The first, in particular, add to the CPUs in question an excellent Nvidia graphics unit such as the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and innovative components such as the proprietary IceCool Pro cooling systems for a combined thermal power up to 140 watts, the digital rotary control of the DialPad and the aforementioned ultra-high resolution OLED displays, including the world’s first 3.2K 16-inch specimen.

Dual OLED display and thickness less than 15 mm
Like the previous ones, the 2022 selection of the Zenbook Pro and Zenbook S also work with the new generation CPUs of Intel and Amd and do not deviate from the word of high performance combined with attention to detail in the name of maximum mobility and versatility and resources. that meet the needs of those who work in 3D design, video editing, live streaming and graphic design workflows. The absolute top of the range, the 16X OLED model with 4K OLED HDR 60 touchscreen in 16:10 format, is labeled as the most powerful ever of this family and as a new icon of the ultra-thin laptop concept (the thickness is of 16.9 mm). Other first fruits first 17-inch Zenbook (the Pro 17 series) while no less important for Asus are also the evolution of the dual display of the Pro 14 Duo Oled series, which thanks to a new auto-tilt mechanism raises the secondary touchscreen ScreenPad Plus 12.7-inch models to allow for better cooling and better ergonomics, and the 13.3-inch specimens (always with OLED screen) S 13 and the S 13 Flip convertible that sport a weight in the order of kilograms, the first with a thickness of less than 15 mm and the second with a display that can rotate 360 degrees.
