ASUS Zenbook Infinity: The World's First Ultrabook with a Lid made from Corning Gorilla Glass 3!

ASUS recently unveiled the new Zenbook Infinity Ultrabook. Zenbook Infinity features a beautiful new design that fuses glass and aluminum 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.

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 an incredible 14% thinner than the previous generation Zenbook. By incorporating Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance (NDR) on the outer lid and keyboard surround, Zenbook Infinity attains a dazzling 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% reduction in the number of highly visible scratches with a 40% 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 gains a beautifully clean and smooth exterior that’s more resistant to the harsh realities of mobile life than notebooks that use more traditional materials.

The ASUS Zenbook Infinity is scheduled for launch in Q3 2013 and full specifications will be released later in the year.
