“A closer look at ASUS’ special edition ZenBook and ZenFone 6”

One look at either of the two products and you’ll know how important the devices are to ASUS’ portfolio. For instance, the ZenBook Edition 30 has been constructed using a mix of leather and metal, which exudes luxury from the get-go. In fact, the company’s insignia on the notebook employs 18-karat rose gold, which compliments the pearl white Italian leather exterior really well. What’s more, buyers opting for the ZenBook Edition 30 will not have to worry about pairing it with matching accessories, as ASUS also showcased a host of premium devices to go along with its latest notebook, including a Pearl White mouse, a leather-clad box and mouse pad and a genuine-leather sleeve.

And, since it’s a ZenBook, the laptop also offers the smallest footprint in its class, thanks to its NanoEdge display which canvases 95 percent of the device’s frame. There’s also the company’s ScreenPad tech bundled with the unit, which allows buyers to do more with the laptop’s trackpad. It’s a pretty speedy machine too, and buyers can spec it with Intel’s Core i7 quad-core CPU, as well as Nvidia’s MX250 graphics. Suffice it to say, the company’s ZenBook Edition 30 is a special laptop, for a special, momentous moment.

Coming to the smartphone, the ZenFone 6 Edition 30 makes use of the company’s iconic concentric circle finish, which is found on the brand’s pricey, luxurious laptops. Since it’s a beautiful design and you wouldn’t want it to get dirty, the company has also opted to use a matte finish for the phone’s back panel. And then, there are the specs. The ZenFone 6 Edition 30 is ASUS’ most powerful Android smartphone and unlike the standard model, the device ships with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The rest of the specs of the phone remain the same as the standard ZenFone 6 (first impressions). That means the device ships with a Snapdragon 855 processor along with an articulating dual rear camera setup with Sony’s 48MP IMX586 sensor as its main lens. Finally, staying in line with the ‘30′ theme, the company stated that it’ll make only 3,000 units of the Zenfone 6 Edition 30, and that the handset will get a 30-month warranty.
