Asus presents its new Zenbook S 13 OLEDthe notebook World’s thinnest 13.3-inch OLED. It is an exceptional product from all points of view: design, performance and sustainability. The Zenbook S 13 OLED has one thickness of only 1 cm and a weight of just 1 kg, ideal for those looking for maximum portability. And after seeing it in preview, as editorial staff of we feel to say that, beyond any surprising technical specification, it is really nice.
Furthermore, it is the first carbon neutral notebook from Asusmade with recycled materials and with an eco-friendly packaging.
Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED, the world’s thinnest OLED laptop
The aluminum frame has a finish in plasma ceramic which makes it resistant and refined. But the Zenbook S 13 OLED doesn’t give up anything in terms of power: it mounts the new processors 13th Gen Intel Core, up to 32GB RAM, up to 1TB PCIe SSD and a battery of 63 Wh which guarantees high autonomy.

A slim and innovative design
The Zenbook S 13 OLED is a ultra-thin and ultra-light portable, that does not give up anything in terms of quality and functionality. To make this outstanding product, Asus has applied several innovative solutions in design and manufacturing. Using recycled materials and advanced techniques.
Among the novelties, a slim cover with integrated camera. In fact, find one High quality FHD IR camera in the lid of the laptopwhich has been worked with a technique CNC to make it stronger and thinner. The lid also houses a bespoke OLED panel, which made it possible to reduce the thickness by 30% compared to traditional panels.
Asus has also worked on a smart internal layout, using circuit boards with fewer layers and more transistors, which guarantee high performance and low weight. The motherboard was designed to accommodate a extra thin fan that improves cooling. This caused the bottom of the laptop to be 25% thinner compared to the previous generation. Finally, the choice of light and resistant materials: Asus has used a magnesium and aluminum alloy for the keyboard deckwhile the touchpad is covered in ultra-thin glasswhich helps to further reduce the thickness of the keyboard deck by 25%.
Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED, attention to sustainability
As Asus explains, very often “less is more”. Indeed, Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED not only offers high performance and an elegant design, but it is also a product EPEAT Goldwhich means it has a bass environmental impact at all stages of its life cycle. From the choice of materials to manufacturing, from assembly to use and final recycling, the Zenbook reduces carbon emissions by using recycled materials and eco-friendly packaging.
The Zenbook is the greenest of Asus products. Because it uses a magnesium-aluminum alloy recycled after industry (PIR) for the keyboard cover, frame and lid, thereby reducing carbon emissions by more than 50%. The keys and speakers also contain post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and Harman Kandor audio speakers also use plastic that is collected from the oceans.
The packaging can be 100% recycled, because it is made with reusable and biodegradable materials. We use 100% FSC Mix certified paper, which comes from sustainably managed forests, controlled wood and recycled sources. Paper packing inserts can also be done easily transform into handy laptop stands. What’s more, the Zenbook S 13 OLED exceeds the energy efficiency standard ENERGY STAR by 43% to use less electricity.
Also, Asus first used a special process to produce a plasma ceramic aluminum material to put on the lid. This process usjust pure water and electricity and requires no organic compounds, acids or heavy metalsi.
