ASUS is bringing new laptops to market, for all types of users
ASUS have announced a new line up of their Zenbook series of laptops for 2022, with models covering almost every aspect of what a laptop can offer. From screen sizes that start at 13inches and go up to 17inches, the latest Intel and AMD CPU’s and the best Nvidia and AMD GPU’s, it all boils down to you having options.
The 2022 Zenbook Pro and Zenbook S series of premium laptops all feature a completely new 'modern Zen' look, giving them an uncluttered, sophisticated appearance, with new details such as stepped diamond-cut edge highlights and the new ASUS monogram 'A' lid logo. Continuing the Zenbook tradition, the emphasis is on elegance and portability combined with class-leading performance.
The flagship model in the new line-up is the Zenbook Pro 16X OLED, as seen below, with ASUS stating that it offers a no-compromise experience, with a wealth of innovative design features all designed to aid on-the-go creativity, including the AAS (Active Aerodynamic System) Ultra mechanism for maximum performance. The outstanding power and performance of Zenbook 16X OLED are packed into a compact 2.4 kg unibody — CNC-machined for solidity from super-tough aerospace-grade 6000-series aluminium alloy — that's just 16.9 mm slim, so it’s easy to get creative on the move.
The Zenbook Pro 16X OLED is an NVIDIA Studio validated laptop, powered by up to a 12th Gen Intel Core i9 12900H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, Zenbook Pro 16X OLED delivers extreme mobile performance.
Of course, all that power means nothing if you can’t see what you are doing and for that, ASUS have you covered, as the laptop comes with a 16:10 16" 4K OLED HDR 60 Hz 550-nit Dolby Vision display, which supports touchscreen and that is also PANTONE Validated for industry-standard colour rendering, has a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 gamut, and is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500-certified for the deepest blacks.
"At ASUS, we continue in our relentless pursuit for innovation to push everyone's creativity to the next level," said Rex Lee, ASUS Vice President and Head of Personal Computer BU. "Thanks to our users, ASUS has become worldwide No.1 NVIDIA® Studio creator laptop brand1 . And since launching our most comprehensive OLED laptop line-up in 2021, ASUS has earned the worldwide No. 1 spot for OLED laptops 2 ," he continued. "With the full enhancement of our brand-new Zenbook Pro and Zenbook S series, these iconic premium compact laptop series not only achieve the pinnacle of performance, but also feature stunning OLED displays, unique innovations, and a modern new look."

Now for someone who wants power and a smaller form factor, the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is an option you need to look at. Not only does it feature a 14.5-inch 2.8K 120 Hz OLED laptop, but it also features a bigger and brighter next-gen 12.7-inch ScreenPad Plus, that is the smaller screen on the laptop below.
This machine is an Intel Evo-certified powerhouse, which features up to a 12th Gen Intel Core i9 12900H processor and creator-grade NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, with both being cooled for extreme performance — up to an 85-watt combined TDP — by ASUS IceCool Plus technology, aided by the AAS Ultra mechanism.
For studio-class visuals, the main screen is a 2.8K OLED HDR 16:10 main Dolby Vision touchscreen and has a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, with upgraded peak brightness of 500 nits, PANTONE Validated colour accuracy, and a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 gamut, as well as TÜV Rheinland-certified eye care.
