    The coolest of cool

    The challenge in designing a fast, ultra-thin laptop boils down to basic physics. To prevent the laptop from getting too hot, warm air inside needs to be expelled as quickly as possible. For the mighty Intel® Core™ i7 processor in ZenBook 3 Deluxe, ASUS engineers had to invent a brand-new cooling system using state-of-the-art components, including a liquid-crystal-polymer fan impeller that’s just 0.3mm thick and a copper-alloy heat pipe with walls that are a mere 0.1mm thick. This innovative cooling system is just 3mm high. Through it, warm air from the interior is gently expelled via hidden vents in the hinge. The overall design allows for efficient, serenely quiet cooling — even under full loads.

    Less wait, more work

    A high-performance solid-state disk with a PCIe® 3.0 x4 interface gives ZenBook 3 Deluxe the fastest storage available — its 1845MB/s read speeds are more than twice as fast as the storage in a MacBook® — so you’ll never be kept waiting for the operating system to boot or for applications to load. With no moving parts, SSDs are not only blindingly fast — they’re also incredibly reliable and totally silent.

    Fastest memory, best multitasking

    Striving to deliver ultimate performance in the ZenBook 3 Deluxe, engineers chose the world’s fastest LPDDR3 RAM — clocked at an amazing 2133MHz. Despite its speed, LPDDR3 memory uses very little power, helping to keep ZenBook 3 Deluxe running for longer. And with up to 16GB RAM, your ZenBook 3 Deluxe will handle multiple demanding tasks without skipping a beat.

    Runs longer, charges faster

    A laptop as beautiful, powerful and prestigious as ZenBook 3 Deluxe deserves nothing less than all-day battery life. To achieve its remarkable up to 9-hour autonomy, ASUS engineers designed a special high-capacity 46Wh lithium-polymer battery that fits precisely into the impossibly thin profile of the ZenBook 3 Deluxe. With its fast-charge technology, you can charge it up to 60% capacity in just 49 minutes.

    Batteries, redesigned

    ZenBook 3 Deluxe uses lithium-polymer batteries that last up to 700 charge cycles — 3x the lifespan of standard lithium-ion cylinder batteries. The batteries are precisely shaped in all three dimensions to fit exactly in the available space. This clever engineering allows us to give ZenBook 3 Deluxe a generous 46Wh battery capacity. Lithium-polymer batteries also retain up to 80% of their original capacity even after hundreds of charge cycles, so you don’t have to worry about deteriorating battery performance.

    Ergonomic backlit keyboard

    The world’s best ultraportable laptop deserves a unique keyboard. The full-size, custom-designed keyboard in ZenBook 3 Deluxe has an impressive 1.2mm key travel for maximum typing comfort. A colored backlight — golden for the Royal Blue model, white for the Quartz Grey version — gently illuminates the keys to give you maximum productivity in any lighting conditions.
