The new Asus Zenbook S 14 is a stunning Windows laptop that doesn't compromise on speed.
Physically well built ; One-handed lid operation ; Includes Windows Hello and Presence Sensing
No haptic trackpad ; The USB-C ports are both on the one side ; AI-ready processor, but not much AI to speak of
A thin-and-light Windows 11 laptop that ships with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 2) processor and a 14-inch 3K OLED display.

The Asus 14-inch Zenbook S has many fancy-sounding features, from its ‘Ceraluminum' hi-tech ceramic lid to its 3K ‘Lumina' OLED display. That's all very well, but to score high in our laptop tests it needs to handle everyday tasks smoothly, have a...

Welcome back to the game, Team Blue. #intel #lunarlake #asus
Beautiful OLED display ; Very nice, sleek design ; Build quality is best-in-class ; Insanely long battery life ; Intel has shown that it's possible to make efficiency gains without compromising performance
Bumped up in price from last-gen Zenbook 14 OLED ; ASUS Singapore should make the Core Ultra 9 288V available as an option ; Ideally, one of the USB-C port should have been built on the right side

Improved battery life ; Beautiful design ; Vivid display
Asus software pushes trials and accounts ; Weaker multi-core performance than competitors ; Lackluster webcam
The Asus Zenbook S14, with Intel's "Lunar Lake" processor, has better battery life than the previous generation of Intel chips, packed into a beautiful design. But its multi-core performance is weak, and the laptop has a lackluster webcam.

The Zenbook S 14 is the flagship laptop showing off the new Intel Core Series 2 processors. Is it worth your money?
Very impressive battery life ; Beautiful design ; Portable, yet sturdy ; Good port selection ; Improved integrated graphics
CPU performance is disappointing ; Palm rests are almost too small ; No haptic trackpad
“The Asus Zenbook S 14 is a gorgeously made, long-lasting laptop -- and an ideal showcase for Intel's Core Ultra Series 2 chips.”

Notebookcheck has tested the brand-new Asus Zenbook S 14 with an Intel Lunar Lake CPU, Intel Arc Graphics 140V, 32 GB RAM & 120-Hz OLED. The new Asus Zenbook S 14 is Asus' new spearhead for compact laptops, and it is also the first model to feature...
slim and stable case ;very fast iGPU ;great 120-Hz OLED display ;very good system performance ;quiet operation, even under load ;Thunderbolt 4, USB-A & Wi-Fi 7 ;comfortable keyboard ;good sound system ;excellent battery life
RAM can't be upgraded ;PWM flickering ;no SD card reader ;comparatively low multi-core performance
The new Zenbook S 14 is a very good allrounder with lots of parallels to the larger Zenbook S 16. We like its design a lot and in addition, its build quality is impressive. At the same time, the Zenbook is super lightweight at only 1.16 kg and very...

Intel's Core Ultra Series 2 processors show improvement from the first generation, but Apple's and Qualcomm's ARM-based chips still lead the way.
Extremely thin, incredibly rigid design ; Beautiful, high-res OLED display ; Surprisingly impressive sound from quad speakers ; Big gains in NPU performance
Application performance trails that of competition ; No haptic touchpad

The choices for a really exceptional machine are now more vast than ever, and the ASUS Zenbook S 14 UX5406SA is part of that pool. Let's take a look at this new Intel 200v powered laptop from ASUS.
The design isn't new, but instead, it looks just like the S 16 and that makes this a beautiful laptop ; The build quality is ultra-premium, with fantastic materials used throughout the laptop ; The 3K OLED display is outstanding ; The touchscreen is...
The trackpad is just OK. It’s nice and ample, but the diving board style is not my favorite. I would have loved to see the haptic trackpad that’s on the Surface 7 Laptop on this laptop. That said, I can at least say that while I don’t like this style...
2024 has been a crazy year for laptops and laptop processors. Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm have all introduced some major groundbreaking CPU’s and that has made countless laptops worth looking at. I have used the new Snapdragon PCs, I’ve even used the new...

A thin-and-lightweight notebook that can be ideal for almost any kind of user.

The Asus Zenbook S 14 is the first laptop based on the latest Intel Lunar Lake platform, running on the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V SoC. We reviewed the Asus Zenbook S16 last month, which was based on the latest AMD Ryzen AI 300 platform. At that time, we...
Excellent Battery Life ; Bright, color accurate OLED display ; Class leading graphics performance ; Appealing design and good build quality
Multicore performance could be better ; Commands a premium
