Jul 31, 2024

Are you a competitive person, always in pursuit of personal growth? Whether growing your career or personal interests, you will need the right tools to achieve your goals. Zenbook S 16 is a laptop designed for people just like you! Read on to find out more about this extraordinary laptop.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 is an elegant laptop with a high-quality design that’s apparent in its look and feel. Meticulously crafted, it combines practicality with aesthetics. Its universal, minimalistic look fits well into any setting. It’s available in two colors: calming Scandinavian White and nature-inspired Zumaia Gray.

The top cover of the laptop is made of Ceraluminum — a unique, nature-inspired material that combines the toughness and lightness of aluminum with the look and feel of a stone-like ceramic surface, resulting in an elegant, unique aesthetic with the added benefit of increased scratch-resistance.

The laptop is outstandingly compact — especially for a 16-inch machine. It’s only 1.1 cm thin and weighs a mere 1.5 kg1. These design feats are possible largely thanks to the unique CNC machining process used in production. The precision laser-cutting of sheet metal allows for maximized use of space within the laptop chassis. By utilizing CNC machining and a Unibody integrated molding process, ASUS engineers managed to fit powerful components, robust cooling, and a strong, long-lasting battery into the thin body ― while also giving the laptop its refined finish quality and sleek, modern look.

An added benefit of these production processes is because the laptop’s main part is made of a single sheet of metal, the laptop chassis is more rigid and durable. The precise CNC machining process also allows the laptop to be fitted with a 40% larger, precise touchpad with a 16:10 ratio and long click travel, making it a pleasure to use.

Inside this ultracompact, lightweight chassis is the latest powerful CPU from AMD — the AMD Ryzen™ Strix Point series Ryzen™ R9 CPU with a dedicated AI processor (NPU) and integrated AMD Radeon™ graphics. Accompanying the powerful CPU are up to 32 GB of fast memory and up to 1 TB of storage to help you breeze through daily tasks and store whatever you like. The combination of the powerful CPU, integrated GPU and dedicated NPU is what makes our ASUS AI simply intelligent like never before.

The CPU in the ASUS Zenbook S 16 features dedicated AI processing cores, aka a neural processing unit (NPU). This means that the laptop is well-prepared to handle AI work, such as taking advantage of the Microsoft Copilot AI assistant, utilizing generative AI apps and functionalities, or performing more complex AI tasks that utilize machine learning and predictive analytics.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 is a next-level AI PC. That means that it features all the latest AI-powered functionalities. Along with Copilot functions such as suggestions in snap layout, live translations, Copilot memories, live cocreator in paint, and other creative functions, ASUS Zenbook S 16 is equipped with a broad lineup of proprietary ASUS AI-powered features. One such feature is the ASUS AI Two-Way Noise Cancelation, working hand-in-hand with three microphones, further boosts video-calling experiences by intelligently clearing out all the background noise so your voice is crisp and clear, wherever you are.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 also comes with the new ASUS AI-powered app, StoryCube — an innovative one-stop smart file management solution that helps you import and export, as well as catalog and search through your files.

In addition, the touchpad features intuitive, smart gestures such as video navigation, manipulating sound and brightness levels, and launching ScreenXpert Control Center, making for a smartphone-like user experience.

The ASUS Zenbook S 16’ thermal limit reaches 28 watts. How does a laptop this thin and light achieve this? It’s all in the design. A unique geometric 3D grille design on the top part of the laptop’s main body is more than a modern look: its perforations increase airflow, making things airy while keeping the overall structure rigid. This great-looking, innovative design feature works hand in hand with other thermal components to ensure better heat dissipation thanks to the increase in perforation ratio enabled by the vents — which offer a remarkable 19% bump in airflow, compared to traditional designs! Thanks to optimal placement, heat escapes the laptop before it reaches most touched surfaces.

Underneath the grille is the robust cooling system, featuring a dual-fan IceBlades system as well as a 3D-curved vapor chamber. This unique solution utilizes cooling liquid and vapor inside of the laptop’s chassis, connecting key laptop parts and moving the hot air out of the laptop chassis up to 2-times more effectively than commonly used heat pipes.

The result is an impressive 28-Watt TDP in performance mode with minimized noise (under 25 dB in Standard mode) — or, to translate into user-experience terms, it results in a laptop that is cool to the touch and performing at its peak while staying silent.

The ASUS Zenbook S 16 features a stunning 3K ASUS Lumina OLED HDR display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 90% screen-to-body ratio for increased productivity space. The screen delivers up to 550 nits and is Pantone® Validated for color accuracy, ensuring lifelike imagery and color in every setting.

To accompany the amazing image is the clear, crisp sound of 6 speakers (two tweeters and four woofers), certified by the audio experts at Harman Kardon. The speakers deliver exceptional sound clarity, free of distortion, with boosted bass. The multi-dimensional Dolby Atmos® sound makes for an immersive experience every time, even without a headset. In addition, the ASUS proprietary Smart Amp algorithm makes the sound 3.5-times louder.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 comes equipped with top-notch privacy and security features. This starts at the hardware level, with the inclusion of the Microsoft Pluton security processor in the CPU, which protects credentials, identities, personal data, encryption keys, and code integrity. You also have the option to enable the core isolation function — a feature that provides another layer of security by allowing you to isolate certain computer processes from your operating system and device. In addition, you will have access to the Windows passkeys function for secure storage of your passwords, accessible via Windows Hello, making authentication and login processes faster while maintaining top-notch security.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 also features the ASUS AiSense camera, which comes equipped with privacy-enhancing functions. Along with enabling Windows Hello login — an authentication process that utilizes biometric data of your face to allow for a fast and secure login ― it offers Adaptive Dimming and Adaptive Lock. The AiSense camera identifies when you turn away from your computer or completely leave it, automatically either dimming the screen to protect onscreen content or locking it while you’re away.
