ASUS Announces New ZenBook and VivoBook Notebooks, Project Precog Future PC Concept and VivoWatch BP healthcare wearable at Computex 2018

Fremont, CA (June 5, 2018) - ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih today hosted a press event at Computex 2018, unveiling all-new products, including ZenBook Pro 15 and ZenBook Pro 14 with the revolutionary ScreenPad input device, the triple-award-winning ZenBook S, a full lineup of VivoBook notebooks, and the VivoWatch BP wearable blood-pressure monitor. The press event also included a special sneak peek at Project Precog, a brand-new concept device and the world's first convertible dual-screen notebook equipped with artificial intelligence features. The dual-screen form factor is designed to provide versatility and powerful productivity, and a full set of AI features, including AI Touch and AI Charging, deliver a completely evolved user experience.

“Over the last three decades, ASUS has focused on delivering meaningful innovations to market as well as refining every meticulous detail to perfect the computing experience,” said Mr. Shih. “We aspire to bring out the best in everyone by helping them unleash their creative power with beauty, performance, innovation and state-of-the-art technology including AI.”

Joining Chairman Shih on stage to talk about the two companies’ heritage and, now, future propelling laptop innovation was Chris Walker, Intel Vice President of Client Computing Group: “When we redefined laptop computing in 2011 with the launch of Ultrabook, ASUS responded first by delivering an inspired ZenBook that was thin, stylish and powerful. We and our ecosystem partners have imagined and invented with clarity before and, with today’s launch of the new ASUS ZenBook Pro series with interactive ScreenPad, I’m proud to say we’re doing it again.”

Microsoft Vice President, Partner Devices and Solutions, Paul Donovan was also onstage to talk about AI and the future of notebook innovation. “ASUS continues to push the boundaries of innovation to bring Windows customers exciting new experiences on thin and modern PC devices. These new VivoBook and ZenBook models are slim and stylish, and the new ZenBook Pro 15 with ScreenPad gives people a new way to interact with entertainment and productivity apps, such as Skype, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Edge.”

New VivoBook models include VivoBook S15 (S530) and VivoBook S14 (S430), a pair of stylish and lightweight notebooks available in a choice of five vibrant colors and several textured finishes.
