There’s not a gram of material in ZenBook S that doesn’t need to be there: the compact NanoEdge display and premium materials allowed us to reduce every dimension and weight to the minimum, making it thinner and lighter than its rivals for effortless portability. And — in our humble opinion, at least — it’s infinitely more beautiful, too!

Despite its incredibly slim profile, ZenBook S packs a real punch. It’s crammed with an array of high-performance components, including the very latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor and up to 16GB of RAM, which help it to easily outperform its rivals in benchmark tests.

Our amazing NanoEdge display technology just keeps evolving, and in ZenBook S we’ve made the already-slim bezel even slimmer to give you more display in the smallest space possible. With a higher screen-to-body ratio, there’s less distracting bezel for more immersive visuals.

With 331 pixels per inch, everything on the NanoEdge display is pin-sharp: from the finest details in photos and videos, to the tiniest text fonts. It’s a dream come true for anyone who needs the ultimate visual performance.

ZenBook S incorporates ASUS Wi-Fi Master technology, so you’ll enjoy faster and more reliable Wi-Fi connections at greater distances than ever before. This exclusive technology brings you the full benefit of the up-to-12x-faster, MU-MIMO-capable dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi in ZenBook S, with speeds of up to 1734Mbps⁵. With Wi-Fi Master, you can enjoy streaming FHD YouTube videos at distances of up to 300 meters or even more. And even when you’re using USB 3 devices — which can cause wireless interference — you can still stream smoothly when you’re up to 225 meters or more⁵ away from your router, 65 meters farther than on standard laptops without the benefit of Wi-Fi Master!¹⁰ Additionally, the MU-MIMO capability¹¹ means you can experience 3x-faster Wi-Fi performance in multi-device environments. Combined with the latest Bluetooth® 5.0 that lets you connect your favorite devices with less impact on battery life, ZenBook S gives you the freedom to do whatever you need, wherever you want to!

Cortana is your voice-controlled digital personal assistant, and the far-field capability of the powerful microphone array on ZenBook S means you can interact reliably from further away — up to 4 meters away even in noisy environments like a kitchen or living room.

With Modern Standby in Windows 10, ZenBook S is always ready to go in an instant — just like your smartphone! When resuming from sleep mode, Windows 10 wakes in under a second — 3x faster than before⁵. Modern Standby also lets you continue to get updates and notifications — or even play audio — even when the laptop is in sleep mode.

Attention to every useful detail is a key part of the ASUS design philosophy. We’ve introduced an evolutionary new way of using the humble Fn key to access your laptop’s features, such as the volume or display brightness. In the past, you’d press the Fn key first to use these features: now, the function keys operate the advanced features by default. If you want to access the standard function keys (F1-F12) simply use the Fn key combination.
