ZenBook UX306 is designed to go everywhere you go. Weighing a mere 1.2kg and just 1.4cm thin, ZenBook UX306 is the lightest and one of the thinnest ZenBook. However, it's not just an amazingly-beautiful, lightweight laptop: it's seriously powerful too, packed with the latest high-performance technology including up to Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM and the latest USB Type-C port. With ZenBook UX306, you can do all the incredible things you've always wanted to do, wherever you are.
The sophisticated design of ZenBook UX306 is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, engineered to stand out from the crowd. It takes dozens of precisely-controlled manufacturing steps to forge each ZenBook UX306 from a raw block of solid aluminum. The subtle and refined new shape incorporates the DNA of the classic ZenBook, with an elegantly-tapered wedge design that's both practical and elegant.
With up to 16GB RAM and the latest 6th-generation up to Intel® Core™ i7 processor, ZenBook UX306 breezes through any task, no matter how demanding. And thanks to the high-speed all-flash storage — up to a 512GB SSD that's six times faster than a conventional hard disk — ZenBook UX306 will never keep you waiting.
ZenBook UX306's powerful battery and intelligent power management keep it working for up to 12 hours with Wi-Fi-connected. So when you want to unwind after a tough day, there'll always be plenty of power in hand for play!
ZenBook UX306 lets you get connected faster and further with the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi — with speeds of 867 Mbit/s, it's up to three times faster than 802.11n! And Bluetooth® 4.1 lets you connect your favorite devices with less impact on battery life. ZenBook UX306 gives you the freedom to what you need to do, wherever you want to do it!
When working on the go, it's vital to be able to connect with anything and everything. ZenBook UX306 features the revolutionary USB Type-C port for any-way-up connections and super-fast data transfers. And you'll also find two USB 3.0 Types-A ports, one with ASUS USB Charger+ technology to charge connected devices up to 50% faster, a micro HDMI port and an SD Card slot, so it's easy to connect to all your current and future peripherals.
ZenBook UX306 has a display that looks just as good as you'd expect from such a beautiful laptop. The ultra-sharp screen has an amazing up to QHD+ resolution of 3200 by 1800 pixels and a brightness of 300cd/m2, so it's always easy and comfortable to view. And with an incredible pixel density of 276 pixels per inch, images and text are always pin-sharp and ultra-detailed.
ZenBook uses a high-quality wide viewing angle display with a wide color gamut (72% NTSC), so the colors you see on screen are accurate, vivid and realistic — even at the widest viewing angles!
Developed by the ASUS Golden Eye team, exclusive ASUS Splendid technology gives you vivid, accurate colors no matter what you're watching. It works by automatically fine-tuning various display settings to optimize all kinds of images. The result is richer, deeper colors and stunning visuals whether you're watching videos and movies, playing games or browsing through your photos.
Super Optimized Color
We take great care to make sure all our displays show everything as clearly and as accurately as possible.
It’s an unavoidable fact that no two LCD panels show exactly the same colors. This is due to many factors that can’t be eliminated completely during manufacturing, such as the liquid crystal chemistry, backlight variations and normal manufacturing tolerances.
However, these differences can be minimized by careful quality control and fine-tuning of the display’s parameters. This is exactly what ASUS Splendid does: put simply, it ensures that all our display panels show identical, accurate colors. On a technical level, it uses a combination of factory-applied corrections (specifically, gamma correction and color temperature correction) and software tuning to give you a display with consistent, accurate colors, no matter which ASUS product you are using.
ASUS Splendid has four one-click preset modes: Normal mode, Eye Care mode, Vivid mode and Manual mode. Normal mode gives you the factory-optimized settings, Eye Care mode reduces blue light levels for comfortable viewing, and Vivid mode cleverly adjusts the display settings to give images a really vibrant and vivid appearance, without making the colors look artificial. Manual mode gives you control over the color temperature setting, so you can adjust the display to suit your own needs and preferences.
By default, ASUS Splendid panels are setup to show the most accurate colors possible for the best viewing experience. But we realize that sometimes you might need to change this — for example to add a bit of a ‘Wow!’ factor to your photos or videos. For this reason, we’ve included three other selectable modes — Eye Care, Vivid and Manual — alongside the standard Normal mode.
ASUS-exclusive IceCool technology prevents heat build-up on the palm rest, keeping it within a temperature range of 28?C to 35?C. This is well below body temperature, giving you a much more comfortable and relaxing typing experience than conventional laptops.
The full-size, backlit, one-piece chiclet keyboard is a masterpiece of ergonomics, with an improved design featuring a long 1.5mm of key travel and minimal key float. The result? A solid feel and a more comfortable experience, even for those marathon typing sessions.
The raised and contoured design of UX306 is another thoughtful touch that reduces strain and improves comfort.
The highly-accurate touchpad on ZenBook UX306 features ASUS Smart Gesture technology for a more intuitive and natural feel, using many of the same Windows gestures you use on a touchscreen. The touchpad uses exclusive technology developed for smartphone touch screens to give high sensitivity and incredible accuracy.

ASUS Smart Gesture features intuitive Windows gesture controls to place everything at your fingertips. It's time to say goodbye to your mouse.
For the smoothest, most intuitive touchpad experience, ASUS has developed an exclusive technology called Smart Gesture that lets you use intuitive Windows gestures on the touchpad, making it much easier to navigate or control applications. Smart Gesture supports up to 4-finger gestures in Windows 10, so you can easily switch applications, open Cortana or the Action Center simply by tapping or swiping on the touchpad. Smart Gesture also includes clever palm-rejection technology experience so only your fingers do the controlling, not the rest of your hand. It's the easiest, most natural way to control your laptop — so say goodbye to your mouse!
Incredible sound has always been a feature of the ZenBook family. ASUS SonicMaster technology — tuned by the renowned ASUS Golden Ear team — uses a combination of precision engineering and software to deliver sound like you've never heard before from a laptop, with deep rich bass and crystal-clear vocals, even at the highest volume levels.
Whatever you're listening to, ZenBook makes it easy to achieve the perfect audio settings. The easy-to-use AudioWizard software includes five preset modes with settings that are optimized for different sound sources, so you can always enjoy the ultimate listening experience with a single click. Or if you prefer, you can take full control of the settings yourself and make it sound even more awesome!
ASUS cloud services provide a complete platform for online living, accessible anywhere from a host of devices. With ASUS WebStorage, convenience is the main priority, offering you easy storage, sharing, and syncing of everything from business presentations to photo albums and your favorite multimedia content. Each ZenBook comes with 16GB of WebStorage space free for one year.
