ASUS Releases New Zenbook S14, Teases VivoBook S14 and ExpertBook P5

Growing a line of products and innovating at the same time must be hard for others, but not ASUS! Today we ventured to Silver city in Pasig as they showcased the newest version of ASUS ZenBook S14 and teased a few more like the ASUS VivoBook S14 and the ExpertBook P5.

ASUS SEA Regional Director Jimmy Lin says "We will lead innovation with ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen. We have won awards and excellence over our competitors. This year, we had the first CoPilot PC's, and today we are launching the ASUS ZenBook 14. This is the most advanced AI PC and the most stylish too. Perfect for users on the go with the Ceraluminum material and premium look. This utilizes AI, and the newest generation of Intel processors apt for the laptop."

This is a new standard for AI innovation and design. Rachelle Lozares of ASUS Consumer PC adds "The ASUS ZenBook S14 is our most elegant AI powered machine, available in Zumaia Gray that mimics thin rock layers and crafted with Ceraluminum. It's very hard, tough, but very lightweight and designed timelessly. This would be a good choice for a long time investment. ZenBook's are not created the same, it's one of our thinnest at 1.1 cm., and weighs 1.2 kg with the best I/o inputs in the market. This is ultra portable but last up to 27 hours. It can also be charged 60 percent in a few minutes, using your power bank. This also utilizes Intel Core Ultra 7, very efficient and can perform with 32GB RAM because who doesn't want to multi task. It's stylish and professional, a dedicated AI chip and ASUS apps so you can have more time to do other things "

The ZenBook has a dedicated CoPilot key so you can easily access its features, faster and better than ever before. You can simply ask for things, like recall, Co Creator, Live Captions and Studio Effects. It also has Automatic Super Resolution for better graphics when you need to render or do games in your off times.

The ASUS Vivobook S14 on the other hand is more portable, made even slimmer, has advanced cooling, more I/o ports and made for productivity. It uses proprietary Ice Cool Technology, RGB keyboards and looks so stylish.

The ASUS ExpertBook P5 is designed for professionals who needs more of everything. It can make you work smarter, faster, in an aluminum body. With an Intel Core Ultra Processor, it can be powerful for all those apps and functions you need to do simultaneously. This uses Copilot PC, the most intelligent Windows PC ever. This has an immersive AI Expert Meet which can do meetings across all ExpertBook P5 devices in your network, this is the future of meeting technology in this category.

The new ASUS ZenBook S14 is priced at Php 109,995 , while the ASUS Vivobook S14 and the ASUS ExpertBook P5 price is going to be announced separately late this year. This comes with warranty, Microsoft 365 subscription and Windows office.

Though it looks pricey, you must count the inclusions and the trust you get from owning a unit from ASUS. It's an investment and certainly, a good one you could utilize for school, work or creativity. The thin profile, bigger workload it could do is well worth it! 

ASUS Launches Incredibly Slim 2023 Zenbook Laptops

Took the hot trip to ASUS Philippines recent event as they take innovation up a notch once again with the newest #IncrediblySlim Zenbook laptops. No question on the power and specs (I own one that's a few years old and swear by it), but the changes in these new line made me wonder, how do they make it ultra thin and light like this? Imagine, only a centimeter thick and about a kilogram... that's a lot different from laptops a few years back.

That's not all, because as soon as they put them into a smaller, thinner and lighter form factor, they made it with less impact in the environment with sustainability in mind (both on product and packaging). I love it when they take the step further. During the event, they revealed the new Zenbook S 13 OLED (UX5304), the Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (UP3404) and Zenbook Pro 14 OLED (UX6404). These are three new laptops made really slim, fit for those who would need to carry it around (students and professionals), or travel to a different place/country.

The new technology starts with its ASUS Lumina OLED Display which gives users an excellent visual experience for work and play.  Just like its recent predecessors, it's set to higher contrast and deeper blacks. It's also got 70 percent less blue light which means you'll get less eye strain if used for long hours. 

The Zenbook S13 OLED (UX5304) is also the thinnest in the world. It also uses recycled materials for the packaging and parts. They've managed to reduce the carbon footprint  to 50 percent in its production. Out of the box, it is equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor, has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage.

The Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (UP3404) on the other hand is a work of art. It's got a body capable of doing a 360 degree fold hence the name. You can treat it as a laptop, a stand, tent or a tablet just by flipping it around. Imagine the things you could do with it especially if you need to present, small gatherings, meetings, things that could make life easier for you without lugging around a huge projector for it. I've seen it first hand and among the products released today, I had my eye on this because it could make sharing content easy especially for school or work. It also comes with an ASUS Pen that would get your drawing sessions, sketching, writing and pressing buttons quite easy than usual. It also uses the same processor, memory and storage as the previous one.

The Zenbook Pro 14 OLED (UX6404) on the other hand already impressed a lot of people, giving it a respectable award, the 2023 Red Dot Product design. The difference is the graphics hardware which uses an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. It's built for creators, uses the ASUS DialPad for Adobe Creative Software. Running programs and rendering would probably cause heat but no worries, it's got ASUS IceCool Pro thermal technology that would take good care of that. It also has a dedicated MUX Switch to make sure resources for your laptop would be sufficient for your graphics work, or a few rounds of third person shooting games that it could accommodate during your leisure time. We might have to ask for a review unit soon so I could play around with it, I bet it'll be a remarkable piece of technology. If you want to know more, just head on to ASUS Philippines social channels and their main website just by searching the model numbers we were discussing today. I'm sure it'll impress you too!

IT FOLDS: ASUS Announces Availability of Zenbook 17 Fold OLED Laptop

If you haven't seen it, then it's time you do. This is the new ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED laptop. This is the world's very first foldable ultra compact and light OLED laptop that can fit in 17.3 inch boxes and used in different modes. Absolutely stunning to see in person.

It utilizes it's huge 2560x1920 4:3 ratio foldable OLED touchscreen, Intel Core i7 1250OU processor, 16GB LPDDR5, 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, Intel Iris Xe Graphics loaded with Windows 11 Home OS and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2021 edition. It's pretty packed for something very light and amazing, I could imagine this being used by executives, content creators and just about anyone who is in the marketing field. It transforms the whole length into a screen so those presentations would certainly be covered if you get this new machine.

George Su the ASUS Philippines Country Manager says "We are excited to be here with you in person. Over 30 years ago ASUS started in a rooftop of an apartment and then went into manufacturing motherboards in Taiwan. ASUS ZENBOOK carries the design philosophy of over 30 years of innovation. The number 1 OLED laptop brand nationwide, we continue to push boundaries of creating a laptop. We consistently remodel the gaming arena and now we are the number 1 gaming brand in the Philippines and the world." 

ASUS Expert Series is part of ASUS Business. This includ e the ZenBook, VivoBook, and today they introduced a lot of innovations including the world's first 17 inch OLED Laptop. It's got 6 modes of use and it would fit your lifestyle.

Kyle Hubo says "It is innovative, has Mobility and is setting new industry standards as the first OLED display that has got HDR OLED giving you blur free photos, videos, best in class colors, 70 percent less blue light , extreme contrast plus a quad speaker system. It is practical and reliable. You can use it on laptop mode, portrait mode, landscape mode tablet mode, reader mode, or others. If you want to share ideas, use the kick stand, unfold it for others to see. The 17.3 inch screen would be good especially on extended mode as you can work and watch without closing windows on full screen. The keyboard and touchpad knows when it's attached, so it would be easy to go in and out, switch devices just by pressing Bluetooth buttons on its keyboard. This is also military grade and is built to last. The Core i7, 4K display, and easy to charge via USB-C option will make this one of the most wanted products this year!"

The Glide X cross device screen sharing solution also works on this device. It's free and proprietary, so those photoshoots will certainly be easy for photographers or creative people.

They also showcased the new creator series and told us how it could make our content creation journey easier if you've got a powerful machine. Aside from that, they also announced new promos including a 23,000 worth of products and devices that would come free in every purchase of the ASUS Fold OLED, plus one from Home Credit wherein you can get the device at 0% interest in 12 months payment scheme. Albeit a little pricey, it's understandable because of the new technology we're seeing now. At Php 219,999, it's only going to be sold in the Philippines at 100 units. Things may run out fast so if you're interested, get it from the ASUS official website at asus.com/ph/laptops/for-home/all-series/zenbook-17-fold-oled-ux9702/ 

Glad to tell you about this :)
