The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (Zenbook S Series) 1TB / 16GB is ASUS's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 14.9 x 296.7 x 210.5 ( = 0.59 x 11.68 x 8.29 in) display, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U 8c/16t 8 x 2.7 - 4.7 GHz, 30 W PL2 / Short Burst, 25 W PL1 / Sustained, Rembrandt-U (Zen 3+) chipset. At AED 1,149 in the UAE and ₹28,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED excels with its Ryzen 7 6800U’s 8-core Zen 3+ CPU and Radeon 680M iGPU—delivering desktop-class multi-threaded performance and integrated graphics that outperform Intel Iris Xe in gaming and creative workloads. Paired with 16GB LPDDR5-6400 dual-channel RAM and a 67Wh battery, it sustains 10–11 hours of mixed use without throttling. The OLED screen delivers true blacks and vivid colors, ideal for photo editors and developers who need pixel-perfect displays. Its 1.095kg weight and slim profile suit frequent travelers. Weakness: thermals throttle under sustained 30W loads, limiting prolonged CPU-intensive tasks. Storage is fast NVMe, but no expansion slot exists. In UAE at AED 1149, it’s good value because no other ultraportable offers this CPU/GPU combo under AED 1500. In India at ₹28990, it’s overpriced—similar Ryzen 7 laptops with better cooling and 512GB SSDs sell for ₹25000.
