The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED UM5302 is a powerful little laptop with an stellar display at an attractive price.
Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED MSRP $1,300.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED packs a ton of power into a thin and light frame, with a display that will please creators and productivity workers alike.” Pros Cons The new Zenbook S 13 OLED feels modern in every sense of the word. It’s among the first laptops to use AMD’s new Ryzen 6000 chips, and it comes with a 16:10 OLED screen.
Compared to its chief competitor, the Dell XPS 13 with its white or black fiber keyboard deck and sleek silver aluminum chassis, the Zenbook looks quite minimalist. Compared to the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x, on the other hand, with its simple silver chassis, the Zenbook looks downright extravagant. Either way, it’s an attractive look.Asus used a magnesium-aluminum alloy on the Zenbook S 13 OLED’s chassis that contributes to the laptop’s light weight of just 2.2 pounds .
Connectivity is light, not surprising in such a thin machine. There are three USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack. The latter is an improvement from the previous generation Zenbook S, which didn’t have an audio jack. Wireless connectivity is fully up to date with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
That points out an important consideration with these results. The Zenbook S 13 OLED is a very thin laptop without room for a complex thermal design or large fans. And so, the Ryzen 7 6800U may perform even better in a thicker laptop with better thermals. As is, it’s a fast chip for productivity that can handle some creative tasks in a pinch, which is remarkable in a laptop of the Zenbook’s dimensions.
My colorimeter agreed. The OLED display’s brightness was 366 nits, above our 300-nit standard but not as bright as the other displays in our comparison group. Colors were wide at 100% of sRGB, 96% of AdobeRGB, and 100% of DCI-P3, and they were accurate as well, with a DeltaE of 1.0 . The contrast was deep as usual with OLED, at 25,560:1.
The touchpad is large and takes up most of the available space on the palm rest. It’s smooth and precise in swiping and using Windows 11 multitouch gestures thanks to Microsoft Precision touchpad drivers, and the buttons are firm with a click that might be just a tad loud. Asus applied a hydrophobic and anti-fingerprint coating to the touchpad to help keep it clean and last longer through wear and tear resistance and to provide better feedback.
Battery life Asus packed 67 watt-hours worth of battery into the Zenbook S 13 OLED, which is a lot for a very thin 13-inch laptop. The Dell XPS 13 has just 52 watt-hours by comparison. We’re dealing with a brand-new CPU, though, and so I didn’t know what to expect in terms of battery life. The power-hungry OLED display would have an impact, I knew that much, but I was looking forward to seeing just how long the laptop would last on a charge.
Our take The Zenbook S 13 OLED is a nicely configured premium 13-inch laptop for $1,300, making it a true value. It provides excellent performance for such a thin and light machine, it enjoys an excellent keyboard and touchpad, and its display is to die for.
