The new AMD-powered Zenbook 13 S joins a limited, but slowly growing lineup of 13-inch OLED laptops for folks seeking the benefits of OLED technology for a consumer-accessible price. But Asus isn\u2019t leaving Intel behind \u2014 the company has also unveiled a new Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED convertible powered by 12th-Gen Core processors and Arc GPUs. <\/p>\n<p id=\"qwCxf4\">The Zenbook 13 S OLED doesn\u2019t look too different from 13-inch Zenbooks we\u2019ve seen before. It weighs 2.2 pounds and is just over half an inch thick. It\u2019s available in some fun colors: Ponder Blue, Aqua Celadon, Refined White, and Vestige Beige. But the most interesting thing is that the word \u201cAsus,\u201d famously prominent on Zenbook lids, has been replaced with a new arrow-shaped logo. This looks much nicer to me and more like something I wouldn\u2019t mind having in a coffee shop all day. <\/p>\n<p id=\"dEw1U2\">About the screen: it\u2019s a 2.8K 16:10 touchscreen with a 0.2ms response time and a claimed 550 nits of peak brightness. The 13-inch OLED Zenbook we reviewed last year delivered a vivid and bright experience, and such a screen could be a good option for multimedia viewing. In terms of connectivity, there\u2019s an audio jack (which has been missing from some recent Zenbooks), and there are three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports that support DisplayPort and Power Delivery. There does not appear to be USB-A, which makes me sad.<\/p>\n<p id=\"C3Kchn\">The 13 S is powered by AMD\u2019s Ryzen 6000 processors, including a Ryzen 5 6600U or a Ryzen 7 6800U. It can be configured with up to 32GB of RAM (LPDDR5) and 1TB of storage. We haven\u2019t gotten to do a ton of testing with these processors yet, but we expect them to be more than capable of handling entertainment, office work, and other tasks generally done on 13-inch laptops.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pwmvjX\">Asus has not given us a price or release date for this device, but a 13.9-inch Zenbook S (with no OLED) is currently going for $1,699.98. <\/p>\n<section class=\"c-image-gallery\" data-cid=\"apps\/image_gallery-1650699179_2214_196856\" data-cdata='{\"routing\":false,\"keyboard\":false,\"two_col\":false,\"display_headline\":false,\"expandable\":false,\"anthem_component_id\":1939025,\"entry_id\":22799526}'>\n<p>      <button data-ui=\"grid\"><br \/>\n         Grid View<br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__viewer-prev\" data-ui=\"prev-image\" aria-label=\"Previous image\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><br \/>\n      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__viewer-next\" data-ui=\"next-image\" aria-label=\"Next image\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><\/p>\n<p>              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/imgs\/tech\/0423\/Zenbook_Pro_15_Flip_OLED_UP6502_Scenario_photo_011330.jpg\" alt=\"&lt;em&gt;This could be you, if you buy the Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED.&lt;\/em&gt;\"><\/p>\n<p>               <em>This could be you, if you buy the Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>              Image: Asus<\/p>\n<p>              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/imgs\/tech\/0423\/Zenbook_Pro_15_Flip_OLED_UP6502_Product_photo_051331.png\" alt=\"&lt;em&gt;Flip it into tablet mode.&lt;\/em&gt;\"><\/p>\n<p>               <em>Flip it into tablet mode.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>              Image: Asus<\/p>\n<p>              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/imgs\/tech\/0423\/Zenbook_Pro_15_Flip_OLED_UP6502_Product_photo_031332.png\" alt=\"&lt;em&gt;Or whatever you call thsi mode!&lt;\/em&gt;\"><\/p>\n<p>               <em>Or whatever you call thsi mode!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>              Image; Asus<\/p>\n<p>              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/imgs\/tech\/0423\/Zenbook_S_13_OLED_UM5302_Glass_Product_photo_031333.png\" alt=\"&lt;em&gt;Here\u2019s the Zenbook S.&lt;\/em&gt;\"><\/p>\n<p>               <em>Here\u2019s the Zenbook S.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>              Image: Asus<\/p>\n<p>              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/imgs\/tech\/0423\/Zenbook_S_13_OLED_UM5302_Glass_Product_photo_021334.png\" alt=\"&lt;em&gt;This one comes in funky colors.&lt;\/em&gt;\"><\/p>\n<p>               <em>This one comes in funky colors.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>              Image: Asus<\/p>\n<p>      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__thumbs-prev\" data-ui=\"prev-page\" aria-label=\"Previous thumbnails\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><br \/>\n      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__thumbs-next\" data-ui=\"next-page\" aria-label=\"Next thumbnails\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p id=\"RP0tRG\">On the Intel side, Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED is more of a workstation device. It\u2019s powered by 12th-Gen processors up to a Core i7-12700H and Arc GPUs up to an A370M. Its 15.6-inch screen has 2880 x 1620 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate (thumbs up) with a 16:9 aspect ratio (thumbs down). You get up to 1TB of storage, and up to 16GB of memory (which is odd since the 13-incher goes up to 32GB). Previous Zenbook 15 Flip models (with Nvidia GPUs rather than Intel ones) are currently going for as much as $1,499.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mXanGv\">We hope to update this information with prices and release dates as soon as those are available. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asus has quietly announced two additions to its Zenbook line that are all about the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2284],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guides"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
