Reviews for the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED

80% Asus Zenbook S13 OLED review: Sleek and powerful
Source: The Indian Express
At Rs 99,900, the Asus Zenbook S13 OLED is certainly not an ‘affordable’ laptop. This is meant for someone who does not mind paying a premium for a laptop with the best specifications and a stylish form factor. Get the Zenbook S13 OLED if you want an ultra-light and powerful laptop in the Windows world. This one doesn’t disappoint on that front.

The ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED is a great laptop, and there isn’t much bad things about it either. If you’re looking for a lightweight laptop with high performance capabilities, then look no further. Anything more than that and you will need to find one with a discrete GPU.

The Asus ZenBook S 13 OLED lives up to its name – its OLED display is stunning, with huge quality and clarity. Beyond that, this laptop is slim, light and has a great keyboard. Its battery life impresses, and it’s got the power for multi-tasking and mainstream creative work. Its price even undercuts most rivals. That’s not to say the Apple MacBook Air M2, Dell XPS 13 and other rivals are without their charms. Apple’s machine is faster. The Dell XPS 13 is slimmer than the Asus and it has Thunderbolt, and the XPS 13 Plus is available with faster processors and OLED panels. There’s no doubt that the ZenBook is a great competitor, though – easily able to stand alongside those other laptops. Its great screen, solid internals and lengthy battery life make this an excellent ultraportable.

Designed for the computer user on the go, the Asus Zenbook can handle anything except for the most intensive gaming functions. The full size keyboard, slim profile and strong processing capabilities make this ultrabook a very good choice for anyone who is looking for a versatile computing option.

90% AMD Ryzen 7 6800U Review – with ASUS ZenBook S 13 OLED
Source: Kitguru
The most notable downside that I see with the Ryzen 7 6800U is that its media consumption capabilities are still not as good as they should be. Intel’s competing solutions even from as far back as 10th Gen Ice Lake have better capabilities with real-world media types in my own testing. And even in isolation, the inability to play 8K60 content from YouTube is not really a great showing for a 2022 market where 8K60 video output genuinely is not unreasonable. Still, there’s plenty to like from the Ryzen 7 6800U; excellent power efficiency delivers excellent battery life, and that efficiency also allows the powerful chip to be squeezed inside alluring, ultraportable laptops such as this sub-15mm, 1kg ASUS ZenBook S 13 OLED. The ASUS laptop is glorious – they’ve done a really good job at deploying high-end hardware that is fitting of the highly-competent Ryzen processor. Ample Type-C connectivity, impending USB4 support, a 2.8K OLED touch display – this laptop ticks many boxes.

100% Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED is one of the best laptops I’ve ever reviewed. Its cutting-edge AMD chip is super-speedy, even capable of playing games, while the high-resolution OLED display is breathtaking for video. Its fans can get irritatingly loud under strain, and the lack of USB-A ports is irksome – but those are minor blemishes on an otherwise fantastic all-rounder laptop.

85% Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED review: Good things come in small packages
Source: India Today
If you have come this far, you know that the Zenbook S 13 OLED is best suitable for business and creative professionals who want performance without any compromise on the battery life. Add to it the OLED screen, which is sharp and offers accurate colours. Design is usually subjective and, if you ask me, I really like the overall design. I do wish for an SD card slot, considering the laptop’s target audience. A less powerful version of Ryzen 7 6800U, with no high refresh rate display and no dedicated graphics, is a clear sign that the laptop is not a go-to gaming machine. However, you too, like me, can do some casual gaming on the Zenbook S 13 OLED. If you want a macOS alternative for a similar use case, there is the new MacBook Air M2 coming soon. Apple has already unveiled the MacBook Air M2 and it is expected to go on sale soon in India. The Air M2 is priced at Rs 1,19,900 for the base configuration. However, we still have not reviewed the laptop, so there’s no easy recommendation as yet for that one. The generation-old M1 MacBook Air is still up for grabs but we would suggest waiting for the M2 MacBook Air since it comes with a bunch of upgrades over the outgoing model.

Review – ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED UM5302: Another near-perfect laptop, but for different reasons
Source: NLT
So in conclusion. Previously, I called the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX5402 with the Intel Core i7-1260P a “near-perfect” laptop. Then, is the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED UM5302 the perfect laptop? Well, not exactly. As an ultrabook, the performance is absolutely magnificent. I’d say it’s at the top of its class, especially for an x86 chip that only consumes 28W. The build quality is something that you may or may not prefer since it’s lighter in weight, and it also has a 60Hz touchscreen OLED. Honestly, for me, I’ll pick this Zenbook S 13 OLED UM5302 over the other laptop. This suits my usage behavior more. For the local availability, the Zenbook S 13 OLED UM5302 is priced at RM5,999 for the exact same configuration that we are reviewing, and there are no other configurations available. I think the price is just too hefty. And that’s all we have to share with you. This is a magnificent laptop.

The ZenBook S 13 is a more compelling ultrabook than any of its 13-inch ZenBook predecessors before, and one of the best-value ultraportables available as of mid-2022. That's partially a consequence of the multiple improvements that Asus brought to this design, as well as of the implementation of the excellent AMD Ryzen 6000 hardware platform, even if it doesn't run at its full potential in this compact and power-limited chassis.

We’ll know more once we get a final review unit with the finalized BIOS and software. We’ll be able to have a better picture of the power settings, overall performance, and the noise/thermals of this configuration. Based on what I’m seeing so far, this ZenBook S 13 is going to be an excellent ultrabook, quiet and efficient with daily use, and a competent performer for its class when needed. I’m not entirely happy with Asus pushing their OLED panels so aggressively, though, and no longer offering any IPS options. This OLED screen sure looks awesome, but I’m mostly using my laptop outside when traveling, so I preffer an anti-glare matte finishing, as well as the hassle-free experience of a proper IPS panel. The other potential deal-breaker for me is the USB-C only IO, as I preffer having at least access to an USB-A port without requiring an adapter. The previous ZenBook 13 offers a USB-A port and a full-size HDMI, but this 2022 model does not. Still, if these aren’t bothering you and you are in the market for a versatile 13-inch ultraportable, then the Asus ZenBook S 13 UM5302 could be the one for you.

AMD Radeon 680M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 6000 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA2 architecture with 12 CUs (= 768 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 2.4 GHz.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

R7 6800U: Mobile Octa-Core APU using Zen 3+ cores clocked at 2.7 to 4.7 GHz and a RDNA2 graphics adapter with 12 CUs clocked at up to 2,200 MHz. The TDP is specified at 15 - 28 Watts.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

88.23%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
