The Asus ZenBook 3 features impressive hardware with an Intel Core i7 processor and a 1TB SSD in a super slim design.
Waging war
On Monday, Asus announced the Zenbook 3, its new answer to Apple's Macbook and Macbook Air ranges.
Another strong Windows offering
The range starts at $999, putting it in competition with the likes of the Dell XPS 13 and the Razer Blade Stealth.
If it ain't broke...
The laptop's design is familiar for anyone who's used a Zenbook before.
