ASUS Zenbook S 16-inch WQXGA+ Laptop – AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 2TB SSD 32GB RAM Win 11 Home UM5606WA-O93220G0W

Features

New Zen with superior AI

Zenbook S 16 is the first ultrathin 16-inch new-era ASUS AI PC, combining performance with sophistication. It has been completely redesigned from the inside out. The chassis incorporates our exquisite new Ceraluminum^™, a high-tech ceramic in a range of nature-inspired colours. It provides the characteristics of hardness while completing the ultra-slim design and withstand the test of time.

This new-era ASUS AI PC harnesses the latest AMD Ryzen^™ AI processor, enhanced by quiet ambient cooling. It’s designed to enrich your on-the-go lifestyle, with an astonishingly thin 1.1 cm chassis housing an advanced 16-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display and immersive six-speaker audio.

5 reasons to choose ASUS OLED laptops

• 100% DCI-P3 best-in-class colour gamut
• 70% less harmful blue light
• Clearer images at any brightness
• DisplayHDR^™ 500/600 True Black
• 0.2 ms fastest response time on any laptop

Ultimate professional-grade colours

ASUS OLED laptops deliver exceptionally detailed and realistic visuals, with a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. This means that the colours reproduced on the display are richer and more vivid: it’s ideal for colour-intensive projects, but also enhances any kind of content.

Ultra-accurate colours

Designers, producers, and brands deal with colour-critical decisions and communications each day. A PANTONE^® Validated OLED display means that the colours you see on the screen are accurate — what you see is truly what you get!

70% blue-light reduction for eye care

Blue light is known to cause visual discomfort and disrupt sleep quality. However, due to the nature of the special organic lighting materials in an OLED display, ASUS OLED laptops emit 70% less harmful blue light, and they’re also certified by TÜV Rheinland and SGS. More importantly, unlike traditional blue-light filters, shifting the spectrum means there’s no need to compromise colour accuracy.

Eye care, even more critical for children

Since children’s eyes are not fully developed, with a more transparent lens and cornea, harmful blue light can penetrate the eye more easily, potentially causing premature aging of the retina. Research has shown that in a five-year-old child’s eyes, approximately 60% of the received blue-light emissions pass through to the retina, compared to only around 20% for a 60-year-old adult. With ASUS OLED displays, the significantly lower blue light levels mean better eye care for children.

Colour-perfect at any brightness

ASUS OLED laptops maintain a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut at both high and low brightness levels, while on a standard LCD laptop the colour gamut is reduced dramatically at low brightness levels. At a gray-level brightness of 16 G, LCD laptops only have an 11% DCI-P3 colour gamut, while ASUS OLED laptops maintain a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut.

OLED has 1.6x colour volume compared to LCD

On conventional LCD displays, detail and colour quality usually decrease dramatically as the brightness is reduced. But ASUS OLED laptops are able to show great detail at lower brightness settings due to their high contrast and their ability to maintain a wide colour gamut at low brightness. When calculating the 3D colour volume — which adds illumination to the traditional 2D colour gamut — ASUS OLED displays have about a 60% higher colour volume, offering better colour performance at any brightness level.

OLED has much higher perceptual brightness

ASUS OLED laptops can maintain good color reproduction at any brightness level, so you can freely adjust the screen’s brightness to suit your working environment, while still enjoying exceptionally vivid colors. For example, in the living room environment (usually illuminated at about 100 lux), you only need 177 nits brightness in an OLED display to produce the same clear image as 400 nits brightness in an LCD display. At the lower brightness levels needed on OLED displays, there’s less harmful blue light emitted.

True black: See the unseen

ASUS OLED laptops reproduce blacks perfectly. An OLED pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each with its own self-generated illumination: a Full HD (1920×1080) display has 2,073,600 pixels, which means it has 6,220,800 self-illuminated sub-pixels, compared to just a few dozen LED backlights in a Full HD LCD display. When displaying black on an OLED display, the pixel is simply turned off to produce the darkest possible black. This enables extremely crisp and clear images even in the darkest scenes. You’ll be surprised to see how many new details you’ll spot in your favorite movies!

Fastest response time on any laptop for motion clarity

For a display, response time is the time taken to replace one color with another: the faster the time, the better motion is reproduced. The diagram below shows a color transition from purple to blue. On an ASUS OLED, this transition takes only 0.2 milliseconds, while on an LCD, it might take 10 ms or longer. This makes a lot of difference, since OLED colors and images look correct for most of the time a frame is displayed, whereas LCD images may be blurry during the transition process.

ASUS OLED displays have a 0.2 ms response time – the fastest of any laptop, and 50x faster than the average laptop LCD display. This ensures smoother fast-paced action scenes, low-latency gameplay, and subtle details like blur-free text scrolling. In effect, the smooth visuals on an OLED display can rival those on an LCD display with a much higher refresh rate.

Protecting your OLED display

ASUS OLED laptops comes with an ASUS-exclusive OLED Care mechanism that’s proven to protect your OLED display. Image persistence, or burn-in, on an OLED display can occur if a static high-contrast image is displayed for a prolonged period of time. To avoid this, when your ASUS laptop is idle for over 30 minutes, our specially designed screensaver kicks in. This significantly reduces the chance of burn-in by making sure all the pixels are illuminated and darkened equally, thus protecting the display from visible color shifts over time.
