Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: OLED Screen 24GB RAM I actually like the design and finishing on it (Personal preference) Thin Neutral: Trackpad CPU Battery life GPU Cons: Runs very HOT I was excited to try the new AI chips. I was excited for the battery life and performance. But unfortunately battery life was the same as my 4 year old Lenovo that was the same price back then. Performance is fine. Nothing special. The graphics card was the biggest difference between this and my old laptop. 24GB of ram is nice for the price. The screen is nice. The other reviews are right, it runs HOT. Too hot for something that I don't keep on a desk all the time.

Gets a little hot but all in all a pretty good laptop. Battery life could leave something to be desired, but the screen makes up for it.

Fantastic laptop! Very well designed and sleek. Performance and battery life are very well comparable to my previous MacBook Air. I easily get 10-12 hours of usage out of it with Asus battery care limiting it to 80% charge (I primarily for college so Microsoft word and chrome browsing/video streaming). Even performs very well for some lighter games (rocket league, GTA V enhanced, Minecraft to name a few). The screen is very sharp and colors pop thanks to the 120hz oled panel. Only downside is that the laptop runs very hot (due to its thinner nature) and windows 11 is a flaming piece of AI bloatware garbage that requires excessive neutering in order to run smoothly. No fault to the laptop, just windows itself.

Truly incredible machine. Great performance, with far more cores and multicore performance than the zenbooks with lunar lake core ultra processors. Low fan noise, great speakers, amazing build quality. Beautiful screen! 24gb ram a welcome upgrade over 16, as I often find myself using more than 16gb in my standard use cases, but 24gb is more than enough for now. Highly recommended! Some complaints from other reviews seem to have been addressed by BIOS updates from Asus as I have not had the same issues. Oh and.. 10 hours of real world battery life! Amazing. Get it!

This laptop is easy to use fast and the display is amazing. Couple that with the ram and it’s a fantastic machine.

Everything looks clean and runs very well. It all runs quicker than my previous laptop and copilot is very easy to use. The ram is better than the average laptop in the market, and was definitely worth the price. Battery life is also great lasting me for all my classes.

Asus laptops are very reliable. Battery charge lasts for hours. Screen is brilliantly clear.

The Zenbook S16 offers excellent portability, strong everyday performance, and a beautiful OLED display. It delivers solid battery life and a lightweight design that makes it easy to carry around. However, after about a year of use, I experienced an issue where the internal screen began flickering and showing lines when the lid was moved, eventually going black while the laptop still worked through an external monitor. This problem may be related to the hinge or display cable. While the laptop performs well overall, potential buyers should be aware of this possible long-term durability concern, especially regarding heat-related issues that could affect internal components.

I picked this laptop for its 3k resolution monitor, and it didn’t disappoint. However, after one month of daily casual use (email, web surfing, some video streaming, occasional WoW playing) it refused to boot up after being shut down. After a one month trip to the ASUS repair center, where the BIOS was flashed, it was returned to me and was working again. Fast forward six months later, same issue again…shut it down one night and wouldn’t boot up the next morning. This time I took it to Best Buy and had the Geek Squad send it off for repair. This time the OLED module and screen had to be replaced, but after a month of waiting, Best Buy authorized an exchange because repairs were taking too long. Laptop was thin and lightweight but had an amazing screen, when it worked. It also heated up under normal use, using the ASUS onboard software it ran routinely at 80+C, frequently up to 90+C…made for a hot keyboard! Don’t know if i got a lemon or this is just a bad design.

To get it out of the way, I only have 2 complaints with this laptop. The first is that the trackpad is a diving board style mechanical click that doesn't really fit in with the premium feel of the rest of the laptop. It's not bad by any means, but once you've used a nice haptic touchpad like the ones on newer Surfaces and Macbooks, all the mechanical ones will feel cheap in comparison. The second is that the keyboard backlight even at its lowest setting is BRIGHT, if they could tone it down a bit with a bios update or something then the keyboard would be so much nicer to use in the dark. Everything else with this laptop is amazing, the thinness of it is unbelievable, the performance is great, even good enough for some light games (at actually playable framerates with decent graphics settings), the oled display is really nice to look at and the super slim bezels make it look even more premium and allow a 16" screen to fit in a resonably sized laptop, and I love the finish on the top lid of the laptop. Ive seen some complaints about it be easy to wear down and when I purchased mine as open box there were a small amount of scuffs near the edges but sinc ei have been using it, I have not seen any new marks appear after sliding it in and out of a sleeve constantly.

This PC is a complete blend of Speed, fabulous vibrant display and slimmest laptop in the segment. It is currently the most powerful slim windows laptop available in the market. A perfect competitor to the MacBook Air m4 and MacBook Pro M3

The screen is amazing, the speakers amazing, the only thing that isn’t amazing is the heating, after some time it starts to heat up other than that amazing overall.

Love time Asus Fanboy here so take this with maybe a pound or so of salt. I'm thrilled with this laptop, the screen is awesome, it's very thin and light along with being constructed well and aesthetically pleasing , about the only two criticisms I have are, no optical drive, which is readily evident in the description of the item so if you really need that or want one get a USB based one and run it that way. Far more egregious for me, also stated in the description, is the lack of an RJ45 (Ethernet connection) there's supposedly an adapter in the box but I cheaped out and bought an open box item so that adapter wasn't there, so I went back to BB and bought one (heavily discounted) over the counter there, quite satisfied. The only other quibble is I think I will expand the storage on this unit, to 4 TB just because... but I'm old school, I started playing with computers in the bad old days of JCL and punch cards... Yeah I'm one of those who say often "if you don't have it on paper... you don't have it"... This machine will be my daily driver, once I have successfully exorcized windoze and installed either free BSD or some flavor or other of Linux...I absolutely refuse to allow MS to do what they are determined to do to their customers... and I used to be a relatively enthusiastic MS customer since DOS days...

I purchased this laptop because of the specs on the laptop the ram space is huge the color display is beautiful I am able to do a lot more and it's fast. This laptop is definitely one that I would recommend. The only con to it is that I can't find a case that will protect the laptop like a shell protector or a screen protector for it and I think it's because it's so new but you would think that the company came out with such a thin frail laptop they would have all of the accessories to protect it

Great laptop. Excellent laptop, battery life is long, screen has beautiful colors, nice external design, my wife really liked it.

Slim body, like the color, easy to move around with a case for good protection and also with software protection

Solid Laptop for basic day to day work. Great screen, great pad. Often has screen lag issues. Overall great laptop but has issues with bugs.

Screen is amazing. Super light and has a Ryzen and loaded ream. Get it on sale.we paid 1000
