Creative Power


Zenbook Pro 17 delivers performance for all-day, every-day creativity and productivity with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX Mobile processor that's optimized for high performance per watt, and which provides exceptional multitasking performance. Zenbook Pro 17 uses less power than previous-gen processors for some workloads, making the most of the battery while delivering effortless productivity. ASUS IceCool Plus thermal technology enables maximum cooling for the best performance at all times.

For the ultimate creative power, Zenbook Pro 17 is leveled up with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 discrete graphics. This GPU brings a new level of performance to creative apps, so users can unleash their creativity at any time.

Up to a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD and the latest WiFi 6E enable fast storage, wait-free app loads and smooth connectivity, and Zenbook Pro 17 is also packed with all the I/O ports needed for easy connectivity to devices and peripherals. The dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports support fast charging and 4K external displays, and there’s also an HDMI 2.0 port and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports alongside a standard SD card reader. Communications and audio I/O are taken care of by the convenient audio combo jack.

Ultra-responsive Display


Designed for creators who need the largest possible visual workspace and ultra-smooth visuals, Zenbook Pro 17 is the first ever Zenbook with a 17.3-inch display. It has up to a 16:9 2.5K (2560 x 1440) 165 Hz IPS NanoEdge Dolby Vision touchscreen with a fast 6 ms response time that offers an all-new visual experience.

The cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut ensures ultra-vivid colors, and the slim-bezel four-sided NanoEdge design maximizes screen space with a minimum footprint. Whether it's for visual content creation, immersive streaming or fast on-screen action, Zenbook Pro 17 delivers. Enhanced eye-care is provided by the TÜV Rheinland-certified low blue-light emissions.

User-centric design


User-centric design is a signature feature of the Zenbook series and it features a precision-engineered, 180° ErgoLift hinge that tilts the rear of the laptop slightly when opened to make typing more comfortable. The lay-flat design also makes it easy to share content with others, or collaborate around a table.

The ASUS ErgoSense keyboard and ErgoSense touchpad are engineered to enable an unrivaled input experience, where the keyboard has an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision. Scrolling on the extra-large 150 x 90 mm ErgoSense touchpad is just like touching silk. Its surface has a special low-friction coating that’s also fingerprint resistant, keeping the work area as clean as new.

For easy one-touch, password-free login with Windows Hello, there's a convenient fingerprint sensor on the power button. Dedicated function keys allow users to turn the webcam and microphone on or off for instant privacy.

A webcam with ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR), a four-element lens and a large camera sensor allow ultrafast face login and significantly upgraded image processing capabilities, when compared to the previous generation. Participants will be able to see the user more clearly than ever during video conference calls, even in darker environments. ASUS Noise-Cancelation Technology ensures crystal-clear audio in conference calls, especially with the Multi-Presenter Conference Call mode in the MyASUS app. With this smart feature enabled, MyASUS detects and optimizes the individual voices before relaying them all at the same volume level — ensuring improved quality for group calls.
