At an online launch event confidently entitled 'The Pinnacle of Performance', Asus has introduced a slew of high-end creator-focused Zenbook and Vivobook laptops, all bar one of them with OLED screens.
Asus highlighted six new devices in the premium Zenbook range, headed by the flagship 16-inch Zenbook Pro 16X OLED. Two of the new Zenbooks are thin-and-light 13-inch Zenbook S-series laptops. The more mainstream Vivobook range gets multiple new models, including high-performance Pro systems and thin/light S series devices. There are also two limited-edition artist versions of the existing Vivobook 13 Slate OLED 2-in-1 detachable.
The 2022 Zenbooks feature a new look that Asus calls 'modern Zen' and run on 12th-generation Intel Core H-series processors or AMD Ryzen 6000-series chips. Models with discrete Nvidia GPUs will benefit frompre-installed Nvidia Studio drivers, which help to deliver enhanced performance in a range of creative apps. Improved cooling systems help these laptops maximise their performance, while the keyboard on the Pro 16X and secondary screen on the Pro 14 Duo are elevated by a new auto-tilt mechanism (AAS Ultra) for enhanced cooling and improved ergonomics.
