ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED
ASUS has just revealed the world’s slimmest OLED ultralight laptop, the Zenbook S 13 OLED (UX5304). This laptop takes the brand’s signature qualities of ultraportable design, sustainability, and on-the-go performance to a whole new level. With a super-slim profile of only 1cm and a weight of 1kg, the Zenbook S 13 OLED delivers no-compromise performance, connectivity, and battery life, making it the epitome of ultraportable design.
The Zenbook S 13 OLED is finished in brand-new Basalt Gray or classic Ponder Blue and incorporates recycled metals and plastics in its construction, along with an FSCTM Mix-certified packaging. This makes it the most eco-friendly Zenbook model that ASUS has ever produced. The device is also EPEAT Gold registered, meaning it has a positive environmental impact across the entire product lifecycle, from material use and manufacturing, through to assembly, use, and end of life.
The Zenbook series is known for delivering unrivaled on-the-go performance, and the Zenbook S 13 OLED is no exception. It harnesses the power of up to 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processors with 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe® 4.0 x4 SSD, with a full set of I/O ports for on-the-go connections, and a long-lasting 63 Wh battery.
For immersive true-to-life visuals, the Zenbook S 13 OLED boasts a gorgeous 16:10 2.8K (2880 x 1800) ASUS Lumina OLED display that’s Dolby Vision certified, with Pantone Validated color rendering and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. This ensures incredible detail and the deepest black levels. The display is also certified for eye care by TÜV Rheinland and SGS with 70% lower blue-light emissions, making it comfortable for even long viewing sessions.
In terms of design and construction, the Zenbook S 13 OLED uses several advanced techniques and materials to reduce weight and dimensions compared to the previous generation, without compromising performance, connectivity, or battery life. This includes embedded thinner yet fully-featured FHD IR camera directly into the CNC-machined lid, circuit boards with fewer layers, and a higher wiring density, with many more transistors, resulting in a laptop that’s 25% slimmer than its predecessor.
In conclusion, the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED is the perfect blend of performance and portability. It’s designed to meet the needs of professionals and students who are always on-the-go, seeking a laptop that’s easy to carry and can handle heavy workloads. The laptop will be available in Malaysia by mid-May, priced at RM4,999 for the Intel Core i5 variant and RM5,999 for the Intel Core i7 variant.
Pokdepinion: I honestly thought it would come with a higher price tag, this is actually pretty good given what you’re getting, at least on paper. We’ll find out for sure if we get to review it so stay tuned for that.
