Asus launches a laptop with a built-in perfume dispenser

Asus launches the unique Adol Book 14 laptop with a built-in perfume dispenser, offering impressive specs and a touch of fragrance.

You might think youโ€™ve seen it all in the world of laptops, but Asus has come up with something unique. The recently launched Adol Book 14 isnโ€™t just any ordinary laptop. At first glance, it looks similar to the Zenbook 14 OLED that Asus already offers, but with a lovely new lilac colour option. However, what sets it apart is the perfume dispenser built into the lid.

A collaboration with Anna Sui

Adol Book 14 results from a collaboration between Asus and the beauty brand Anna Sui. This partnership is evident in several design features. Youโ€™ll notice etched edges on the corner of the trackpad, a butterfly motif on the vital deck, and a small logo engraved on the laptopโ€™s lid. Even the space bar has a unique touch with “Live Your Dream” etched. While these details are delightful, the perfume pod in the lid is undoubtedly the main attraction.

Asus has made a few different scents available for the perfume pod. The pods resemble those used in scented air purifiers. They donโ€™t have a fan to disperse the scent, so they release it naturally over time. You can easily replace the pod in the lid, designed separately from the laptopโ€™s aluminium body.

Impressive specs

Beyond the unique perfume feature, the Adol Book 14 is a powerful laptop. Itโ€™s essentially a Zenbook 14 OLED, priced at just under US$1,000. It boasts an AMD Ryzen 9 8945H processor, 1 TB of storage, and 32 GB of memory. The display is a 2.8K OLED with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Along with the laptop, you get a branded mouse, a carrying bag, and a bottle of Anna Suiโ€™s Wishing Elf perfume.

Availability

However, donโ€™t expect to see Adol Book 14 widely available. Based on the current conversion rate, Asus is currently offering it for presale exclusively in China for about US$969. If youโ€™re keen on the specs but not the perfume dispenser, you can opt for the Zenbook 14 OLED or upgrade to the new Zenbook S 16. Both models are highly regarded as some of the best laptops available today.
