The Asus Zenbook S16, a sleek and lightweight laptop weighing just 1.5 kg (3.34 lbs), is now available at Best Buy with a tempting 14% discount. This premium notebook, known for its thin aluminum body and stunning OLED screen, is perfect for those seeking a blend of elegance and power.
This year, AMD introduced the Zen 5-based Strix Point APUs, generating a lot of excitement among tech enthusiasts. Asus quickly capitalized on this by incorporating the cutting-edge Ryzen AI 9 365 Strix Point APU into the Asus Zenbook S16 and Vivobook S14. The Zenbook S16 stands out as the more high-end option, catering to users who need a versatile machine for both productivity and multimedia.
The on-sale Asus Zenbook S16 impresses with its robust specifications: 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a 1 TB Gen 4 SSD, and a 16-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1800p. The screen, refreshing at 120 Hz, supports touch and stylus input, covers the full DCI-P3 color gamut, and boasts an impressive 500 nits of advertised brightness.
Our tests confirmed Asus’ claims about this remarkable OLED panel. It delivered an average brightness of 391 nits, peaking at 500 nits in HDR mode. The screen also showed excellent color coverage with full sRGB, DCI-P3, and 95% AdobeRGB, making it ideal for both editing and entertainment. The characteristic high contrast and out-of-the-box color accuracy of OLED displays further enhance its appeal.
One of the standout features of the Zenbook S16 is its battery life, which impressively lasted for 12 hours in our WLAN test.
In summary, if you’re in the market for a thin and light Windows laptop that doesn’t compromise on display quality or performance, the Asus Zenbook S16 is a compelling choice.
