Amazing Laptop
Alright, let’s talk about the ASUS Zenbook S16. This thing? Total eye candy. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever lugged around a laptop that felt this feather-light and still looked like it belongs on a magazine cover. That 16-inch 3K OLED display? *Chef’s kiss.* I mean, colors just pop off the screen—blacks so deep you’d think you dropped your desktop into a black hole. Whether I’m slogging through spreadsheets, bingeing Netflix, or messing with Photoshop because I pretend to be artsy, this screen just delivers. Under the hood, it’s packing an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 and a whopping 24GB of RAM. Translation: this beast doesn’t choke, ever. It boots up in seconds, flips through a million Chrome tabs (yeah, I’m that person), and chews through heavy-duty creative apps without breaking a sweat. Plus, a 1TB SSD? That’s more space than I know what to do with, and files open so fast it’s almost suspicious. The build? Honestly, ASUS nailed it. It feels super solid—like, premium, but not the kind of premium where you’re scared to scratch it. And for how thin and light it is, I keep forgetting it’s actually a 16-inch laptop. Battery life’s legit too. I get through a whole day bouncing between work and classes, and I still don’t have to panic-search for an outlet. Bottom line: this thing is a killer combo of style, speed, and portability. Seriously, it’s the kind of laptop that makes you want to get stuff done just so you can show it off. If you need power but refuse to haul around a brick, the Zenbook S16 is basically a no-brainer.

Hit or miss…
It’s a hit or miss… the first one i got kept crashing when connected to an external monitor which got really annoying. The second one i got is fine so far. Other than that it’s a great laptop. The screen is amazing and it seems to be very fast. Best feature is definitely how thin it is. Very portable for 16 inch so if that’s what u want it’s perfect. Battery life with mild use is about 12 hrs. It can get hot especially if ur using it while charging. Also really nice build quality and looks amazing.

Stunning screen
The screen is the thing for me with this one. Battery life, speed, updates are all pluses. Minor minuses are heat and maybe port placement, all the ports are there but a USBC port on the right side would be perfect.

Asus' Best Ultra Light/Thin to Date
Crazy good build quality and drop dead gorgeous touchscreen in 3K Resolution OLED. Not ready to get rid of X86 just yet and this laptop is decently power efficient and has a huge battery. Charging every other day for now. Laptop is extremely thin but still manages to include all of the important ports and charges via USB-C. Large trackpad is extremely responsive and a pleasure to use. 24 GB of RAM should be good for a while for this use case and the 1TB SSD is fast enough and plenty of storage. Very happy with the laptop, just wish it was maybe slightly more affordable. Barely runs hot when in balanced mode and performance is not impacted one bit.

Great Laptop!
High quality laptop, great performance and an excellent screen to go with it. Its incredibly lightweight for any laptop and truely impressive for a high performance 16 inch PC. Great port selection too! We got this for my wife and I wish I could get another one for myself! Also, the Lawrence, Kansas store took excellent care of me when I drove a long way to get an open box PC from them! Thanks!
