Out of all the major PC brands at Computex this year, Asus had the most to reveal. The Taiwanese OEM announced new models across its entire lineup ranging from the cheap VivoBook S14 all the way up to a patent pending liquid metal thermal paste application process for its ROG G703. Now that Computex is behind us, Asus is ready to cut prices on some older systems to make room for the newer models.
From now until July 9, the Asus ZenBook 13 UX333FA will be $100 off on Amazon for a final retail price of $900 USD. Users may need to apply the code '100ONZENBOOK' at checkout to receive the discount. When considering that the SKU includes a Whiskey Lake-U Core i7 CPU with 16 GB of RAM in a flagship narrow bezel design, the new price is not a bad deal. Configuring the Dell XPS 13 9370 for the same price would yield only a Core i5 CPU with just 4 GB of RAM for worse multi-tasking performance.
The biggest limitation to keep in mind is that the ZenBook 13 UX333FA offers no Thunderbolt 3 or touchscreen options. It does, however, offer a full-size USB Type-A port not found on the XPS 13 9370.
The ZenBook 13 UX333 is set to be replaced by the ZenBook 13 UX334 launching in late July. See our full review on the UX333FA for our take on the system.

Fremont, California (June 10, 2019) — ASUS today announced an Amazon-exclusive deal on the ZenBook 13 (UX333FA-AB77). This thin and light laptop introduced the stunning new frameless NanoEdge display, which features ultraslim bezels on all four sides and an incredible up to 95% screen-to-body ratio for a near-borderless viewing experience. The NanoEdge display also allows for a much more compact design, giving the ZenBook 13 one the smallest footprints in its class. The ZenBook 13 (UX333FA-AB77) is available for $100 off from June 10th to July 9th, exclusively at Amazon, using the code 100ONZENBOOK. This ZenBook also includes the new NumberPad, an innovative productivity enhancement that provides a full-size LED-illuminated numeric keypad built into the touchpad. In addition, a special 3D IR camera allows fast face login using Windows Hello, even in low-light environments. The combination of performance and mobility is a defining feature of the ZenBook series, and the ZenBook UX333FA-AB77 features a full complement of high-performance components including 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core CPU, Intel UHD Graphics 620 GPU, and 16GB RAM plus ultrafast PCIe® SSDs and gigabit-class Wi-Fi. |
Ultraportable, redefined The result is simply breathtaking: the near-borderless visuals deliver a more immersive viewing experience with less visual distraction, making ZenBook the perfect choice for on-the-go creativity or entertainment. Complementing the groundbreaking new design, the traditional ZenBook style and elegance is apparent at a glance. The iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish is featured on the lid in a Royal Blue finish; newly enhanced with a contrasting Rose Gold trim bar above the keyboard for an extra touch of luxury. |
No-compromise productivity All models feature an advanced 3D infrared (IR) camera, with see-in-the-dark capabilities to ensure fast, reliable hands-free face login with Windows Hello — even in dimly-lit environments. Unlike some designs with awkwardly placed cameras, the ZenBook’s camera is located on the slim top bezel of the NanoEdge display — yet another thoughtful design detail. Advanced voice-recognition capabilities on the new ZenBook series means users can be entertained, informed, and organized simply by speaking to Alexa or Cortana. Alexa is a cloud-based voice service that helps users with tasks, entertainment, general information, and more. Using Alexa is as simple as asking a question. Just ask to play music, read the news, control a smart home, tell a joke, and more — Alexa will respond instantly. When working on the go, it’s vital to be able to connect with anything and everything. The new ZenBook features a USB Type-C™ (USB-C™) port for any-way-up connections and superfast USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gbps3) data transfers, and there's also a range of other USB ports, including USB Type-A (up to 5Gbps or 10Gbps) and/or USB 2.04. The ZenBook also includes an HDMI port and a microSD and SD card reader, so it’s easy to connect to all your current and future peripherals. With any ZenBook, comfort is one of the top design priorities. The ZenBook 13 goes the extra mile with the exclusive ErgoLift hinge, an engineering masterpiece designed to automatically tilt the keyboard to the most comfortable typing position. But that’s not all: the carefully calculated tilt improves cooling and audio performance, too. |
Unbounded performance Mobile professionals need to stay connected — at the fastest speed possible. The ZenBook 13 features gigabit-class Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® 5.0 lets users access all the benefits of the latest low-power peripherals and accessories. Designed for non-stop, on-the-go lifestyles, the ZenBook series gives users the freedom to work all day on a single battery charge — up to an impressive 13 hours5. |
Ultratough: Military-grade durability AVAILABILITY AND PRICING The ZenBook 13 (UX333FA-AB77) is now available at a starting MSRP of $999.99 but is available for $100 off, exclusively at Amazon, from June 10 to July 9, 2019; using the code: 100ONZENBOOK. |
