Meet Zenbook UX301 — the Ultrabook™ with everlasting elegance
Creating the perfect Ultrabook™ means striking a perfect balance between form and function. Zenbook UX301 has a strikingly gorgeous design refined with crystalline glass and classic hairline metallic finish that's just 15.5mm thick — 14% thinner than the previous Zenbook. Lift the lid and inside is a vibrant 13.3-inch WQHD display that brings images to life and makes everything from browsing the web to working with documents an absolute pleasure. Zenbook UX301is the Ultrabook™ you'll want with you, wherever you go.
Incredible image quality with a WQHD display
We see the world in high-definition, so why use anything less on your Ultrabook™ Zenbook UX301 packs a stunning 2560 x 1440 pixels into its 13.3-inch display to give four times the resolution of an HD display and a razor sharp high-definition image for web pages, photos, video and games. More pixels means more space to work, too — so you can keep multiple windows open and in view at the same, and see more of a spreadsheet or the image your working on.
Brighter images, true-to-life colors
When we say Zenbook UX301 has a brilliant display, we really mean it. The LED backlight gives an image that's bright enough to see outdoors, while the anti-glare coating eliminates distracting reflections from overhead lighting indoors. With an incredible contrast of 800:1 and 72% color reproduction with 16.7 million colors, IPS display technology delivers pure whites, deep blacks and colors so true to life, looking at a photograph is like looking at the real thing. 178-degree viewing angles mean you always get the perfect view of the screen, too — even if viewing conditions are anything but.
10-POINT CAPACITIVE MULTI-TOUCH DISPLAY
Touch is such an intuitive way to interact with a computer display, we've been trying to do it for decades — just ask anyone who sells screen-cleaning kits. The good news is that with Zenbook UX301, reaching out to touch the screen is no longer an empty gesture. Its 13.3-inch multi-touch display responds to the slightest touch in just 30ms, so you can tap an icon to open an app, pinch a web page to make the text larger, and swipe across the screen to switch between running applications instantly. Multi-touch makes everything so much easier.
Backlit for a better typing experience
A keyboard is still the best way to get things done for most people, so we made sure Zenbook UX301 has the best available. Each key is expertly tuned to require just the right amount of force to press and have just the right amount of travel, so it's both quiet and comfortable for two-finger and touch typists alike. And since an Ultrabook™ is designed to be used anywhere, we made the keyboard that way, too. Its backlight adjusts automatically to suit the level of ambient lighting, so you'll always be able to see they keys, even in complete darkness.
Portable power and performance
Zenbook UX301 is powered by 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors for seamless multi-tasking performance and outstanding energy efficiency. A high-end 28W Core i7-4558U dual-core option makes light work of even the most demanding applications. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology gives a burst of extra speed up to 3GHz when you really need it, while Intel® HD Graphics 5100 with Clear Video HD technology gives silky smooth playback with Full HD video.
Solid-state storage for serious speed
Zenbook UX301 features up to 512GB of solid-state storage that not only keeps your data safe, but also makes it much faster to use — and optional 512GB RAID0 SSD storage turbo-charges performance even more. With no moving parts to damage or fail, solid-state storage is extremely durable and its low power requirements mean longer battery life when you're nowhere near a power socket. More importantly, at around four times faster than a traditional hard drive, solid-state storage is blisteringly quick. That means there's less time spent waiting for applications to launch and large files to open, leaving you to spend more time getting things done.
Work all day on a single charge
Energy-efficient components like the Intel® Core™ processor and solid-state drive help Zenbook UX301 last for up to 8 hours on battery power, so you can get a full day's work done before you need to recharge. Exclusive Super Hybrid Technology can also boost battery life by up to 25% for less demanding tasks like web browsing and watching video, so you can last even longer between trips to the power socket.
USB 3.0, the next-generation connection for faster data transfers
USB 3.0 is ten times faster than USB 2.0 and with two ports at your disposal, you can save photos, transfer MP3s and open multi-gigabyte video files in a fraction of the time with compatible storage. USB 3.0 has more power for mobile devices, too. Smartphones and tablets recharge in half the time compared to USB 2.0, even when Zenbook UX301 is switched off. USB Charger+ technology lets you charge your devices on-the-go.
Designed to never lose its cool
An Ultrabook™ as sophisticated as Zenbook UX301 needs a cooling system to match, so we designed our own. Inside the case is a custom heatsink made from beryllium copper alloy, which conducts heat away from hot components much more effectively than ordinary copper. Rather than spoil the sleek lines of Zenbook Touch with unsightly grilles, warm air then is channeled through a vent below the screen hinge, well away from any part of your body that touches the case. The result is an Ultrabook™ that's much cooler than the competition — in more ways than one.

Sound
SonicMaster, because we're serious about sound
Creating an Ultrabook™ that looks as incredible as Zenbook UX301 is one thing, but making one that sounds as incredible is something else. The key to our success is our unique SonicMaster technology and a team of audio engineers who expertly balance high-quality audio hardware and professional-grade audio software to ensure the best possible sound quality. We think all the hard work is worth it, and when you hear the wide dynamic range with rich bass and sharp treble that Zenbook Touch delivers, we know you will, too.
