<\/span><\/h4>\nDesign is the first thing we noticed with the ZenBook S13 OLED and it is hard to ignore how light and thin the laptop is in real life. To give you the specifics, the laptop weighs just 1 kg and comes with 10mm thickness, which is nothing. With these figures, the ZenBook S13 OLED is one of the lightest laptops we have come across in recent times, and how easily it slots into your backpack. I\u2019ve used a 1.2 kg laptop and even then this ZenBook S13 felt really good to carry. <\/p>\n

The laptop weighs just 1 kg and comes with 10mm thickness<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\nBut the lightweight nature does not mean you see a drop in the build quality. Asus has offered a durable matte finish with a touch of ceramic that is mostly pleasing to the eye. <\/p>\n

The ZenBook S13 OLED gets a matte ceramic finish<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe unique hinge design allows you to open the flap to 180-degrees. Asus has also mastered the display tech on its notebooks, and offers an OLED panel with 2.8K screen resolution that produces punchy colours, high brightness level, and sharp contrast yet conducive to long usage without affecting the eyes. You can watch movies, videos and browse the web on the screen. <\/p>\n

It features a 13-inch 2.8K OLED display but no high refresh rate<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\nAsus has launched the ZenBook S13 OLED with the 13th gen Intel Core i5, going up to Core i7 processors. You get them with a minimum of 16GB RAM and 512GB storage which is generous, even though you expect this much for a laptop that costs over a lakh. The performance of the laptop did not pose any issues for us, and even during heavy multitasking we didn\u2019t see any lag or sluggish nature of the hardware. Our unit did have 32GB RAM with Core i7 chip, which definitely helps on that front. <\/p>\n

The hinge design allows you to open the lid to 180-degrees<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe used the laptop as our main work machine for more than a week, which includes heavy browsing, over 15 tabs open on Chrome at a time, some photo editing and clipping short videos. <\/p>\n
These kinds of tasks are handled easily by the laptop, which is what most people want to do. What also helps with the laptop is that Asus has not cut down on the connectivity ports to maintain its petite frame. You have the headphone jack, HDMI 2.1 port, Thunderbolt 4 USB C port and USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. <\/p>\n

You have a slew of ports even on a laptop as thin as this<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\nUsing the Intel chip also seems to have benefited Asus with offering efficient battery life. The ZenBook S13 OLED has a powerful display and puts through the hard grunt but even then we didn\u2019t see a major battery drop during the day on average. We managed to get over 6 hours of usage and still left with around 30 percent juice in the tank. Asus also gives you a 65W wall charger which can go to 100 percent in around 2 hours, while you can get half of that in 45-50 minutes. <\/p>\n
