    Beautiful, sleek laptop with a fatal flaw

    I've had this laptop for a week and a half and I have made up my mind, I am going to return it this weekend. It makes me a little sad that I have to do this. It's an incredible laptop. It's thin, light, and powerful. Its screen is great. Its hinge and its chassis feel very solid. But I have heard of way too many complaints online about the internal display cable failing after a short period of time. It's not a routine failure due to wear, it's almost completely random. Some people's laptops fail weeks or months after they bought it. I've seen a few people claim it failed just weeks after the 1y warranty window. If it does fail, you have to replace the entire display. Aside from the theoretical risk, I've noticed a recurring firmware issue that annoys me. Twice so far, when I opened the laptop from sleep, its CPU was stuck at its minimum clockspeed and everything was extremely sluggish. I had to restart the laptop to fix this. I've never experienced this before on a laptop. And yes, I am on the latest BIOS. Given that this CPU and this laptop are last generation's models, I doubt this issue will ever get fixed.

    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.

    The ASUS Zenbook S 16 stands out as a premium Windows laptop that combines a high-quality OLED display, robust performance, and a sleek design. While it excels in many areas, potential buyers should be aware of its thermal characteristics and the current state of its AI features. Overall, it offers a compelling package for those seeking a powerful and stylish laptop.

    I am thrilled about this purchase. This is a superb laptop, with a fast response and outstanding graphics. I can perform multiple tasks without any trouble.

    This thing is seriously awesome, and I'm so glad I got it. It handles everything my wife throws at it with her drawing tablet. Plus, all the art programs and other creative software run flawlessly, which is a huge relief. No lag or glitches, just pure smooth performance! I highly recommend it.

    I was hesitant to purchase the zenbook s16 because of the reviews. So far it has been great for my business and personal use. It's lite weight which is great for real estate and being on the go. I love the style and touch screen.
