Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review: I think AMD just killed the MacBook Air

 

A laptop with integrated graphics that I can game on? Wild.

Unique design ; Decent OLED display ; Powerful performance ; Solid graphics ; Long battery life

Mediocre keyboard and touchpad ; Slow SSD

The Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 showcases the best of AMD’s new Ryzen AI 9 series with its excellent performance and long battery life, but a better keyboard would make this baby shine.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 AMD Ryzen AI 9 Review

 

The ASUS Zenbook S 16 AMD Ryzen AI 9 is on another level of laptops, and this is one I'd consider not sending back to ASUS. Though I really have no choice in that matter, LOL.

The design is the nicest I've seen in a very long time, even nicer than the MacBook Pro ; The build quality is ultra-premium with fantastic materials used ; The 3K OLED display is outstanding ; The touchscreen is responsive and accurate ; The keyboard...

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. AMD, Intel, 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...

Asus Zenbook S 16 review: a beautiful-looking laptop for general creatives

 

This new ASUS laptop is powered by the latest AMD AI processor putting it up there with Intel's latest offerings.

Thin and super portable ; Good general CPU performance ; Attractive design

Not suited for 3D rendering ; Competitors have better battery life

The ASUS Zenbook S 16 is undoubtedly one of the best-looking laptops out there at the moment and I'm including Apple's MacBook's in the list. The laptop performs incredibly well for every day tasks but lacks what's required for 3D rendering. The...

ASUS Zenbook S 16 (UM5606) review: AMD's new AI CPU challenges Snapdragon X and stomps Intel Meteor Lake

 

An all-day battery and slick chassis design from ASUS are more appealing than AMD's Strix Point processor boasting AI metrics.

Color-accurate 3K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate ; Off-white chassis option looks great with a unique texture ; All-day battery life with traditional x86-64 processor

50 TOPS NPU is often idle and unused in Windows Task Manager ; Built-in touchpad shortcuts for ScreenXpert can be annoying

It's difficult to explain the appeal of a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to the masses, as most of its effectiveness happens behind the scenes, handling low-power AI tasks up to a maximum measurable Tera Operations per Second (TOPS) metric. While ASUS...

I just tested Asus’ first AMD Ryzen AI Copilot+ PC — can it beat Snapdragon X Elite? Sort of

 

Are we entering the x86 endgame?

Gorgeous OLED display ; Strix Point is a graphical powerhouse ; Amazing keyboard and touchpad ; No pesky Arm compatibility issues

x86 brings lower stamina than Arm ; General performance falls behind Snapdragon ; The long wait for Copilot+ features begins

Not all Copilot+ PCs are the same, and the Asus Zenbook S 16 proves that. AMD Ryzen AI 9 beats Snapdragon X Elite and Apple silicon in some areas like graphics and app compatibility, and the delicious design paired with stellar ergonomics make this a...
