Sleek UltrabookTM looks
The first thing to stand out about the S Series is the 21mm profile, a remarkable achievement considering the amount of technology within. In terms of finish and styling, it employs grey-colored hairline treatment on covers, with a one-piece molded top casing that helps ensure greater product strength and durability in highly mobile scenarios. The overall design embodies subtlety and sophistication, while crafted to accommodate a diverse range of applications and customer lifestyles.
Innovating in user comfort and access
For more intuitive and easier input, the S Series offers a large touchpad enhanced with Smart Gesture technology, which supports a wider range of touch gestures including two-finger zooming, rotating, and scrolling, as well as three-finger swiping. The keyboard likewise uses premium back-assembled construction and a stylish chiclet design, resulting in a solid and more satisfying typing experience.
Ultra sound incorporated
Exclusive ASUS SonicMaster Lite audio provides better sound performance in every application, including music, movie watching, and gaming. Audio comes across clearer, cleaner and more powerful, thanks to improved processing and high-grade speakers.
Power and swift response
ASUS has integrated exclusive 2-second instant on functionality on the S Series based on Super Hybrid Engine II proprietary technology, allowing customers to get back to work and enjoyment with smartphone-like responsiveness. Data is kept safe with automatic backup should the battery drop below 5% charge. At the heart of the S Series are 3rd generation Intel® CoreTM processors up to an i5. This enables smooth multimedia, faster overall daily computing performance, and even gaming in impressive detail.
