ASUS Unveils the ZENBOOK\u2122<\/h2>\n
Chairman Jonney Shih introduces the latest in ultra-portable notebook technology and design with the ASUS ZENBOOK\u2122 that features a perfect blend of elegance and power<\/em><\/p>\n Singapore (8 November, 2011)<\/strong> \u2015 ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih unveiled the long-anticipated ZENBOOK\u2122 that fuses masterpiece design and incredible performance at a global launch event in Manhattan, New York on October 11 2011 along with Intel Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sales and Marketing Group, Tom Kilroy. The \u201cUltra Era\u201d event opened with a vivid, yet tranquil dance to Moon Water featuring a performance artist from the internationally renowned Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan. The performance set the tone of the event, to display that the ASUS ZENBOOK\u2122 is designed to be effortlessly enjoyable without compromising on performance. It exudes the perfect balance of elegance and power in an Ultrabook.<\/p>\n Mr. Shih then introduced four key incredible principles that guided ASUS\u2019 development team during the ZENBOOK\u2122 design phase.<\/p>\n Pure Design \u2013 Art melds seamlessly with technology upon viewing the ASUS ZENBOOK\u2122. The silver exterior panel features a concentric circle design that refracts a halo of light that excites the senses. With a thickness of 0.11\u201d at the front and 0.35\u201d at the rear, the ZENBOOK\u2122\u2019s exterior lines are sleek, making it the thinnest Ultrabook on the market and perfect for users constantly on-the-go or in the classroom.<\/p>\n Unrivalled Performance<\/strong> \u2013 The ZENBOOK\u2122 is designed with an instant-on feature that resumes the system in about 2 seconds* and features incredible standby times up to 2 weeks*, which is four times more than the industry standard. Although svelte and sleek, the ZENBOOK\u2122 packs an impressive and uncompromising list of technological breakthroughs. It uses the latest Intel\u00ae 2nd generation Core\u2122 processors (optimized for mobile use), SATA Revision 3.0 solid state storage (SSD), Bluetooth\u2122 V4.0 and USB 3.0. ASUS has also added USB Charger+ technology, which uses the powered USB 3.0 port to recharge portable devices in a fraction of the time it would normally take. To accommodate all of these technologies, ASUS engineers designed custom cooling technology using a V-shaped channel with a unique copper fin design for improved airflow and cooling. When battery life dips below 5 percent, the ZENBOOK\u2122 will automatically save files in progress to prevent data loss.<\/p>\n Incredibly Green<\/strong> – The ZENBOOK\u2122 provides its users a peace of mind in knowing that they are consuming less energy. It utilizes ASUS\u2019 patented Super Hybrid Engine II technology, which intelligently conserves battery life and allows the ZENBOOK\u2122 to have up to 25% more battery life* than other Ultrabook designs.<\/p>\n Transcending Audio<\/strong> – Recognizing that an ultrabook is not only a tool for work, but also for entertainment, each ZENBOOK\u2122 is equipped with ASUS SonicMaster technology, an optimized fusion of hardware and software developed by the ASUS Golden Ear team and Bang & Olufsen ICEpower\u00ae. SonicMaster provides a wide sonic spectrum surround sound that can fill a room with smooth jazz or the tranquil sound of a mountain stream.<\/p>\n Leading Technology Partnership – Intel\u2019s Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sales and Marketing Group, Tom Kilroy, expressed his excitement that Intel contributed the incredible processor technology for ASUS\u2019s groundbreaking masterpiece.<\/p>\n \u201cToday\u2019s introduction of ASUS ZENBOOK\u2122 is a vivid proof that Ultrabooks are ushering in a fundamental transformation of personal computing,\u201d said Mr. Kilroy. \u201cIn the few months since Intel first unveiled this new type of device, ASUS has delivered an amazingly light design powered by the visibly smart performance of the second generation Intel Core i7 and Core i5 processors. It\u2019s packed with the security, responsiveness, and other exciting features, that deliver on the promise of the Ultrabook, to offer the most complete and satisfying computing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n ASUS ZENBOOK\u2122 UX21E<\/strong><\/p>\n CPU: Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i5-2467M \/ Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i7-2667M
