The ASUS Zenbook series has grown significantly in recent years. They have made sure that they have a laptop for every lifestyle and profession. Now they are adding another stunning and incredible laptop to their range. A laptop made from sustainable materials.
The ASUS Zenbook S13 OLED (UX5304) is a compact laptop with a stylish design. In fact, it can be called the thinnest OLED laptop ever with an all-metal body. It’s also ultra-light at just 1kg, a true ASUS hallmark! Nobody does it better than ASUS when it comes to making lightweight and compact laptops!
As for sustainability, the Zenbook S13 OLED was designed with our environment in mind. Its energy efficiency exceeds ENERGY STAR by 43%, ensuring you can maximize performance even more on the go. In addition, it is designed to be climate neutral and is therefore made from recycled metals and plastics. The new materials are also environmentally friendly and consist of plasma ceramic aluminum. Thanks to the environmentally friendly production method, wear resistance, corrosion protection, heat management, hardness and overall service life have also been increased. At the end of its useful life, the plasma ceramic aluminum is then 100% recyclable.
ASUS really thought of everything with the Zenbook S13 OLED. Because the packaging was also produced sustainably. The cardboard packaging is made from responsible sources that are environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable. For this reason it received 100% FSCTM certification! In fact, if you scan the QR code included in the box, you will be redirected to a website where you can explore all the sustainable measures ASUS has taken in the development of its devices.
Despite being only 10.9mm thin, it comes with a 13th Gen Intel Core i7 1344U, Intel Iris X graphics and up to 1TB of storage. This guarantees that the Zenbook S13 OLED delivers uncompromised performance despite its ultra-thin and ultra-light body. In fact, the Zenbook S13 OLED is one of the devices that can compete with MacBook Air with M2 chip. In addition, it runs on the Windows 11 operating system, the most widely used computer operating system in the country, so you don’t have to spend time learning how to navigate the platform.
ASUS took advantage of its fast computing power and developed the ASUS Lumina OLED to partner with a powerful processor. The ASUS Lumina OLED is a technology that offers a superior visual experience with more accurate colors. With the ASUS Lumina OLED, the displays are more precise, more adaptable and more reliable than other OLED displays, making them the ultimate choice for professionals, gamers and entertainment enthusiasts who demand the best. In addition, the Zenbook S13 is OLED PANTONE validated, VESA DisplayHDR True Black certified and factory calibrated. So once you’ve unpacked it, you can expect stunning colors on your laptop’s screen. It’s also TUV certified for low blue light to ensure your eyes are protected from overexposure to blue light.
For hardware connectivity, the Zenbook S13 OLED has an audio combo jack—always a welcome feature on any device these days—a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, and two (2) Thunderbolts -4 USB-C ports.
The keyboard keys are noticeably wider than on previous Zenbook 13 laptops. So if you’re used to the keyboard of previous Zenbook S13 models, you might need some time to get used to the wider keys of the Zenbook S13 OLED (UX5304). Also worth noting is the placement of the power button and delete button. The power button is now located after the delete button in the upper right corner. This will help you avoid accidental laptop shutdown. This is a great move as previous Zenbook S13 laptops are prone to accidental power button presses. Interestingly, the keyboard’s keycaps are made from post-consumer recycled plastic.
At the bottom of the keyboard is a slightly larger ErgoSense touchpad, an upgrade from the ErgoSense touchpads found on previous ASUS Zenbook models. It features a hydrophobic and premium PVD anti-fingerprint coating that keeps it looking clean and new. The texture is very smooth and allows a comfortable use over a longer period of time.
The Zenbook S13 OLED is powered by a 63 Wh battery that can offer a battery life of up to 14 hours. The laptop also supports USB-C Easy Charge, so the laptop can be charged
via a wide range of standard USB-C chargers you may have laying around. You can also enjoy ultra-fast charging with any Power Delivery-certified charger, including the 65-watt fast-charge adapter that comes with the ASUS Zenbook S13 OLED series, or devices can be charged on-the-go with airline chargers, portable chargers, or power banks.
Excellent audio quality is also one of the things people look for in a laptop. For this reason, it was a good move for ASUS to have the audio system of the ASUS Zenbook S13 OLED certified by Harman Kardon. This ensures that it offers the best sound for whatever type of content you choose to consume. With a Harman Kardon certification, you can rest assured that you’ll have louder volume, greater depth, and better surround sound effects compared to other similarly sized laptops.
The speakers of the Zenbook S13 OLED also have Dolby Atmos support, which makes for a completely new listening experience. It lets you listen to music, movies or podcasts in a detailed listening environment with perfect clarity and lifelike spatial separation. Offers a wide range of equalizer settings that you can customize or choose from the provided presets.
Overall the new ASUS Zenbook S13 OLED (UX5304) is not only a champion when it comes to computing power, excellent graphics and breathtaking sound, but also when it comes to sustainability. With its efforts to combat global warming, ASUS is setting the standard for how companies must manufacture their products while protecting our planet with the launch of the Zenbook S13 OLED.
