After a successful ZenBook 14 Oled, Asus is applying the same recipe to the 13-inch model, the aptly named ZenBook S 13 Oled. The Oled panel is still in place, but we discover AMD’s new processor for ultraportable: the Ryzen 7 6800U.
The Asus ZenBook S 13 Oled is the ultraportable par excellence thanks to an autonomy that borders on half a day, its powerful processor even offering the luxury of being able to play. This offspring of Asus could have been absolutely perfect if the anti-reflective filter of its screen was effective and its connectivity a little more varied. Finally – and a little nitpicking – the heat felt at the keyboard could have been better controlled.
Strong points
- Comfortable autonomy.
- Well calibrated Oled screen.
- Ryzen 7 performance.
- Can even play (a little).
Weak points
- Panel reflectance.
- Connections little varied.
- Poorly designed cooling.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 ticks almost all the boxes: its impressive chassis makes no compromises, whether on performance or autonomy, and the screen is very well made, with faithful colors and an effective anti-reflective treatment . We simply regret the definition of the panel lower than that of the best laptops on this point.
