Intelligent power management and the efficiency of the AMD Ryzen AI platform help balance performance and battery life, making Zenbook S16 a reliable companion for both office and on-the-go use.

A long-lasting 75 Wh battery supports up to 25+ hours of extended unplugged use, while USB-C Easy Charge allows convenient recharging from compatible adapters, power banks, or power outlets. Compact design, immersive experience Zenbook 14 features a stunning 14-inch WUXGA ASUS Lumina OLED display with a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, and an 87% screen-to-body ratio. The display delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and smooth motion — ideal for both work and entertainment.
