Introduction Just when you thought the ASUS ZenBook range couldn’t get any better … it

just did. The iconic design, supermodel-slim aluminium chassis and vibrant

screen have been teamed with Intel’s latest sixth-generation processors, the

Skylake family, to create a family of notebooks that combines beauty, brains

and brawn, whether you’re using it at home, at work, at school, at university or

out and about It’s bound to turn heads.

The latest additions to the multi award-winning ZenBook family are the

UX305CA and the UX305UA. Combining craftsmanship with leading-edge

technology, the new ZenBooks offer a choice of configurations to make a

gorgeous addition to your lifestyle, whether you’re after an efficient,

lightweight notebook that will keep going for as long as you do, or whether you

need an elegant device whose good looks match its top-of-the-range

computing power.

As well as good looks, these exceptional Ultrabooks are crafted to sit right in

the sweet spot of power and value. Previous Ultrabooks from other

manufacturers have made compromises on power and memory to create slim,

light devices, but the new ASUS ZenBooks are carefully designed to incorporate

the latest processors from Intel, balanced with fast SSDs and plenty of fast

RAM – and all at an affordable price.

This is the Ultrabook designed to look better, perform better, be more power-

efficient and, best of all, and achieve better value for money than other similar

devices such as the MacBook Air. Lightweight, elegant, powerful and efficient,

the ASUS ZenBook, which comes with Windows 10, is the perfect choice for the

highly mobile user who wants a notebook to fit into their lives.

First impressions The first thing you’ll notice when you take your new notebook out of its box is

that the ZenBook’s good looks have got even better. The UX305UA comes in a

choice of two colours – Obsidian Black or Icicle Gold.

Of course, a ZenBook is instantly recognisable thanks to its all-aluminium

chassis, super-slim profile and the concentric circle finish on the lid. The new

colours make it even more distinctive.

The new colours bring a new dimension to those looks: Obsidian Black is an

elegant, brushed-metal finish that takes the iconic concentric-circle design and

brings it right up to date with the sophisticated black spin. It’s a finish that will

appeal to the young and sophisticated mobile professional who wants

something understated but classy.

Or choose Aurora Metallic, a stylish yet subtle brushed-metal finish that adds a

touch of elegance and luxury to the iconic slim and light design.

These smart colours make the ZenBook stand out from the crowd, especially

compared to the MacBook Air, which only comes in one colour, grey. The

ZenBook is also thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air, not to mention

other 13-inch Ultrabooks such as Dell’s XPS13 and Microsoft’s SurfaceBook.

There’s a third colour choice too for the really discerning user: silky-smooth

Ceramic White, which is an exclusive option for the UX305CA with the Core M

processor The Ceramic White finish feels particularly luxurious to the touch

with its understated matte finish that’s continued when you open the lid.

Whichever colour you choose, the ZenBook, with its brilliant diamond-cut

chamfered edges and elegantly slim profile, will always be a glamorous yet

hardworking companion.

As you take the ZenBook out of its box for the first time, you’ll also notice how

incredibly light it is. Weighing a whisper over 1kg (the UX305CA weighs 1.2kg,

the UX305UA is 1.3kg), the ZenBook is a notebook that you’ll barely notice as

you carry it around with you – until of course you take it out of your bag and

set it up, when its elegant good looks are hard to miss and are guaranteed to

turn heads.

Another thoughtful touch you will notice when you open the lid is how the

keyboard is set at a gentle slope, making typing easier. That’s thanks to the

careful hinge design, which lifts the keyboard up slightly to a comfortable

typing angle.

Stunning display on a QHD+ screen Opening the lid gives you even more of a sense of how whisper-thin the

ZenBook is: its elegant profile reveals how beautiful design is embedded in the

ZenBook family’s DNA.

The screen itself continues the theme of quality and elegance: the matte finish

on the ultra-sharp 13.3in IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel provides an anti-glare

display that delivers richer and deeper colours and a satisfying viewing

experience for whatever you’re doing, whether it’s watching a movie, working

or connecting with friends and family.

You have a choice of screen with these new ZenBooks: choose between the

QHD+ display (3200x1800) or the FHD display (1920x1080. This creates an

amazing pixel density of 276 pixels per in (PPI), and a brightness of up to

350cd/m2 with a colour gamut of 72% NTSC and 100% Srgb. This means that

text and images are always pin-sharp and ultra-detailed. That’s twice as sharp

as the equivalent 13inch MacBook Air.

Whichever you pick, you’ll benefit from the superb viewing angle of 178

degrees, meaning that the sweet spot from which to view your ZenBook is

bigger than on many other Ultrabooks and also Apple’s MacBook Air: reviews

of the Air particularly noted the disappointing viewing angles.

The wide viewing angle also

means that more than one

person can look at the screen

without noticing colour shifts

and other distortions, making

the new ZenBook perfect for

sharing: watch a movie with a

friend or collaborate with a

colleague comfortably.

The UX305CA also offers the option of a touchscreen to upgrade your

experience. A touchscreen makes the most of Windows 10, Microsoft’s latest

operating system, which is designed to offer the best of both a traditional

desktop and the bonuses of a touchscreen: rather than using the touchpad,

imagine just dragging your finger up and down the screen to scroll, and

launching applications with a simple tap on the screen rather than clicking or

tapping the touchpad or mouse.

As you’d expect from the

ZenBook, the touchscreen is also

engineered to be exceptional:

the touchscreen is more

responsive than those found on

other Ultrabooks. ASUS

engineers have incorporated

actuators that sense your touch

when just 6mm of your fingertip

touches the screen – industry-

standard touchscreens can’t

sense your fingertip until 9mm touches the panel. This means that ASUS

touchscreens offer a superior response and user experience.

Making a great screen even better To make the most of the beautiful and super-responsive screen, ASUS

engineers have developed the signature ASUS Splendid Technology to enhance

the display of your notebook. This display colour gamut correction technology

means that ZenBooks reproduce richer and deeper colours to make your

viewing experience stunning, whatever you’re looking at.

And you won’t be straining your eyes if you make the most of the ZenBook’s

superb battery life (up to 12 hours for the UX305UA) by watching movies or

box-sets or even working hard: ASUS engineers have also thought of that. The

ZenBooks come with ASUS Eye Care Technology to reduce the level of blue

light from the screen. While most other screens, on Ultrabooks, Macs and

other devices, emit blue light, which is implicated in macular degeneration and

retinal problems, ASUS Eye Care Technology addresses that concern by

reducing the blue light levels from the ZenBook display by 33%, making viewing

more comfortable and protecting your precious eyesight. The Splendid app lets

you choose the mode you prefer for the screen – Normal, Vivid or Eye care,

which reduces the level of blue light. Or you can adjust the colour temperature

of the screen manually to make it perfect for you.

That means that being tempted to carry on using your beautiful ZenBook

means you won’t be putting your eyes at risk.

It’s easy to turn on the Eye Care mode: just launch the ASUS Splendid utility

either by searching via the Windows button or from a tile on the Start screen

or from an icon on the desktop. You’ll see four buttons, offering a choice of

Normal, Eye Care or Vivid mode, plus a button that launches the more

Normal Mode Eye Care Mode Manual Mode Vivid Mode

advanced interface that allows you to tweak the colour and saturation of the

display. Simply click the Eye Care button and you’ll immediately see the change:

the colours on the display are suddenly much warmer and more restful,

reducing eyestrain, especially in low light or late at night, and making your

notebook even more of a pleasure to use.

PixelMaster HDR – perfect for video The ZenBook UX305UA/CA is perfect for recording video, whether you’re

making content for YouTube or Skyping loved ones, thanks to PixelMaster HDR

technology combined with the HD camera. Together they provide stunning

quality in full-screen high definition at an ultra-smooth 30 frames per second

(fps).

Even in challenging light, PixelMaster HDR Technology ensures that your face is

always clearly visible when you’re facing the video camera or even in a relative

dark lighting enviroment . With other notebooks, if you’re sitting with your

back to the window, your face will be too dark as the camera automatically

compensates for the light behind you. Not so with the ZenBookUX305:

PixelMaster HDR means that your viewers will always see your face clearly.

Stunning performance from great hardware Any concerns about compromise in the elegant thin and light design are

banished when you look at the specifications of these ZenBooks.

ASUS has balanced the best-in-class processors with plenty of fast memory and

storage. The new ZenBooks ship with up to 8GB of LPDDR3 1600MHz RAM.

While previous notebooks based on the fifth-generation Core M processors

made compromises on power to achieve the elegant thin and light design,

there’s no compromise at all with the Skylake processors. ASUS engineers have

chosen Intel’s latest family of processors for the new ZenBooks: the sixth-

generation Skylake processors. The two models of ZenBook are powered by

either the power-efficient Core M processors or the CPUs that focus on

computing power, the Core I processors.

That means that even the base-configuration ZenBooks will handle

multitasking with aplomb: RAM is the PC’s dynamic memory, where it stores

data in current use so that applications can handle what you’re doing as fast as

possible. Choosing LPDDR3 RAM means that the ZenBook will be able to move

data back and forth quickly, so you won’t notice any lag or delay while you get

on with editing your pictures and videos, playing a game or putting together a

presentations.

The new family of ZenBooks ships with solid-state drives (SSDs) rather than the

old-fashioned spinning drive found in some other Ultrabooks. An SSD means

much better performance: the ZenBook boots into Windows in a matter of

seconds, even from a cold start, because it doesn’t have to wait for the disk to

spin up as is the case with older hard drives still found in other notebooks.

Additionally, an SSD handles data faster than the traditional HDD. Combined

with Windows 10, which is optimised for this cutting-edge hardware, this

means that the ZenBook UX305 not only looks amazing, it also offers blazing-

fast performance.

You can be sure that your ZenBook will cope with demanding software such as

Photoshop: there is no annoying lag while you tweak and enhance your

photographs. It’s the same with video-editing, working with a huge, complex

spreadsheet or even playing a videogame.

ASUS has carefully paired Intel’s latest integrated graphics processing units

(iGPU) with the newest sixth-generation Skylake processors to provide an

optimal balance of cutting-edge technology, power and energy efficiency.

The power-efficient UX305CA’s video is powered by Intel’s HD Graphics 515

iGPU, which has a base clock speed of 300MHz and a maximum of 1GHz,

supporting a maximum resolution of 3840x2160.

The performance-focused UX305UA pairs a Core I processor with the next-

generation Intel HD Graphics 520 iGPU with a base clock speed of 300MHz and

maximum of 1050MHz.

There are a number of configuration options with these new ZenBooks: the

base configuration offers a 128GB SSD, and you can choose to upgrade to

either a 256GB or 512GB SSD. Each drive has a read speed of more than

500MB/s and offers write speeds of more than 400MB/s.

It’s amazing how much processing power lurks under the hood – it just goes to

show that you should never judge a notebook by its cover.

Diving into the UX305UA If you choose the UX305UA ZenBook, you’ve already picked the Ultrabook that

will keep up with whatever computing task you throw at it. This ZenBook has

been built around the sixth-generation Core I processor, with a choice of the

Core i3-6100U, the Core i5-6200U or the top of the range Core i7-6500U CPU.

The benchmarking tests make clear how good the performance is: the Core i7

notebook scored an impressive total of P5795 in the 3DMark Vantage tests,

with the breakdown between the GPU and CPU scores also showing how

powerful the new HD500 integrated graphics chip is. The overall GPU score in

the 3DMark Vantage test was 4978, while the CPU score was a stunning 11381.

PCMark 08 benchmarks also show how the UX305UA with Intel’s sixth-

generation “Skylake” processor takes computing performance to the next level

compared to the fifth-generation CPUs: the UX305CA scored an overall 2361

compared to the previous UX305LA model, which scored 2175.

The benchmarks also show how the video performance is improved with the

Skylake CPUs. The video chat/encoding score has improved to 104.3ms

(previously 117.0ms). Photo-editing is smoother, too, scoring 0.597s compared

to the previous-generation device’s score of 0.75s.

Diving into the UX305CA The UX305CA ZenBook is designed for power efficiency, and so ASUS engineers

have built this model around the latest Intel Core M Skylake family of

processors.

This model also benefits from ASUS’s careful fanless design, which makes this

laptop silent in use: tests prove that it runs at 0dB. That’s thanks to ASUS

ThermoMaster technology, which uses an ultra-thin 0.5mm heatpipe teamed

with an exclusive capillary structure. So not only does it keep the heat away

from your hands by diverting it from the touchpad, it’s also the best choice for

the considerate user who doesn’t want their notebook to disturb others late at

night, in the library or indeed anywhere that noise could be an issue.

And it will keep going for as long as you do: the Core M processors, which run

at up to 3.1GHz while drawing only 7W TDP, means that the 45Whr battery can

keep you working and playing for up to 10 hours.

With this model, you’ve got a choice of the cutting-edge Core m3-6Y30, the

Core m5-6Y54 or the top of the range Core m7-6Y75 CPU. This family of

processors is designed to keep your ZenBook running for as long as possible,

and offer a battery life of up to 10 hours, meaning that the truly mobile

professional will be able to keep working and playing all day and well into the

evening.

Delivering the ZenBook’s stunning battery life isn’t just about the processor

choice. ASUS engineers have also made sure that these ZenBooks keep their

cool so that you will too – an overheating CPU can mean the notebook slows

down or even crawls to a halt.

Better thermal management That might be an issue with some other Ultrabooks, but not with the latest

ZenBooks. These ZenBooks come with ASUS IceCool Technology as standard,

reshaping the internal design of the notebook to keep the warmer components

away from the palm rest, which maintains a temperature of between 28C and

35C – lower than your body temperature so that it always feels cool to the

touch.

The UX305CA boasts a unique fanless design, which means it dissipates heat

much more efficiently. This uses an ultra-thin 0.5mm heat pipe with an

exclusive capillary structure that efficiently keeps the heat away from the

touchpad – and away from your hand. And of course the fanless technology

means that it’s also whisper-quiet. The UX305CA will not only stay cool, calm

and collected whatever you throw at it, it also remains whisper-quiet,

contributing to its overall elegantly understated vibe.

Using the ZenBook The new family of ZenBooks come pre-loaded with Windows 10, the most up-

to-date version of Microsoft’s operating system.

Taking the best parts of the much-loved Windows 7 OS and adding a modern

look, ease of use and the most up-to-date touch features for those who choose

the touchscreen version of the UX305UA, Windows 10 offers a perfect mix of

productivity and play, combined with a highly efficient use of your ZenBook’s

cutting-edge components for a computing experience that’s a pleasure to use.

New, elegant and highly intuitive versions of productivity apps including Mail,

Calendar and People mean the ZenBook with Windows 10 is a pleasure to use

for work, while additional apps such as News, Money and Sport mean you will

always be up to date with what’s important in your world.

Microsoft’s new digital assistant, Cortana, is there to help you with search,

managing your time and finding things out – and Cortana has a sense of

humour, too. Ask her a range of questions from “why did the chicken cross the

road?” to “open the pod bay doors” and she will answer with her signature wry

take on life.

As well as Windows 10, the

ZenBook comes with a suite of

Asus software to help you make

the most of the notebook.

ASUS Install guides you through

the extra software options to

make sure you’ve got the best

ASUS software for your ZenBook,

while ASUS Live Update checks

that your ZenBook is running the

most up-to-date versions of

Windows and any ASUS software

installed.

Using the keyboard and touchpad The ZenBooks feature a full-sized chiclet keyboard that is a pleasure to type on.

The keys feel springy and responsive to the touch, thanks to the satisfying

1.5mm travel.

The ASUS Smart Gesture app lets you configure the touchpad to suit your way

of working. It guides you through setting your preferences for tapping, scrolling

and using gestures such as pinch-to-zoom. The touchpad itself is a good size

and silky-smooth to the touch, while clicking is a satisfyingly definite

movement that means you won’t accidentally click on something you didn’t

want to.

ASUS Smart Gesture software means you can use the touchpad in the way that

suits you best. If you’d rather not use physical clicks, you can set the software

so that with a single finger you can tap to select, activate files and applications

and drag files and folders around.

Using two fingers on the touchpad, you can activate pop-up menus, scroll in

whichever direction you prefer and pinch and zoom windows, all without

clicking manually. Three-finger gestures allow you to activate Cortana, access

notifications and task views, and switch desktops.

If you prefer to plug in a mouse, Smart Gesture allows you to turn off the

touchpad altogether and also to set up an Android device as a virtual mouse

and touchpad via ASUS’s Remote Link software. In short, you’re in control of

how you use your notebook.

Stunning sound You’ll always get stunning sound with this notebook, thanks to ASUS’s

SonicMaster technology, a unique standard developed by the ASUS Golden Ear

team. This makes the most of the premium hardware by adding specially

designed software to deliver top-of-the-range audio quality that shines

whatever you’re doing.

ASUS’s SonicMaster software is independently certified by ICEpower, ASUS’s

industry-leading partner. The overall exceptional quality is achieved thanks to

an optimised amplifier, larger speakers and resonance chambers combined

with a professional codec that work together to deliver audio of a quality that

far outstrips expectations.

Using the built-in B&O ICEpower audio system, the result is crystal-clear sound

with a deeper and richer bass and a wider sonic range, all of which combine to

deliver distinct vocals and an audio output that will impress whether you’re

watching a movie or delivering a presentation.

Not only do the speakers produce a crystal-clear sound, they are also set up to

produce a true stereo output: music and speech come clearly from the

channels they were designed for.

You can fine-tune the sound profiles using the Audio Wizard tool, which allows

you to set the right profile for the task: Music mode, Movie mode, Recording

mode, Gaming mode or Speech mode.

Music Mode balances the treble and bass to provide the best experience

for listening to your favourite tunes

Movie Mode brightens the sound so that speech is crystal clear

Gaming Mode is just what you need to be able to hear the sound effects,

music and voices in your favourite games

Speech Mode optimises the settings so that if you’re speaking to loved

ones online their voices come through loud and clear.

Off returns the settings to their default for when you’re doing everyday

computing tasks

And to make sure that your ZenBook is making the most of what you’re

listening to, ASUS deploys a professional codec to handle the sound processing

so that the ZenBook offers best-in-class sound reproduction.

While notebook speakers on devices from other manufacturers can be

disappointing, that’s definitely not the case with the new ZenBooks. Whatever

you’re doing, whether it’s listening to music, watching a film or speaking to

friends and loved ones, you’ll always be impressed by the sound quality.

Get connected Some Ultrabooks make compromises to maintain their thin and light designs.

Not the ZenBooks: looking at the side profile of these new ZenBooks reveals

that this is a notebook that means business.

All the ZenBooks have three full-sized USB ports, unlike some of its more

expensive competitors: the MacBook only has one USB port and requires

expensive adapters if users want to plug it in to an HDMI screen. On the

powerful UX305CA, all three of those are superfast USB 3.0 slots, which can

transfer data at speeds of up to 4.8Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0,

which has a maximum data transfer speed of 480Mbps.

The power-efficient UX305UA boasts two USB 3.0 ports plus a USB 2.0 port.

That USB 2.0 port is a good slot to plug peripherals such as an external

keyboard or mouse in to while the USB 3.0 ports are great for plugging in

compatible external hard drives or USB data sticks. (Note: USB 2.0 hardware

plugged into a USB 3.0 port will transfer data at the lower speed of the older

standard.)

ASUS engineers are always looking for efficiency in the design of ZenBooks,

and so one of the USB ports on the latest family of ZenBooks incorporate ASUS

Charger+ technology. This lets you charge a device such as a tablet or

smartphone via the USB port on your ZenBook even if your notebook is asleep.

This means that you can leave behind the bulky charger for your tablet or

cellphone if you’re on the road with your ZenBook and other devices – just the

kind of thoughtful design touch that makes the new family of ZenBooks perfect

for the highly mobile professional who values efficiency as well as stunning

good looks.

Both the UX305CA and the UX305UA boast a micro-HDMI port and support

eDP, DP and DVI as well as HDMI. This means that the ZenBook can handle any

kind of screen you might want to connect it to. Thanks to the Micro HDMI port,

the ZenBook can connect to an eDP (embedded Display Port), Display Port, DVI

or HDMI output, making it incredibly versatile.

Getting online Your ZenBook will always be able to get online thanks to the latest Wi-Fi

technology coming as standard.

When it comes to wireless connections, the ZenBook offers the latest dual-

band two-stream 802.11ac technology, offering Wi-Fi performance that’s up to

three times faster than previous Wi-Fi standards, with better coverage and

battery efficiency than notebooks implementing the 802.11n standard. So

whether you’re in the office, at home or on the move, if there’s a Wi-Fi hotspot,

your ZenBook will be able to connect.

Ultra-fast Bluetooth Do you need to exchange files with someone else? There’s no need to use

clumsy workarounds such as emailing documents back and forth. Or perhaps

you want to connect a wireless peripheral to your ZenBook such as a speaker

or a keyboard and mouse.

That will be easy thanks to the fact that the new family of ZenBooks comes

with the power-efficient Bluetooth 4.0 as standard.

The power efficiency of Bluetooth 4.0 also means the ZenBook is a great

companion for some of the most up to the minute devices such as fitness and

heartbeat monitors and other wearable technology. Using Bluetooth 4.0, you

can share the data collected by those devices for analysis by specialist software.

ZenBook – part of your life There’s no denying that the latest ZenBooks are the best yet. ASUS’s engineers

have worked hard to develop notebooks that combine cutting-edge technology,

thanks to Intel’s sixth-generation Skylake processors, efficiency and power with

stunningly good looks and versatility. And best of all, the new ASUS ZenBooks

are very affordable, putting them within reach of those who care about value

for money as well as glamorous good looks and who aren’t prepared to make

compromises over performance.

The base model ZenBook UX305CA, which focuses on great battery life and

efficient working, starts at just $699. Meanwhile, the base model ZenBook

UX305UA, which packs the powerful sixth-generation Intel Core I-series

processors at its heart and which is designed to deliver computing power

alongside good looks, is stunningly good value for money with its starting price

of just $799.

If you’ve been looking at other Ultrabooks and haven’t found one that’s the

right combination of beauty, power, efficiency and price, now is the time to

take a look at ASUS’s new ZenBooks. You won’t want to look any further.
