The new ZENBOOK lineup welcomes the UX303LA and UX303LN, both featuring an Intel® Core™ i7 processor within an ultra-sleek smoky brown chassis that measures only 0.7 inch thin, which is further enhanced by the iconic spun-metal finish that echoes the spirit of Zen.

The UX303LN in particular, packs not only the high-performance Intel® Core™ i7 processor but also features a NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 840M graphics for silky smooth performance. The UX303LN also features a Quad HD+ IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 3200×1800 that is 5 times higher than an HD display, delivering stunning lifelike visuals with a wide 170 degree viewing angle. ASUS’ exclusive SonicMaster audio, which incorporates ICEpower®, Bang & Olufsen technology, also delights the ears with incredible sound.

We are very excited to launch the ZENBOOK UX303 in North America with a starting price point of $899,” says James Melendez, Director of Sales at ASUS Computer International, “we see consumers expressing higher and higher interest in these ultra-slim touchscreen devices and we want to make sure that we deliver the same premium experience with the performance they need, at a more affordable price point.

With all-flash solid-state disk storage, the UX303 offers not only a 360 degree ultra-fast computing experience, but also battery life that goes up to 7 hours on a single charge. Ultrabooks are made for users on-the-go, and the new UX303LA and UX303LN are the perfect devices that gets that job done and will never slow the user down.
