TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 15, 2018 — ASUS today announced VivoBook S13 (S330), the first ASUS laptop to feature the four-side frameless NanoEdge display that offers a remarkable 89% screen-to-body ratio for an immersive, near-borderless viewing experience.

Unrivaled immersion with the four-sided frameless NanoEdge display
VivoBook S13 is the first ASUS notebook to feature the new four-sided frameless NanoEdge display with super-thin top and side bezels that measure a mere 4.3mm. This results in an incredible 89% screen-to-body ratio for unrivaled immersion in a much more compact package. VivoBook S13 is one of the smallest 13.3-inch laptops in the market, since the NanoEdge design allows ASUS engineers to fit a 13-inch display into a typical 11-inch laptop chassis. The FHD panel includes wide-view technology and remarkable color reproduction for lifelike visuals, even when viewing the display from extreme positions. To complete the audiovisual experience, VivoBook S13 features ASUS SonicMaster technology for exceptional sound. A professional-grade codec ensures precise audio encoding and decoding, while amplifiers, larger speakers and resonance chambers perfectly tailored for VivoBook S13 ensure powerful audio delivery and deeper bass.
Small, yet powerful
