ASUS today announced the all-new Zenbook 15 OLED (UM3504), a premium thin and light 15.6-inch laptop powered by up to the latest AMD Ryzen 7 7735U processor. This powerful and compact laptop is designed for on-the-go productivity and creativity, featuring a durable all-metal chassis with a 14.9 mm-thin profile and a weight of just 1.4 kg. The 15.6-inch 16:9 120 Hz 2.8K ASUS Lumina OLED NanoEdge display is Pantone Validated for accurate color rendering and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified for the deepest blacks. It's also SGS and TÜV Rheinland certified for eye care.

To complement its Ryzen processor and AMD Radeon graphics, Zenbook 15 OLED has up to 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Fast reliable connectivity is provided by WiFi 6E (802.11ax) enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master Premium. The premium design of Zenbook 15 OLED includes a choice of two finishes: a high-tech eco-friendly Basalt Gray plasma ceramic aluminium, or anodized Ponder Blue. To keep the laptop hygienic it's protected with ASUS Antimicrobial Guard plus, which reduces growth of viruses and bacteria by up to 99%. Conferencing is made easier with the FHD IR webcam and ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) technology, along with the Harman Kardon-certified Dolby Atmos speaker system.



For effortless on-the-go connections, there are USB4, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, along with an HDMI 2.1 port and an audio combo jack.

See the light
Even though it has a large 15.6-inch 16:9 aspect ratio display, Zenbook 15 OLED is remarkably compact, weighing just 1.4 kg with a svelte 14.9 mm-thin profile. Its tough all-metal construction makes it the ultimate ultraportable laptop for effortless on-the-go productivity and creativity.

See more incredible
The immersive 16:9 2.8K ASUS Lumina OLED NanoEdge display on Zenbook 15 OLED delivers incredibly detailed visuals with ultravivid colors, and its 120 Hz refresh rate and 0.2 ms response time ensure smooth-flowing visuals even in the fastest action scenes. The NanoEdge design has ultraslim bezels and an 86% screen-to-body ratio, which in turn gives Zenbook 15 OLED its incredibly compact form factor.

ASUS Lumina OLED is our brand-new name that's only given to superior OLED displays that meet our strict quality criteria, and offer a visual experience that's more accurate, more adaptive, and more reliable. ASUS Lumina OLED displays standardize highly-crafted visual solutions around the best OLED experience. The name also highlights the unique advantages and superior visual experience that go beyond traditional OLED displays. ASUS Lumina OLED displays feature exclusive ASUS technologies, such as ASUS Splendid and ASUS OLED Care, as well as new features like Delta E <1 color accuracy, power-saving, and panel protection. By integrating these elements, ASUS has created a highly-crafted solution that represents the pinnacle of OLED technology. ASUS also provides free OLED screen exchange for any burn-in issues during the warranty period.

For superb color accuracy, the bright 550-nit display is Pantone Validated, and the DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification means it displays the deepest possible blacks, with an ultra-high contrast ratio that reveals details hidden in shadows. With the integrated ASUS Splendid software, the color gamut can be quickly and easily switched to suit various tasks or preferences, with a choice of the ultravivid native color setting, sRGB for web content or browsing, DCI-P3 for cinematic content, or Display P3 for extraordinary real-world color.

The display also cares for the user's eyes during long screen sessions, with low blue-light levels and flicker-free operation that are certified by both SGS and TÜV Rheinland.

Conquer any task
Zenbook 15 OLED is built to deliver outstanding performance, with up to the latest AMD Ryzen 7 7735U processor, up to 32 GB of fast RAM, and AMD Radeon graphics, so users can blitz through any work or leisure task, wherever they are. Its ultrafast up to 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD ensures fast boot times and instant app loads. A long-lasting 67 Wh battery allows up to an incredible 13 hours of on-the-go autonomy, and it can be quickly topped up to a 60% charge level in around 49 minutes.

The gigabit-class WiFi 6E (802.11ax) users can enjoy fast, smooth and reliable connections, enhanced for speed, stability and coverage by the exclusive ASUS WiFi Master Premium fine-tuning technologies and software features. Via the MyASUS app, users can switch on WiFi SmartConnect, which automatically connects to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots, or utilize TaskFirst to select tasks that they wish to prioritize for internet access

Premium design
The sophisticated Zenbook 15 OLED is designed to impress, with its katsugi-inspired ASUS monogram lid design and a choice of two gorgeous colors: users can choose either the eco-friendly Basalt Gray plasma ceramic aluminium—created using a halogen-free process—or the calmly elegant anodized Ponder Blue.

Frequently touched areas of the laptop are protected with ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus to inhibit the growth of viruses and bacteria. It is scientifically shown—using the ISO 2170213 and 2219614 standards—to inhibit virus and bacteria growth by more than 99% over a 24-hour period.

For easy video conferencing when working remotely there's an innovative FHD IR camera system with ASUS 3DNR and ASUS AI noise-canceling audio technology, featuring new algorithms to make the video and audio in conference calls even clearer for a more productive experience.

For immersive entertainment, Zenbook 15 OLED has a Dolby Atmos stereo sound system that's also Harman Kardon certified, with a smart amplifier that can boost the volume up to 3.5X louder than a standard amplifier.

I was about to bash on ASUS for misleading information
ASUS Antimicrobial Guard plus, which reduces growth of viruses and bacteria by up to 99%
But then i went to their site and they do not mention viruses, but only bacteria.
So its either the journalists added the "virus" part, or marketing did it before handing to the press.

For those who don't still know, silver ions kill bacteria only, and not viruses.

You are right.

But looking up to the ISO there are some treatment for specific types of viruses indeed. No real specifics, we need a field expert here. But the PR may be actually grounded with some facts. That's unusual.


[iii] ISO 21702 specifies proper methods for measuring antiviral activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces of antiviral-treated products. Test Viruses used in this International Standard are as follows: Influenza: An enveloped virus known to cause respiratory tract infection in humans. Feline calicivirus: A non-enveloped virus used in place of noroviruses known to cause enteric pathogens due to similar biological properties.

Lots of fancy names for the colour of the case, but where is the info on display resolution? Zenbooks have had models in the past, that have had either fantastic resolutions for document reading/creation, or poor resolutions for web browsing and gaming. I dont care about smooth flowing visuals and gaming on a productivity laptop. I want my code and technical documentation legible.

If the price accompanies it, it can be a great purchase, but not with a Zen 3, I prefer what has already come out and we are all waiting for AMD ZEN 4 7040 with an ORANGE label. I prefer to wait because they only have to change the processor for this model to make it the Laptop What most buyers expect AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix = DDR5 + RDNA 3 + USB 4.0 + HDMI 2.1 + Artificial intelligence and all at 4nm. ORANGE LABEL REPTIO which are the Zen 4 7040 that carries RDNA and Artificial intelligence with which you can play AAA Games, make video renderings, 3D, CAD.
ASUS you only have to change the processor and it will surely become a best seller.

If it's internally like the other OLED Zenbook 15s, the only thing you'll be able to swap out in it is the SSD. The RAM will be soldered on with no SODIMM slots.
