ASUS Launches the Zenbook S 14: The Most Advanced AI Laptop Yet

Stepping up its game in the AI-powered computing world, ASUS has just dropped the Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) in the Philippines! 

This ultra-sleek laptop combines cutting-edge AI features with a stunning design that screams elegance and power. If you’re looking for a device that can handle anything from AI-driven applications to everyday multitasking, the Zenbook S 14 might just be your new go-to.

Let’s dive into what makes this laptop the most advanced AI PC yet from ASUS.

Why the Zenbook S 14 Is a Game-Changer

The Zenbook S 14 is all about bringing together premium design, durability, and top-tier functionality. Its slim profile—just 1.1 cm thick—and its feather-light weight of 1.2 kg make it perfect for anyone who’s always on the go but needs powerful performance.

This stunning laptop is crafted from Ceraluminum™, a material that’s not only one of the strongest but also incredibly resistant to scratches and wear. The sleek Zumaia Gray color, inspired by the cliffs in northern Spain, adds an extra touch of sophistication. Plus, the geometric grille design not only looks cool but also helps keep the device cool by improving airflow.

AI Power You Can Feel

What truly sets the Zenbook S 14 apart from the rest is its AI-powered Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 2) processor. Paired with Intel Arc Graphics, this powerhouse delivers up to 47 TOPS of AI performance. That means you can expect lightning-fast execution of AI tasks, smooth multitasking, and a snappy user experience all around. Whether you’re running AI apps or managing a million tabs at once, the Zenbook S 14 has you covered.

ASUS also went all-in on keeping the Zenbook cool, even under pressure. The ultra-slim vapor chamber and CNC milling technology work hand-in-hand to keep everything running smoothly without overheating. Plus, the quiet cooling system ensures that even when you’re pushing the laptop to its limits, you won’t be bothered by fan noise.

All-Day Power and Performance

If you’re always working on the go, battery life is key—and the Zenbook S 14 does not disappoint. With a 72Wh battery, this laptop offers up to 27 hours of productivity on a single charge. So whether you’re working through a long day of meetings or binge-watching your favorite shows, you won’t have to constantly hunt for a charger.

Inside, the laptop boasts 32GB of RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, so you can store all your files and switch between tasks with ease. The Zenbook S 14 also features a dedicated Windows Copilot key and a larger 16:10 touchpad, making navigation smoother and more intuitive.

Immersive Audiovisual Experience

The Zenbook S 14 is more than just a workhorse—it’s also built for entertainment. Its 3K 120Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display offers vibrant colors and sharp visuals, perfect for everything from creative work to casual streaming. Combine that with the Harman Kardon-certified four-speaker system and Dolby Atmos, and you’re in for a multi-dimensional audiovisual experience that’s hard to beat.

Need more screen space for those late-night Netflix marathons or creative projects? The Zenbook S 14’s touchscreen feature adds extra functionality, making it easier to interact with your apps and media.

Top-Notch Security

In today’s digital world, security is everything. ASUS understands this, which is why the Zenbook S 14 is equipped with the Microsoft Pluton processor. This processor keeps your authentication data safe by storing it in protected areas, making sure your laptop is secure from cyber threats.

But that’s not all—ASUS has also included AiSense IR camera features like Adaptive Lock and Adaptive Dimming. With Adaptive Lock, your laptop automatically locks when you step away, and Adaptive Dimming adjusts the brightness based on your presence. It’s a small touch, but it makes a big difference in convenience and peace of mind.

ASUS Vivobook S 14: The On-the-Go Option

For those looking for a sleek alternative, ASUS also announced the Vivobook S 14 (S5406), which is designed for the youthful, on-the-go crowd. This all-metal laptop is slightly larger than the Zenbook S 14, weighing 1.3 kg and measuring 1.39 cm thin.

With up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and AI performance delivering up to 47 TOPS, the Vivobook S 14 is no slouch when it comes to multitasking. The ASUS IceCool thermal system and 97-blade IceBlade fans ensure it stays cool, and the dedicated Copilot key gives users quick access to AI assistance when needed.

The Vivobook S 14 will be available starting November 2024.

ASUS ExpertBook P5: The Professional’s Choice

ASUS also revealed the ExpertBook P5 (P5405), which is ideal for professionals seeking durability without sacrificing performance. This laptop meets US MIL-STD 810H military standards, so you know it’s built to last. And at just 1.29 kg, it’s still light enough to carry around all day.

What makes the ExpertBook stand out is its ASUS ExpertCool thermal system, which ensures consistent performance during heavy workloads. It’s also ASUS’ most sustainable laptop yet, made from recycled materials and designed to reduce e-waste. If you’re working in industries where security is critical, the AI ExpertMeet feature offers customizable watermarks and AI-driven meeting assistance to boost your productivity.

The Zenbook S 14 is now available in the Philippines for PHP 109,995. Along with the laptop, you’ll get a free ASUS laptop sleeve, Office Home 2024, a 1-year Microsoft 365 Basic subscription, and a 1-month Adobe Creative Cloud membership.
