Fusion of Tech & Design
Providing both function and aesthetic, the Zenbook S 14 comes in Zumia Grey and its design is built with high-tech Ceramic, Ceraluminum™. Ceraluminum™ uses the same high-tech luxury material and offers the best of both worlds: the lightness and hardness of ceramic along with the malleability of metal–at just 1.1cm thin and 1.2 kg light–making it ASUS’ slimmest 14” AI PC. This industry‑first innovation, using the ceramisation process, through plasma electrolytic oxidation, joins these two materials with incredible strength, offering unmatched scratch resistance and longevity.
Our C part employs the Unibody integrated moulding process, which is meticulously crafted with precise CNC machining. The finely carved heat dissipation perforations deliver a fusion of technological artistry as the users open their laptops.
Drawing inspiration from natural structure, ASUS designers reimagined the device’s air vents, with the new 3D-lattice ventilation grille design. This innovative design ensures a seamless flow of air and better heat dissipation.
The latest ASUS Enlarged touchpad is engineered to enable an unrivalled input experience that’s in harmony with how you move, feel and scroll. With a 20% noise reduction on the touchpad than previous ASUS generations, the ASUS 2024 new touchpad will adopt the technology of silence; providing users with a quiet environment when everyone uses the laptop and delivering a comfortable, quiet, and responsive clicking experience.
