ASUS Zenbook achieves a unique combination of artistic craftsmanship and advanced technology. It arises from the efforts of a dedicated team of designers and engineers, working hard to deliver a portable PC that?s eminently cool, stylish and powerful, gifted with a harmony of great looks and potent features. The build and form factor of this Taiwanese creation is as good as Apple?s MacBook Air 13, which is seen as the epitome of ultra-slim and quality combined. The Zenbook is not just decently comparable to MacBook Air in build, but can any day give tough competition to the latter.
Now the features and efficiency. The switch to SSD drive ensures fast boot-up and fast wake up from sleep mode. Exclusive ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II with instant on enables 2-second resume of the notebook from sleep, with up to two weeks of standby time with open files and other pending data kept safe in memory. Plus, automatic data backup when the battery reaches 5% charge further helps secure your work. It not only keeps energy saving front and centre with a dedicated battery saving mode, but also conserves power whenever possible to increase battery life by as much as 25%. You are also always in the know when it comes to the battery thanks to ASUS PowerWiz, a utility that shows exactly how much charge is left per application?Web browsing, movie watching.
As mentioned before, the looks are to die for. Featuring a unibody metallic structure, Zenbook looks smooth with integrated and generous keyboard touchpad. The slim Zenbook has missed out on optical drive. But, ports have been generously endowed in it. It includes the regularly used USB 2.0 port, headphone, microphone jack, built-in card reader, mini VGA connection, micro HDMI port but also includes USB 3.0 port, a rarity in both MacBook air and Acer S3.
