Zen AiO S deserves to be the computing centerpiece of any home or creative workspace, with full connectivity across all devices allowing it to become the ultimate digital hub for work or play.
A true masterpiece
Zen AiO S is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design, with a slim and elegant unibody shell forged from a solid block of anodized-aluminum, with a precision-crafted matching integral stand. The smooth, sophisticated appearance is enhanced by a layer of edge-to-edge glass covering the display, and the rear cover has a beautiful fine brushed-metal finish that perfectly complements the signature spun-metal Zen-inspired concentric circles on the front fascia.
Zen AiO S is a vision of elegance, finished in a stylish yet subtle Icicle Gold color that will add a touch of beauty to any space.
Extreme beauty, extreme performance
The extraordinary Zen AiO S is built to provide out-of-the-ordinary performance for discerning home users. Using the latest generation of quad-core Intel Core up to i7 processors, combined with up to 32 GB of the very latest DDR4 memory and lightning-fast up to PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD storage, Zen AiO S has power to spare for instant responsiveness and ultra-smooth and immersive entertainment.
Dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 gaming-grade graphics with up to a class-leading 4 GB of video memory ensure users can enjoy superb stutter-free high-resolution movies and videos in vivid, lifelike colors, or play even the very latest games at full resolution with high quality settings.
Zen AiO S is the world's first all-in-one PC to use the next-generation USB 3.1 Gen 2, which delivers blindingly-fast data transfers of up to 10 Gbit/s -twice as fast as USB 3.0, and over twenty times faster than USB 2.0. With these speeds, even the biggest data transfers take no time at all. Zen AiO S uses the latest USB 3.1 Type-C connector for improved ease of use - the connector is reversible, so it can't be inserted the wrong way round. And for all-device connectivity, Zen AiO S also has a full complement of 4 USB 3.0 ports plus a USB 2.0 port, along with the latest ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
Incredible sound, awesome entertainment
Zen AiO S is designed for the ultimate multimedia entertainment, with up to a stunning 4K/UHD 10-point multi-touch IPS display for vibrant, pin-sharp visuals that make every detail visible, along with wide viewing angles and ultra-responsive touch interactivity. Zen AiO S also has a color gamut of up to 100% sRGB, which ensures accurate, rich and vivid color reproduction.
The incredible audio system has a total of 6 speakers that deliver rich and clear full-range sound. Each 8-watt stereo channel uses three powerful speakers located at either side of Zen AiO S, giving fully-realistic stereo separation and a total of 16 watts of pure, undistorted sound for an amazingly-lifelike experience.
The state-of-the-art technology in Zen AiO S ensures an awesome entertainment experience, whether users are watching the latest blockbuster movie, enjoying games or simply relaxing with music.
New modes of PC interaction
Zen AiO S Z240IC features an amazingly-accurate Intel RealSense camera to add futuristic interactive capabilities. Accurate motion-sensing of people or objects in front of the camera is now possible, enabling previously-unimagined ways of interacting with a PC. For example, with precise 3D facial recognition, a user's face can become their login password, or families can just have fun interacting with the latest motion-controlled games. The possibilities with Zen AiO S are truly endless!

And with the exclusive ASUS HomeCloud, PC Link, Share Link and SyncUp apps, Zen AiO S can also act as a household cloud storage hub, allowing family members to organize their files and data on multiple mobile devices and access them instantly from anywhere, on any device.
ASUS HomeCloud allows users to create their very own personal cloud storage, with wireless file access from any mobile device. Zen AiO S users get a 100 GB ASUS WebStorage account free for one year, and HomeCloud can sync with this to create automatic off-site backups, or mirror user-selected files online.
