ASUS today announces the new ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302), a 13.3-inch ultraportable 2.8K OLED laptop that weighs a mere 1 kilogram, making it the worldโ€™s lightest in its class. 

The ultralight ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) is an elegant and powerful companion for those with busy lifestyles. It packs a lot of advanced technology into its super-thin 14.9 mm magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis, including an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U Mobile Processor, AMD Radeon graphics, WiFi 6E and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. 

The clear and responsive 16:10 2.8K OLED HDR NanoEdge touchscreen is Dolby Vision-certified, PANTONE Validated for superb colour fidelity, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified for the deepest blacks, and has an ultra-vivid DCI-P3 colour gamut for a superlative viewing experience. The touchscreen supports a 4096-pressure-level stylus, such as the ASUS Pen 2.0 . Enhanced eye care is ensured by the TรœV Rheinland-certified low blue-light emissions. 

Immersive multi-dimensional sound is provided by a Harman Kardon-certified Dolby Atmos audio system with a powerful smart amplifier. 

Premium features ensure an unrivalled user experience, including ASUS AI Noise Cancelation Technology for clearer conference calls; ASUS Antibacterial Guard for improved hygiene; an ASUS ErgoSense keyboard for superb comfort; and ASUS NumberPad 2.0 for easy data entry. 

Worldโ€™s lightest 13.3-inch OLED laptop 

The ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) is lighter than any other 13.3-inch laptop in its class, with a sleek 1 kg-light, 14.9 mm-thin chassis made entirely from durable magnesium-aluminum alloy. Itโ€™s the ultimate ultraportable laptop for effortless on-the-go productivity and creativity. 

The all-new contemporary design features our new monogram logo on the lid makes the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) stand out from the crowd, without being brash. With its long-lasting high-capacity 67 Wh battery and up to 19-hour battery life, the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) needs fewer trips to the power outlet when the user is out and about. And when itโ€™s time for a top-up, the fast-charge technology can take it to 60% capacity in as little as 49 minutes, so thereโ€™s no need to break the flow. With ASUS USB-C Easy Charge, it can be quickly charged using a USB-C Power Delivery-certified charger, or topped up with any standard USB-C charger such as an airline charger, a portable charger or a power bank. 

Immersive sound and vision 

Any visuals will look better on ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) โ€˜s gorgeous 2.8K OLED HDR Dolby Vision touchscreen. The expansive 16:10 aspect ratio provides a bigger workspace, and the four-sided NanoEdge design with ultraslim bezels creates more screen area for an immersive viewing experience. The super-bright PANTONE Validated screen is colour-accurate with a 100% DCI-P3 gamut for ultra-vivid colours, and is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified for deeper blacks and ultrahigh contrast. It is also TรœV Rheinland-certified for eye care, so the userโ€™s eyes will stay comfortable even during long viewing sessions. The touchscreen supports a high-precision MPP 2.0 stylus โ€” such as the ASUS Pen 2.0 โ€” with 4096 pressure levels, allowing intuitive and natural input for notes, sketches or drawing. 

For unrivaled audio quality, the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) has a stereo sound system certified by the audio experts at Harman Kardon, powered by a smart amplifier thatโ€™s up to 3.5X louder than a standard amplifier using the same speakers. It delivers powerful, immersive sound thatโ€™s crystal-clear for superbly immersive entertainment and communications. The immersive sound of Dolby Atmos indulges the listener in their favorite entertainment with sound that moves all around with breathtaking realism in music, movies and TV. 

Powerful performance 

The ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) is a dependable, high-performance companion, powerfully equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U Mobile Processor, 16 GB of fast RAM, and AMD Radeon mobile graphics, so users can confidently tackle any work or leisure task, wherever they are. Its ultrafast 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD ensures fast boot times and instant app loads. 

The ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) features the latest WiFi 6E that loads online content in the blink of an eye, enhanced by the exclusive ASUS WiFi Master Premium fine-tuning technologies and software features that help deliver speed, stability and wide coverage. ASUS WiFi Stabilizer filters out wireless interference, so users will always enjoy the fastest possible speeds. Via the MyASUS app, users can also enable WiFi SmartConnect to automatically connect to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots, or utilize TaskFirst to select tasks that you wish to prioritize for internet access.
