Starting from today, the ZenBook Edition 30 UX334 is available to buy at S$2,198. It features an Intel Core i7-8565U, 16GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce MX250, and a 1TB SSD. This notebook is clad in swanky white Italian leather and features a rose gold logo on its lid in 18-karat gold.

The diamond-cut edges are colored rose gold as well, and the subtle accents complement the white leather really well. ASUS has dubbed the white color Pearl White, and it's a pretty stark white when viewed in person.

In the words of ASUS chairman Jonney Shih, "every piece of genuine leather is hand-selected". On top of that, each panel cover is "meticulously sewed by a master tailor".
