ASUS has unveiled its latest innovation, the Zenbook S16 (UM5606), in Singapore, setting new standards in the laptop industry with its ultra-thin design and advanced AI capabilities. As ASUS’ slimmest 16-inch AI laptop, the Zenbook S16 combines exceptional performance with sophisticated aesthetics, crafted from the groundbreaking Ceraluminum material, a high-tech ceramic hybrid that offers unmatched durability in a range of nature-inspired colours.
At just 1.1cm thick, the Zenbook S16 achieves its remarkable slimness through advanced CNC milling technology, which not only contributes to its sleek design but also enhances its functionality. This technology has enabled the inclusion of a unique geometric grille above the keyboard, optimising airflow and cooling while maintaining the laptop’s minimalist elegance. The ultra-thin chassis houses a comprehensive array of components, including an advanced vapour-chamber cooling system that ensures efficient performance without excessive noise.
Powered by the latest AI-enabled AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor with Radeon 880M graphics, the Zenbook S16 is capable of up to 50 dedicated NPU TOPS. This laptop powerhouse supports demanding AI applications while maintaining energy efficiency, thanks to its high-capacity 78 Wh battery that delivers up to 20 hours of battery life. It also features 24 GB of fast RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, ensuring that users experience blistering speeds and ample storage.
The Zenbook S16 excels in providing an immersive entertainment experience. It boasts a 16-inch 3K 120 Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display with vivid colours and exceptional HDR performance. Complementing the stunning visuals is a six-speaker audio system that provides a rich, multi-dimensional sound, enhancing every multimedia experience.
Security is paramount in the Zenbook S16, equipped with Microsoft Pluton security architecture and biometric features such as Windows Hello facial recognition, facilitated by the ASUS AiSense IR camera system. These features ensure that users can enjoy enhanced privacy and effortless security without worrying about potential threats.
The laptop also enhances user interaction through its ErgoSense keyboard, which features a dedicated Windows Copilot key for instant AI assistance, and a 40% larger touchpad that perfectly complements the 16:10 screen ratio for intuitive use and comfort.
Starting today, the ASUS Zenbook S 16 OLED (UM5606WA-RK133W) is available for purchase at a retail price of S$2,549. It can be found at the ASUS Exclusive Store, ASUS Online Store, and all authorised retailers.
