With four-sided frameless NanoEdge display, ZenBook 13 is smaller than a sheet of A4 paper and the ZenBook 14 is about the same as an A4 sheet. ZenBook 13 is also 14.3% smaller than the previous generation ZenBook 13 (UX331), making it an amazing 25% smaller than the 13-inch 2016 ZenBook UX330,

    NanoEdge display

    The latest Asus ZenBook 13/14/15 notebooks comes with Patent-pending innovations for the new frameless NanoEdge display panel. Without compromising on the camera placement, Asus has managed cut the frame size from all the 4 corners.

    Exclusive New NumberPad

    Most of the 13-inch and 14 inch notepads does not come with exclusive NumberPad. In order to solve this problem, Asus has integrated LED-illuminated numeric keypad integrated into the touchpad. Tapping a single touch sensor at the top right of the touchpad turns NumberPad on and off. While the numberpad is enabled, trackpad functions as usual which includes all gestures.

    New ultrathin webcam

    To accomodate camera at the top bezel location, Asus used ultrathin camera module, with a four-element lens to produce sharper images and lower noise. Additionally, the advanced infrared (IR) camera on the new ZenBook Flip series has see-in-the-dark capabilities that enable fast, reliable hands-free face login with Windows Hello — even in dim environments. From wake-up to login only takes a few seconds.
