Asus Zenbook S13 UX5304 (13.3-Inch, 2023)

A near-flawless OLED display ; Suitable productivity performance ; Good battery life ; Jaw-droppingly thin and light

Irritating fan noise ; Battery capacity and graphical power worse than last gen ; High starting price

The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023) had a lot to live up to, with its predecessor a solid contender for the best laptop of 2022. The 2023 model is still very good but a switch to Intel and a focus on being supremely thin and light has kept it from being...

Solid productivity performance Above-average battery life Attractive and solid design Excellent keyboard and touchpad Thin and light

Surprisingly robust performance ; Incredibly thin and fairly lightweight ; Gorgeous looking screen ; Surprising amount of ports

Speakers are a bit underwhelming ; Premium price tag ; Trackpad a bit too sensitive

The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023) one of the most eco-friendly Ultrabooks out there, made from recycled and recyclable parts, and it is much more than a gimmick. It is a performance powerhouse even without a dedicated GPU with a stunning screen to...

Beautiful 2.8K OLED display ; Decent connectivity, complete with full-size ports ; Impressively thin and light design

Middling performance ; No touch screen

The 2023 Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED comes with an eye-popping OLED display and long battery life, but its ho-hum performance and lack of a touch screen keep it from top marks.

Standout battery life ; Light and portable ; OLED screen ; Eight-core Ryzen processor

No audio jack or Thunderbolt support ; Bad webcam ; No touchscreen option

Asus’ latest ZenBook 13 OLED, powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800U, is a decent purchase for sub-$1,000 shoppers. I tested a configuration with 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and a 67Wh battery.

high-frequency fan noise ;less performance than in the predecessor ;no SD card reader ;limited maintenance options

The new Zenbook S 13 leaves us with mixed feelings, particularly since

ASUS is only bringing in one colour to Singapore ; Mediocre content creation performance ; Limited gaming options

Extremely light ; Amazing battery life ; Excellent performance ; Gorgeous OLED display ; Chic lid design

Extremely loud fans frequently turn on ; Speakers aren't very loud

With its reliable performance, amazing battery life, and gorgeous OLED display the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED is a great laptop for most people. However, the fans can get rather loud and the speaker is rather weak.
