Intel’s much-anticipated Lunar Lake processors are here, and Malaysians will first have the new ASUS Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) featuring the new Core Ultra (Series 2) chip onboard.

The new Zenbook S 14 will comes in one configuration only (in two colors, Zumaia Gray and Scandinavian White) – Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor, 32GB on-package LPDDR5X-8533 RAM, 3K OLED display, 1TB SSD, Wi-Fi 7, and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports. The processor’s onboard graphics, now named Arc 140V, should pack a decent punch for light gaming and be competitive against AMD’s current-best, the Radeon 800M series.
Like its sister model, the Zenbook S 16, both feature an ultra-thin 1.1cm profile and shares most of the physical appearance, including the proprietary Ceraluminum material. The Zenbook S 14 tips the scales at 1.2kg, and packs a slightly smaller 72Wh battery compared to the 16-inch counterpart. ASUS also touts its ultra-quiet fans capable of cooling the chip up to 28W TDP, and from our testing of the 16-inch model we can confirm it should be as good on the 14-inch model.

The Zenbook S 14 is now available for purchase nationwide, with the sole configuration priced at RM6,999. From now until the end of September, customers who purchase the laptop on ASUS MY eStore are eligible for an exclusive bundle featuring Sony Wireless Neckband Speaker, ASUS Marshmallow Mouse and 1-year Extended Warranty (worth RM947).
Pokdepinion: I expect long battery runtimes with this one.
