ASUS' elite ZenBook range was developed in 2011 as the company's thinnest and lightest laptops, created using the latest technologies and using premium materials like anodized aluminum alloys. During the first ZenBook's inception, the engineers wanted a minimalist design based on Zen principles that would evoke a sense of 'comfort' and 'balance'. In search for these, the engineers drew inspiration from a Swiss watch and Japanese Zen garden.

They designed the ZenBook's tapering lid and keyboard sections to look like the slender, elegant hands of a mechanical watch when viewed from their side profiles; and the hairline concentric circles etched on the surface of their lids to mimic the raked gravel circles of a calming Zen garden. The ZenBook series always had a thin-and-light clamshell model with integrated graphics; and this, the ZenBook UX330, is the latest in this 'Essential' ZenBook series.
