  • The laptop features an Italian leather lid cover and a secondary display in the trackpad.
  • The laptop is available now through Asus for $1,400.

This is yet another laptop from Asus that features the ScreenPad 2.0. The technology combines the laptop's trackpad with a secondary display that can be used for quick actions and interacting with apps. It can also run apps directly, such as a calculator built by Asus. In addition to working well with apps, ScreenPad 2.0 can also be used for handwriting input and as a number pad.

Asus has several laptops that feature a ScreenPad 2.0, including the ZenBook 14 and 15, though none of them have a leather trim like the ZenBook 13 Edition 30.

The ZenBook 13 Edition 30 has a 95 percent screen-to-body ratio thanks to its thin bezels. It runs on an 8th generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor and has an NVIDIA GeForce MX 250 inside. It has 16GB of RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD and support for gigabit-class Wi-Fi 5.

The ZenBook 13 Edition 30 is available now exclusively through Asus for $1,400.
