The author reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16, highlighting its standout features including the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor and a powerful graphics performance. While it excels in graphics with high scores in 3DMark and PCMark tests, it falls short against Snapdragon in general workloads. The device’s 16-inch OLED touchscreen impresses with its vibrant colors and high refresh rate, but battery life is average, lasting around 10 hours, which does not match the efficiency of its competitors.
If you need a new laptop, you might want to buy it now - here's why According to the benchmarking tests I conducted, the Ryzen AI 9 failed to match the Snapdragon's performance in general workloads.
The Zenbook S 16 did much better on the graphics side, earning a top score of 24,327 on 3DMark's Sky Diver and 8,723 on PCMark's Digital Content Creation tests.
I adore the display. It is a 16-inch 3K (2880 x 1800 pixels) OLED touchscreen that runs at a speedy refresh rate of 120Hz.
Asus' machine also covers the entire DCI-P3 color gamut, allowing it to show over a billion colors on screen at once.
