ASUS LAUNCHES NEW 2023 LIFESTYLE PC LINE-UP AS IT CONTINUES ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE ‘OLED FOR EVERYONE’

ASUS has announced its latest OLED lifestyle line-up is now available in Australia. ASUS first integrated OLED in its lifestyle range in 2021, and this latest launch represents the next step in the brand’s drive to make OLED technology more attainable for Australians and lead the industry in PC OLED technology.

The line-up spans three product ranges: Studiobooks, suitable for professional creators; Zenbooks, for savvy consumers who are focused on performance and aesthetic; and Vivobooks, which are designed for everyday users and creators. The OLED lifestyle line-up encompasses 24 models in 2023 (vs. 3 in 2021) and now includes flagship model, the Zenbook S 13 OLED, the world’s slimmest OLED ultraportable laptop.

ASUS’ continued integration of OLED technology in its lifestyle line-up has been at the forefront of its business plans given the constant growth and demand for the premium display technology.

“We first launched the world’s most comprehensive lifestyle line-up with OLED in 2021 and  in 2023, we’re focused on continuing to be the market leader in OLED laptops. Incredible technologies are often aspirational but rarely are they available to the masses. ASUS has committed to updating its three key lifestyle product ranges, ensuring more Australians have an opportunity to access an OLED display at various price points. As the content creator market continues to grow, we recognise all Australians are creators in their own right, so we are proud to be able to provide OLED technology to support this market,” said Bradley Howe, Head of Consumer, ASUS Australia.

ASUS Lumina OLED displays

ASUS has included its Lumina OLED technology across the new lifestyle range, which aims to standardise a quality OLED experience. The name also highlights the unique advantages of ASUS OLED displays, which provide a visual experience that goes beyond the standard of traditional OLED displays. With more accurate, more adaptive, and more reliable features, Zenbook S 13 OLED is an example of the excellence that ASUS Lumina OLED displays have to offer.

Beyond the traditional OLED display benefits, such as high contrast and wide colour range, ASUS Lumina OLED displays provide a number of unique benefits:

  • Eye Care Support: With people spending hours working, playing and creating in front of laptops, ASUS has ensured its OLED line-up has TÜV Rheinland low blue-light certification, which means the devices can help to reduce strain on eyes caused by prolonged exposure to blue light
  • Colour Accuracy: Due to being Pantone® Validated and factory-calibrated to Delta E < 1, consumers can experience a wider array of more accurate colours, creating an immersive experience
  • Perfect Blacks: With VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black certification, ASUS’ line-up gives creators the ability to see greater contrast when designing, creating websites, films, editing photos and more
  • True To Life: ASUS Tru2Life technology is a video enhancement feature that analyses each pixel of the video being displayed, adjusting brightness, contrast and sharpness to ensure the best, most vibrant viewing experience for consumers
  • Precision: ASUS Splendid colour-gamut management provides consumers with greater precision in their work
  • Reliability: OLED Power Saving and US military-grade durability ensures a trustworthy device that users can rely on
