Its slim 1.1 cm chassis and approximately 1.5 kg weight make it particularly well suited to mobile work, study and everyday productivity.

Powered by an AMD Ryzen AI processor with up to 50 TOPS of AI performance, the Zenbook S 16 is built for modern AI-assisted computing. It combines responsive performance with a 16-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen, fast wireless connectivity and a premium Ceraluminum chassis.

The result is a notebook that balances portability, performance and entertainment. The large OLED display is well suited to content creation, office work, media consumption and multitasking, while the six-speaker audio system adds an immersive element for movies, music and video calls.

Premium Ceraluminum Design
