZenBook 13 and 14 is easier and faster
than ever in any environment.
Superb
performance
The ASUS 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, and they’re teamed with 8 GB
of high-speed RAM to help users blitz through daily tasks.
The laptops also have some of the fastest
solid-state storage available, with up to 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs that ensure
fast boot times and near-instant app loading. 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.
Whether working, creating, or simply enjoying entertainment,
the new ZenBook 13 and 14 make everything effortless.
MIL-STD 810G
Military-grade Reliability
The ASUS ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14 have been tested to meet the ultra-demanding
MIL-STD-810G U.S. military standard for reliability and durability. Tests
consisted of a punishing regime designed to ensure survival in harsh
environments, and included power-on drop tests and operation at extremes of
altitude and temperature. The ZenBook UX325/UX425 have also passed ASUS laptop
stress tests that far exceed the standards set by the industry.
