ASUS Zenbook S13 OLED: The 1kg Wonder

Have you ever wondered about a laptop so lightweight that when you slip it into your backpack or briefcase, its presence is barely noticeable? Perhaps, a laptop even thinner than some of the pens in your collection? Some of you might think of the MacBook Air as the solution, but what if you're a Windows fanboy and the thought of switching to a MacBook isn't even on your radar? Clueless, right? ASUS, known for its fearless integration of cutting-edge tech, brings you the Zenbook S13 OLED (UX5304), which is the perfect answer for all of these questions. It is a laptop that's anything but ordinary.
The ASUS Zenbook S13 OLED (UX5304) is a compact and ultralight laptop tailored for those who crave supreme portability. This 13.3-inch laptop boasts an elegant 1cm thickness at its slimmest point and tips the scales at a mere 1kg. Even the 13.3 and 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air models are heftier by over 200g. ASUS has undertaken a comprehensive overhaul of its compact 13-inch Zenbook S13 OLED ultrabook, with a primary focus on delivering a lighter and sleeker device to the market. This is now touted as the world's thinnest 13.3-inch OLED ultrabook.

In addition to the fresh design, the lid features a brand-new material. The case is crafted from aluminium, and it's coated with a layer of plasma ceramic. This cutting-edge surface tech offers several advantages, such as enhanced durability against wear and corrosion. In everyday use, the slightly textured surface also has the bonus of staying fingerprint-free.
Despite its slim and thin design, the Zenbook S13 OLED packs a punch when it comes to performance. In this redesign, ASUS has made a notable move by swapping out the impressive AMD processor found in last year's model for the latest Raptor Lake chip from Intel. It harnesses the formidable might of the 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, boasting a whopping 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a blazing-fast 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD. Say goodbye to sluggish boot times and sluggish file transfers - this laptop ensures a seamless computing experience. Plus, it's equipped with a 63 Wh battery that'll keep you entertained with a solid 14 hours of non-stop video playback.

Shifting the focus to the screen, the Zenbook S13 OLED flaunts a striking 16:10 2.8K ASUS Lumina OLED display, complete with Dolby Vision, measuring a cool 13.9 inches diagonally. This isn't your run-of-the-mill laptop screen; it's here to redefine your visual experience. With a jaw-dropping 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a blazing peak brightness of up to 550 nits, and an almost unbelievable 0.0005 nits of deep black brilliance, this screen is a creator's dream.
But it's not just about the numbers; it's about the magic of OLED technology. Get ready for mind-blowing colour accuracy, ink-like blacks, and visuals so vibrant they practically pop out of the screen. Whether you're binge-watching your favourite TV shows, perfecting your photo edits, or casually scrolling through the internet, the Zenbook S13 OLED screen isn't just a display; it's an enchanting visual journey.
But wait, there's more! ASUS has managed to pull off an impressive 92% screen-to-body ratio on the Zenbook S13 OLED, all thanks to its NanoEdge display. Those ultra-slim bezels aren't just for show; they maximise your screen real estate, giving you a broader view while keeping the laptop super sleek. It's not just a style choice; it's a game-changer for your visual experience.
