What sets the Edition 30 apart from the other ZenBook models is its design. Instead of an all-metal motif, the Edition 30 showcases a pearl white leather cover, attached to the back of the notebook’s display. To add to its opulence, the leather is also embossed with a specially designed 30th anniversary, 18 karat rose gold-plated emblem.
Besides the aesthetics, the ZenBook Edition 30’s hardware is nearly identical to the ZenBook 13. It comes with either an 8th generation Core i5-8265U or Core i7-8565U CPU, a 13.3-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) NanoEdge display. It’s also fitted with just an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 discrete GPU, between 8GB and 16GB LPDDR3-2133MHz RAM, and up to 1TB of storage via an NVMe PCIe SSD. It also comes with ASUS’ 5.65-inch Full HD+ ScreenPad 2.0, plus a multitude of ports including USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C, USB Gen2 Type-A, a HDMI port, MicroSD Card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
