    Fantastic laptop! All the right features and specs to make this an excellent daily user for business and productivity. Having had a Carbon X1 as my previous daily, the 16" screen is much more useful than the 14" on the X1. In my research this was the best all around unit, without going with a dedicated gaming laptop.

    PC runs smoothly and responsive. Screen is well established and utilized almost all physical area with very little overhead left. This is impressive. Double character keys with the second sub-print characters are too small with very thin ink! As such, unable to sufficiently catching the background keyboard light. As a result, the second characters on these double keys are not well lit, and thus hardly visible.

    The ASUS Zenbook S 16 is an impressive ultrabook that combines elegance and performance with its thin, lightweight design and gorgeous 16” 3K OLED touch display, which delivers stunning colors and sharp details. It’s a perfect companion for professionals on the go, offering excellent battery life that keeps you productive throughout the day. The laptop is sleek yet powerful, equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 chip, 24GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD for seamless multitasking. However, the new AI Ryzen architecture can occasionally cause minor hiccups when running certain programs, which may require software updates to fully optimize. Overall, it’s a stellar choice for those seeking a stylish and capable laptop with cutting-edge features.

    This is an excellent machine with one flaw. Premium construction, keyboard, battery life and a very nice light weight. The big screen is gorgeous too, except it is glossy and reflects so much light that it's kind of distracting. It would be perfect otherwise, so if a glossy screen doesn't bother, this is the laptop to get.

    I can’t give a full review because I returned it. It seems like a decent laptop and every rep at Best Buy raves about it. However personally I was having problems with it freezing up and getting hot. Mine could have been a dud but I ended up going a different route as I wanted reliability. Shout out to the store for letting me return it 2days outside of the return window.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
