Can't wait for the performance tests

Good to see you on the Gadget Show Podcast

Wow. That's an impressive laptop. It also has RDNA3.5 so it should be decent at gaming. Definitely on top of my wish list right now for the new Strix Point AMD laptops. Looks like ASUS nailed it.

I'm thinking to preorder one but I've heard negative things about the customer support. Never had an ASUS before. In fact is in my eat Buy cart.

1.1cm is crazzyyyy .... i tot of getting the huawei mate x pro buh.. changed my mind.... im getting this

Seriously not understanding what all the hype about the size and weight are. 1.5 kg for this size laptop is not unheard of. LG's Gram series have been at it for some time now. I think their 16" model is around 1.3 kg. It also comes with an OLED display and a 10-key keypad. Perhaps the laptop is thinner? I don't know. But at a certain point, is that even a virtue? It seems to come at the expense of robustness and key travel.

The only thing I miss is the full-sized keyboard having both alpha-numeric keypads. Anyway, I love Asus Laptops, so I can't wait to have this one!

So cause of stupid ventilation holes placing I can't use this laptop closed in a dock with monitor I guess. Right!?
Had same issue with old asus laptop on intel 7000 series (closed it everheated and shutdowns)

Everything is nicely done but i have some points:
- small keys
- no numpad in this size?
- touch seemed way too big but it would have been more elegant to have it a little smaller(visually not appealing this way tbh)
- lastly the price point of £1699 which will translate to 1699€ or more "without dGPU" is killing it for me.
I have some more points but this can be only visible through tests since this isnt a review, i will leave it at that.

Saf, any thoughts on how it stack up against the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i?

[jrusalem]

This is future and I want him right now just for my python coding lol! I don't give ** about his price. This is dream

[WarAlex]

Only con for me, no USB C port on the other side of laptop. Boo. Excellent ports though

@supersaf Can you please share if the ASUS Zenbook S 16 has a full aluminium body? I've read somewhere that the bottom is made out of plastic and that would really ruin the premium feel for me. Cheers

Really wanted 3200 x 2000 res screen, 2880 at x2 is a 1440 screen and that is a bit to big UI for a 16 inch screen.
Eager to get test results for how the Radeon 890m performs in apps like Lightroom and Photoshop.

Hello, I specialize in photography and photo editing. I recently found an ASUS ZenBook S 16 OLED while looking at several models as I needed a 16-inch laptop. I would appreciate it if you could rate this model to fit my needs. I'm mainly working on high resolution images using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. So display quality and performance are very important factors. I was wondering if this laptop could meet my requirements.

I love EVERYTHING but what do you mean it charges usb only + now powerport. I'm on the fence this is just SO expensive for something so breakable... as someone who has tripped and needed to replace a jack before :( what if I trip and it breaks the board

[stema]

Where is it 1.1cm? At the front/back? With or without legs?

[akmalaarif]

ASUS Zenbook S16 vs SAMSUNG Galaxy Book4 Edge?

[matzefatcatcombat]

Price for the ryzen 365, 24GB ram and 1TB storage is 1699; and for the ryzen 370, 32GB ram and 2TB storage is 2099; officially written on the Asus homepage... Do you think the price will drop, since you claimed the cheaper one to have the higher specs?

[sergebureau]

Looks like an amazing machine, I am anxious to have them on store
