80% Asus Zenbook S13 OLED Review (2024): Slim To The Max And Meddling With MacBook Air
Source: Slashgear
With the Zenbook S13 OLED, Asus is offering an ultrabook that is also functionally rewarding. The build quality is top-notch, the keyboard is amazing, and there is a welcome diversity of I/O ports. It also serves a beautiful OLED screen that is married to perks like 65W fast charging, both of which put the latest MacBook Air to shame. But this machine is not all about slim looks and barely-there heft. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor holds its own against Apple's venerable M-series processors even at AI workflows. If you are in the market shopping for a slim and light machine, the performance of this Asus laptop won't leave you wanting for more. But there are a few pitfalls to keep in mind, all of which are unfortunately inevitable for Windows-based ultrabooks. When pushed, this sleek laptop runs hot and throttling becomes evident if you're trying to be frugal on the battery. But having tested a healthy bunch of laptops in this segment, I feel the Zenbook S13 OLED (2024) hit the limits of PC engineering finesse.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
