The World’s First Ultrabook with a Lid made from Corning Gorilla Glass 3

Taipei, Taiwan (20th May, 2013) — ASUS today announced that the new Zenbook Infinity Ultrabook™ will debut at Computex 2013. Zenbook Infinity features a beautiful new design that combines glass and aluminium for a wonderfully slim profile with outstanding resilience. Thinner than the previous model, Zenbook Infinity makes innovative use of new Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance™ on the lid and keyboard surround for sleek and durable style.

Slim, stylish and scratch-resistant
ASUS Zenbook Infinity raises the bar for notebook design with a seemingly impossible combination of elegance and durability. With a maximum thickness of just 15.5mm, Zenbook Infinity is 14 per cent thinner than the previous generation of Zenbook. By incorporating Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance (NDR) on the outer lid and keyboard surround, Zenbook Infinity attains a first for notebook design — a sheer, high-gloss, finish that’s highly resistant to scuff marks and scratches.

New Corning Gorilla Glass 3 has the same durability and thinness as Gorilla Glass 2, but uses Corning’s proprietary NDR glass composition for superior scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility and improved toughness. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with NDR has three times the scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass 2, and gives a 40 per cent reduction in the number of highly visible scratches with a 40 per cent improvement in retained strength if a deep scratch does occur.

Zenbook Infinity features the pattern of fine concentric circles that’s an ASUS Zenbook hallmark, but boasts a clean and smooth exterior that’s more resistant to the harsh realities of mobile life than notebooks that use more traditional materials.

ASUS at Computex 2013

Zenbook Infinity will be on show at the ASUS Computex 2013 showcase in Taipei from 4-8 June. The ASUS showcase is at Booth M0810, Nangang Exhibition Hall 4F at the Taipei World Trade Center. Please contact your local ASUS representative for further information.
