If you’ve been waiting for a premium OLED ultrabook at a bargain, this is the moment. The Asus Zenbook S 14 is down to $839.99 at Best Buy, a hefty 40% off its original MSRP, bringing flagship visuals and next‑gen Intel performance to a much friendlier price.
This 14-inch OLED touchscreen is built for creators and power users who care about color and clarity. You get a sharp 2,880 × 1,800 resolution, a buttery-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, full DCI-P3 color coverage, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification for inky blacks and punchy HDR highlights. It’s the kind of panel that makes photo work, video streaming, and day-to-day browsing look exceptional.
Under the hood, the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 256V from the Lunar Lake family pairs four performance cores (up to 4.8 GHz) with four low-power efficiency cores. The integrated Arc 140V graphics leverage Battlemage architecture for a noticeable uplift in everyday graphics tasks and light creative workloads. It’s matched with 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5X-8533 memory and a fast 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, giving you snappy multitasking and ample storage out of the box.
Connectivity is thoroughly modern: two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports (40 Gbps with DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery), a 10 Gbps USB-A port for legacy gear, HDMI 2.1 TMDS for external displays, and a 3.5 mm combo jack. Wireless is equally future-proof, with Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 on board for low-latency connections and high-speed networking.
Despite the power, the Zenbook S 14 stays impressively portable. The durable Ceraluminum chassis measures 12.22 × 8.45 × 0.51 inches and weighs just 2.65 lb (1.2 kg), making it ideal for commuting or campus life. A 72 Wh battery paired with 65 W USB‑C charging helps deliver long unplugged sessions and quick top-ups.
A couple of notes before you buy: there’s no SD card reader, and the RAM is not user-upgradable due to the on-package design. If you can live with those trade-offs, this machine delivers a compelling mix of display quality, performance, and portability that’s hard to match at this price.
Who it’s great for:
– Creators and students who want a color-accurate 2.8K OLED touchscreen with a fast 120 Hz refresh rate
– Professionals who need Thunderbolt 4, Wi‑Fi 7, and a lightweight chassis for work on the go
– Anyone seeking a quiet, efficient ultraportable with strong battery life and a roomy 1 TB SSD
At $839.99, the Asus Zenbook S 14 stands out as one of the best ultrabook deals available right now. Pricing and availability can change quickly, so consider jumping on it if it checks your boxes.
