Discrete Graphics

Due to their limited internal space, many ultrathin laptops use integrated graphics chips that share system memory and offer only a basic level of performance. ZenBook 13 is the world's thinnest laptop with discrete graphics*, using a separate high-performance NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 chip with its own dedicated video memory. This gives ZenBook 13 effortless photo- and video-editing capabilities and fast, ultra-smooth gaming performance.
Advanced graphics performance
ZenBook 13 uses a high-performance NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 discrete graphics chip — with its own dedicated video memory — that delivers up to a 4X performance boost* over standard integrated graphics chips that share part of the main system RAM. So whether you want to edit photos, render videos or play the latest demanding games, ZenBook 13 delivers a smooth, flawless experience — in stunning visual quality.
