ASUS Zenbook S 16
New Zen with superior AI
Zenbook S 16 is the first ultrathin 16-inch new-era ASUS AI PC, combining performance with sophistication. It has been completely redesigned from the inside out. The chassis incorporates our exquisite new Ceraluminum, a high-tech ceramic in a range of nature-inspired colors. It provides the characteristics of hardness while completing the ultra-slim design and withstands the test of time.
This new-era ASUS AI PC harnesses the latest AMD Ryzen AI processor, enhanced by quiet ambient cooling. It’s designed to enrich your on-the-go lifestyle, with an astonishingly thin 1.1 cm chassis housing an advanced 16-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display and immersive six-speaker audio.

The Zenbook S16 completed the tests in no time at all, the image quality measurements revealed an AAA display and it offered a very long battery life. It also has fast Wi-Fi 7, a card reader and plenty of SSD and RAM. It's a shame that the RAM can't be swapped out. But that's a side note...
