ASUS today announces the availability of the all-new Zenbook S 16
(UM5606), the first ultrathin 16-inch new-era ASUS AI PC, which
combines performance with sophistication. Zenbook S 16 is now
available starting from CA$2,199, in exclusivity on the ASUS Store
and Best Buy.
The premium Zenbook S 16 has a new functional aesthetic and has
been completely redesigned from the inside out. The chassis
incorporates our exquisite new Ceraluminum™1, a high-tech ceramic
hybrid material in a range of nature-inspired colors. This
industry-first innovation boasts unparalleled strength, defying
scratches and wear with ease.
A fusion of art and technology
Newly designed with a functional aesthetic, Zenbook S 16
incorporates our new Ceraluminum™ material, providing the
characteristics of hardness while completing the ultra-slim design
and withstand the test of time. We spent four years fine-tuning the
colors, texture and hardness of this innovative material, and the
results speak for themselves.
Leveraging cutting-edge CNC technology, Zenbook S 16 manages to
achieve a remarkable thickness of just 1.1 cm while housing a
comprehensive array of leading-edge components, including an
advanced vapor-chamber cooling system. Zenbook S 16 is the only
laptop combining such sleekness and functionality. Moreover,
Zenbook S 16 is the thinnest and most compact2 16-inch laptop,
reinforcing our dedication to delivering top-notch performance
without sacrificing portability. As well as helping achieve the
ultrathin design, CNC machining is also used to create the
exclusive geometric grille design above the keyboard, and also to
cut the extra-large touchpad area.
Powerful and intuitive
Zenbook S 16 does more for its users, offering next-generation
AI capabilities in an ultrathin form factor. It's equipped with the
latest 12-core AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 processor, along with 32
GB of fast RAM and 1 TB PCIe® 4.0 SSD. The processor boasts a TDP
of up to 28 watts and features a built-in Ryzen AI engine that
delivers up to 50 TOPS of power-efficient performance for modern AI
applications, helping the high-capacity 78 Wh battery to
deliver all-day autonomy.
Zenbook S 16 focuses on providing an effortless, intuitive and
friction-free user experience. There's a dedicated Windows Copilot
key on the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard, which allows users to call up
Windows AI assistance in just a second with one press. The
40%-larger ultra-smooth touchpad matches the screen's 16:10 'golden
ratio' aspect ratio for intuitive control, and the extra area
increases comfort and makes the use of smart gestures easier, so
users can seamlessly perform tasks such as adjusting the audio
volume, screen brightness quickly for frictionless video
viewing.
For easy on-the-go device connections, the ultra-compact Zenbook
S 16 boasts a full set of I/O ports, including two USB4 Type-C®, a
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI® 2.1, an SD card reader, and an audio
combo jack. WiFi 7 with ASUS WiFi Master Premium certification
ensures the fastest, most reliable connections everywhere.
Immersive audiovisuals
Immersive, lifelike visuals are provided by the big, bright and
clear 3K 120 Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display, which is Pantone
Validated® and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified for outstanding
color and HDR performance. For a true cinematic experience Zenbook
S 16 includes a powerful six-speaker Harman Kardon-certified audio
system, that deliver full-range multi-dimensional Dolby Atmos®
sound.
Quiet and secure
Particular care has been taken to reduce noise in Zenbook S 16.
The advanced 3D vapor-chamber cooling system with dual Iceblade
fans allows an under-25 dB ambient cooling mode, as well as
automatically adjusting to enable the full 28 W TDP performance
when demanded. An attractively designed geometric grille above the
keyboard maximizes airflow while minimizing the risk of dust or
dirt ingress.
