All models include three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, providing access to hundreds of high-quality PC games.
During the show, ASUS emphasised the brand’s pioneering role in innovating for a sustainable future. “As we progress on this incredible journey towards sustainability, we continually leverage our technological leadership, data-driven rigor, and human-centred philosophy,” says ASUS co-CEO SY Hsu.
“Our goal is to ultimately create a net-zero enterprise that drives the shift towards a circular economy — with a responsible supply chain creating shared values for each and every one of us.”
Over a decade ago, ASUS introduced the carbon-neutral laptop, followed closely by the revolutionary ASUS Bamboo-series laptops and, more recently, our carbon-neutral business laptop in 2022. After these early steps toward creating a better future, ASUS continues to innovate and today showcased some of the sustainable actions being taken to bring exciting innovations that create the most ubiquitous, intelligent, heartfelt, and joyful smart life for everyone.
This year, over 90% of ASUS consumer laptops will meet EPEAT and ENERGY STAR® 8.0 standards. By focusing on product quality, functionality, durability, and upgradability, ASUS ensures longer product lifecycles by building products from the ground up with sustainability in mind. ASUS uses sustainable materials in product manufacturing and packaging — and has actively procured and employed 1,500 tons of PCR (Post-consumer recycled) plastic since 2017, along with over 20 000 tons of recycled paper in 2022.
To do more, ASUS consistently pushes recyclability, resulting in over 40,000 tons of electronic waste (e-waste) being recycled in recent years.
By building more durable products, ASUS is able to reduce waste and prolong the life of our laptops, as well as ensure users have incredible experiences, no matter where they are. That is why the all-new 2023 ASUS consumer laptop models and beyond will undergo the strictest durability testing of any product in the consumer laptop market — the tough MIL-STD 810H US military-grade standard, based on 12 test methods and 26 test procedures — to deliver long-lasting value, reliability, and durability.
Additionally, ASUS has partnered with Ishizuka Glass for antimicrobial treatments, using its IONPURE antimicrobial agent on select products. ASUS introduced the ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus Silver Ion coating, which can inhibit the spread of 99% of virus and bacteria ― including Covis-19 ― over a 24-hour period. This technology is specifically tested on viruses such as Influenza A (H3N2) and H1N1; it also follows ISO 21702 and ISO 22196 testing protocols to help ensure a more hygienic user experience.
During the CES 2023 event, ASUS introduced a range of new and updated software and hardware innovations for content creators. All the new ProArt Studiobook, Zenbook Pro, and Vivobook Pro laptops will come with the latest GeForce RTX 40 series Laptop GPUs. Backed by NVIDIA Studio technologies for creators, products with NVIDIA RTX GPUs benefit from RTX optimisations in over 110 creative apps, NVIDIA Studio Drivers for the highest levels of stability and performance in creative apps, and exclusive AI-powered NVIDIA tools: Omniverse, Canvas, and Broadcast.
ASUS also introduced ASUS Spatial Vision, the glasses-free (autostereoscopic) 3D OLED technology, which allows immersive 3D experiences on a laptop — with no wearables required. This is made possible using a lenticular lens and advanced eye-tracking camera technology, enabling the display to weave distinct images for each eye, resulting in an autostereoscopic 3D image. Users can also switch effortlessly between 2D and 3D. This new technology can totally change creator workflows, as users will be able to see the details of 3D objects and effects directly on the screen without needing to review physical prototypes, saving time and money while making their workflow more efficient.
These OLED displays offer a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a 0.2 ms response time, and a 120 Hz refresh rate for seamless visuals ― all while minimizing crosstalk for the smoothest viewing experience. They also offer great potential for rapidly-growing metaverse applications. This glasses-free 3D OLED technology integrates with the exclusive apps in the ASUS Spatial Vision Hub, which allows users to watch 3D videos and movies, play 3D games, and enjoy 3D model visualization or content creation.
ASUS Spatial Vision also provides development tools built on SR (Simulated Reality) from partner Dimenco, with supporting materials and guidelines to equip developers with unlimited potential by covering gesture control, interactive learning and much more to build a visionary ecosystem around 3D technologies.
ASUS announced ProArt Creator Hub 2.0, which is designed to ensure creators can best utilize their powerful ASUS hardware and software to bring their ideas to life. This new version hosts a refreshed, modern user interface and an exclusive new feature — Color Control, which combines all the colour solutions specific to creators. ProArt Creator Hub 2.0 updates the ASUS Dial and ASUS Control Panel capabilities to not only allow new customisations for Adobe apps, but also for productivity, entertainment, and content creation apps — including Microsoft 365, Spotify, YouTube, and popular web browsers.
ProArt Creator Hub 2.0 will be available for all Studiobook, Zenbook, and Vivobook models with ASUS Dial, ASUS DialPad, or ASUS ScreenPad Plus. It will also be available for the ProArt mouse range as well as all ASUS touchscreen monitors.
ASUS has joined forces with Pantone®, the world-leading authority on colour, to provide an opportunity for creators to gain access to and utilise the Pantone resource database, including the Pantone Libraries, Color Space data, Color Harmonies, and much more. All these features will be available on all ASUS creator laptops via the ASUS-exclusive ProArt Creator Hub 2.0 software.
