Deal | Slim Asus Zenbook S 16 laptop with 120 Hz OLED panel enjoys $300 discount vs list price
The Asus Zenbook S 16 was the first Windows laptop to release with the then-latest AMD Strix Point APUs. The laptop combines Zen 5 power with a sophisticated “Ceraluminum” chassis and a high-refresh 120 Hz OLED display. The capable hardware makes for what we called “one of the best all-around laptops” in our review.
As such, the Asus Zenbook S 16 is an excellent choice for people who need a multimedia machine that can also be used for both work and play. Making it an even better option, Best Buy has now cut the Asus Zenbook S 16 price by a massive $300 vs the list price, resulting in a final price of just $1,099.99 (linked at the end of the article).
Asus Zenbook S 16 OLED is slim and long-lasting
The main qualities that make the Asus Zenbook S 16 stand out from the crowd of Windows laptops are the notebook’s thin yet sturdy body, a stunning 120 Hz OLED display, Zen 5-powered Ryzen AI 9 365 APU with a capable Radeon 880M iGPU, and long battery life.
Taking a closer look at the display, the Asus Zenbook S 16 features a 16-inch OLED panel with a 3K resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and 100% DCI-P3 converge. Our measurements showed an average brightness of 400 nits that can go has high as 525 nits in HDR. The display also doesn’t need any end-user calibration. So, whether you are watching movies, editing videos, or playing games, the Asus Zenbook S 16 will impress.
Talking about playing games, the 10-core Ryzen AI 9 365 and 24 GB of fast LPDDR5 memory should make the Zenbook S 16 feel snappy in all workloads. Thanks to the Radeon 880M, the laptop can also be used for some light gaming as shown by a more than 100 FPS result in our Prince of Persia The Last Crown testing.
Finally, despite measuring just 11-13 mm thin and weighing 1.5 kg (3.34 lbs), the Asus Zenbook S 16 packs a rather large 78 Wh battery. Our review of the more powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 SKU proved that the Zenbook S 16 should last a full workday on a single charge with a WLAN runtime of 10 hours.
