Slimmer is not at all times higher. Asus has fully reworked final yr’s Zenbook S13 OLED, and the brand new 2023 mannequin has now develop into lighter and in addition slimmer. In addition, Asus has changed the AMD chip with an Intel Raptor Lake processor, however that is not actually a bonus. In on a regular basis operation, the 2 fans are additionally an issue.
Asus has fully reworked its compact 13-inch ZenBook S 13 ultrabook, primarily concentrating on bringing a fair lighter and slimmer gadget to the market. According to the advertising materials, that is even the slimmest 13.3-inch OLED ultrabook on this planet. In this redesign, the producer additionally determined to exchange the excellent AMD processor of final yr’s mannequin with a present Raptor Lake chip from Intel. Of course, we are going to consider whether or not this was the appropriate determination.
Our take a look at unit of the Zenbook S 13 OLED is once more outfitted with a 13.3-inch OLED panel within the 16:10 format. In addition, there may be an Intel Core i7-1355U, 16 GB of RAM, and a big 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD at an MSRP of 1,499 Euros (~$1,657). But we even have excellent news for fans of final yr’s Zenbook S 13, since there may even be a refresh with AMD’s Zen4 CPUs.

The case of the 2023 Zenbook S 13 follows a brand new design, together with a brand new show hinge. This is an ErgoLift mechanism the place the bottom unit is angled when elevating the lid. This has each benefits and drawbacks, and whereas the angled base unit makes typing extra snug, there may be now a tough edge when putting the gadget in your thighs. The new Zenbook is obtainable in both Ponder Blue or Basalt Grey colour, and our grey take a look at unit appears to be like excellent and chic with the assorted shades of grey. In addition, we actually like the big ProArtwork brand on prime of the show cowl.
In addition to the brand new design, a brand new materials can be used for the lid. Basically, the case is created from aluminum, which was then coated by a layer of plasma ceramic coating. This new floor expertise provides numerous benefits corresponding to improved resistance to put on and corrosion. In on a regular basis operation, the marginally tough floor additionally has the benefit that you simply can’t see any fingerprints in any respect. After greater than every week, we did not even want a cleansing material. According to the producer, the manufacturing course of can be extra environmentally pleasant.
The floor of the bottom unit can be barely roughened, and fingerprints are additionally no downside there. The stability of the entire laptop computer leaves a superb impression with us, and regardless of the slim construct, neither the bottom unit nor the lid might be warped or bent excessively. The hinge can be adjusted nicely, although this can’t forestall some slight wobbling after altering the opening angle. The most opening angle is 180 levels.
The dimension comparability reveals that the brand new Zenbook S 13 has notably develop into slimmer. While additionally it is much less thick than the Windows rivals, the present MacBook Air M2 from Apple is even minimally slimmer. On the opposite hand, the spec sheet is a bit optimistic so far as the burden is worried, since our take a look at unit brings 1,048 grams (~3.263 lb) to the dimensions, putting solely in the course of the sphere with this. Compared to the predecessor, that is solely a weight financial savings of 47 grams (~1.7 oz). In the thickness, the financial savings are at the least 3 mm (~0.12 in), which is unquestionably noticeable. According to Asus, it’s the lightest 13.3-inch OLED laptop computer, however among the rivals with IPS panels are even lighter. But general, the mobility of the Zenbook S 13 is after all wonderful. The compact charger provides one other 228 grams (~8 oz) to the burden.

After the Zenbook S 13 from final yr used three USB-C ports completely, Asus now provides 2x USB-C, including additionally a USB-A port (regardless of the slim case) an additionally a full-dimension HDMI port. This is solely rather more sensible in on a regular basis operation, and since it’s an Intel laptop computer, the 2 USB-C ports after all additionally help Thunderbolt 4.
Asus makes use of the trendy AZ211 WLAN module from Intel, which already helps essentially the most present Wi-Fi 6E WLAN normal in addition to Bluetooth 5.2. However, in our take a look at we had been unable to hook up with the corresponding 6-GHz community of our Asus reference router and due to this fact used the 5-GHz community as a substitute. The switch charges are very excessive general and in addition stabile to a big extent. We additionally didn’t see any connection issues in observe.

Asus has up to date the webcam and is now utilizing a Full-HD webcam collectively with an IR sensor for face recognition together with Windows Hello. The high quality is barely higher than final yr’s and respectable in good gentle situations.
The backside cowl is secured with Torx screws (T5) and might be eliminated simply. The internal development is dominated by the big battery, and you may also see the 2 fans that may be cleaned. While the M.2 2280 SSD might be changed, all the opposite elements are soldered in.
For a slimmer case, the keystroke normally needs to be diminished, and precisely that can be the case within the Zenbook S 13. While it was nonetheless 1.4 mm (~0.055 in) within the predecessor, it’s now only one.1 mm (~0.043), which can be noticeable. The suggestions continues to be very crisp and it’s under no circumstances a nasty keyboard, however the typing expertise was merely a bit extra snug with the predecessor. The fingerprint sensor within the energy button was simply eliminated with none substitute. The white, three-step keyboard illumination can’t be activated mechanically by way of the brightness sensor.
The massive ClickPad (13 x 8.1 cm, ~5.1 x 3.2 in) provides adequate house for cursor actions and gestures of as much as 4 fingers. The sliding traits are excellent, and the common cursor management works with out a hitch. The backside space of the ClickPad might be pressed down, which is accompanied by some loud clicking noises. In the earlier mannequin, the touchpad may be used as a quantity block, however this function was faraway from the present model.
Asus retains the show specs of the Zenbook S 13 with none modifications, because it continues to make use of a 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen with a refresh fee of 60 Hz. The decision is 2,880 x 1,800 pixels, and the subjective picture high quality continues to be wonderful. In addition, there isn’t any glitter impact (Moiré impact) like within the 2.8K OLED panels of some Lenovo fashions. The panel ID is new, and in accordance with Asus, this can be a barely thinner panel.
As far as brightness is worried, we proceed to have to tell apart between common SDR and HDR contents. In SDR operation, the utmost brightness is ~360 cd/m² with the superb OLED typical brightness distribution. At the identical time, the black worth is 0, inflicting a particularly excessive distinction ratio. In HDR operation, we measure a most of 589 cd/m², which is barely larger than the specification of 550 cd/m². Since final yr, nothing has modified within the unhealthy HDR implementation of Windows. HDR needs to be activated manually, and no colour profiles will then be out there anymore. There is not any display bleeding in OLED shows, and a black picture is solely fully black.

The preinstalled MyAsus app provides numerous colour profiles, which we measured with the skilled CalMAN software program. By default, the “Native” profile is activated, which reproduces the colours barely too saturated, making the picture subjectively seem a bit extra vibrant. In addition, with Display-P3 and sRGB there are additionally two extraordinarily correct profiles if you wish to work on pictures within the corresponding colour areas. These two profiles are already extraordinarily nicely calibrated within the state of supply, in order that we had been unable to additional enhance the show with our personal calibration. Together with the virtually full P3 colour house protection, this is a wonderful efficiency general.
Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response instances present how briskly the display is ready to change from one colour to the following. Slow response instances can result in afterimages and might trigger shifting objects to seem blurry (ghosting). Gamers of quick-paced 3D titles ought to pay particular consideration to quick response instances.
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the display, some notebooks will merely cycle the backlight on and off in speedy succession – a way referred to as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This biking frequency ought to ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If mentioned frequency is just too low, customers with delicate eyes could expertise pressure or complications and even discover the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz | ≤ 57 % brightness setting | |
≤ 88 cd/m² brightness | |||
The show backlight glints at 240 Hz (Likely using PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 57 % (88 cd/m²) and under. There needs to be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 240 Hz is comparatively low, so delicate customers will seemingly discover flickering and expertise eyestrain on the acknowledged brightness setting and under. Flickering happens at comparatively low brightness settings, so prolonged use at this brightness setting or decrease could cause eyestrain. In comparability: 53 % of all examined units don’t use PWM to dim the show. If PWM was detected, a median of 18986 (minimal: 5 – most: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
We have to handle the PWM topic in additional element, since there are a number of components that needs to be thought-about, as within the predecessor. At a brightness of 100%, there isn’t any PWM; within the 58-99% vary, DC dimming at 60 Hz is used; and ranging from 57% (88 cd/m²) and decrease, it’s the basic and probably extra dangerous PWM flickering at 240 Hz. Initially, the DC dimming frequency of 60 Hz sounds worse than it’s, however attributable to its considerably decrease amplitude, you can not examine it with basic PWM and it mustn’t trigger any issues.
Asus continues to supply a software program resolution to scale back the brightness with out entering into the dangerous PWM space. Asus calls this perform “flicker free OLED darkening,” permitting you to proceed to scale back the brightness in steps. In observe, you should not go under the Windows brightness of 60%, and for an extra discount, use the software program as a substitute. Even although Asus supplies a warning notification right here, we’d have after all most popular a extra snug resolution, the place the software program technique is instantly built-in into the Windows settings and the consumer would not be capable of get into the basic PWM space in any respect.
As examples, we measured a number of settings with the 2 fundamental brightness settings and numerous darkening ranges. You can clearly see you could additionally implement decrease brightness ranges with the DC dimming through the use of the software program darkening.
Outdoors, the Zenbook advantages from the extraordinarily excessive distinction, however it nonetheless makes use of a reflective display, which can essentially result in some reflections. The next SDR brightness certainly would even be of some profit right here. The viewing angle stability is superb general, and you’ll solely see the slight blue tint that’s typical for OLED panels from some sure (very steep) viewing angles.
Asus provides three completely different efficiency profiles: Whisper mode, Standard mode, and Performance mode. Due to its loud fans (with out bringing a noticeable efficiency improve), the latter disqualifies itself from getting used. We ran our benchmarks and measurements under in Standard mode. When utilizing Whisper mode, the fans are considerably quieter, however this is not essentially a bonus with the excessive-frequency fan noise. But extra on this later.
The Intel Core i7-1355U from the present Raptor Lake technology provides two quick Performance and eight Efficiency cores. Basically, that is final yr’s Alder Lake Core i7-1255U with barely elevated clock speeds. The processor is allowed to eat as much as 44 watts for brief time intervals, however beneath fixed load, the consumption rapidly drops to about 17 watts.
In the multicore exams, the efficiency is due to this fact solely aggressive for a short while, and the passively cooled MacBook Air M2, for instance, is already quicker within the second run (although Cinebench R15 needs to be emulated right here). Compared to final yr’s Zenbook S 13 with the Ryzen 7 6800U, the multicore efficiency can be considerably worse. Only within the single-core exams can we see a slight benefit of 20% at most, in comparison with the Ryzen 7 6800U. But throughout all CPU benchmarks, the brand new mannequin nonetheless locations 10% behind the Zenbook S 13 from final yr.
In battery operation, the facility consumption is diminished barely additional, and the multicore efficiency drops by about 17%. On the opposite hand, the three% discount of the only-core efficiency is negligible. You can discover further CPU benchmarks right here.

The subjective efficiency impression of the brand new Zenbook S 13 is superb, and all inputs are applied with none noticeable delays. The leads to the artificial benchmarks are common and in elements stay even behind these of the predecessor. However, nothing of that is noticeable in observe.

* … smaller is healthier
We have already recognized the built-in Iris Xe Graphics G7 graphics card from Intel for some time, and the Zenbook makes use of the quicker model with 96 EUs and a most clock velocity of 1,300 MHz. For on a regular basis duties together with the copy of excessive-decision movies, the iGPU can be adequate, however the issue is revealed within the comparability with the Radeon 680M within the predecessor that runs on common 36% quicker in our artificial GPU exams.
In our gaming benchmarks, the distinction in 1080p decision and at excessive particulars is much more pronounced, and the outdated Radeon 680M is even a hefty 56% quicker. This signifies that the gaming efficiency of the brand new Zenbook S 13 is considerably decrease, and should you like gaming, it’s important to scale back the graphic particulars significantly. But at the least, the graphics efficiency stays steady even throughout longer gaming periods. However, the efficiency is 12% decrease in battery operation.

The two small fans clearly symbolize the biggest downside of the Zenbook S 13. While the noise stage stays principally inside limits – so long as you disregard the Performance mode that produces a most of 47.8 dB(A) – the issue is a really excessive-frequency noise. Looking on the chart under, you may assume that the Whisper mode is perhaps the only option, however you may already hear the excessive-frequency noise clearly even at a low fan velocity and it turns into very annoying. In Standard mode, a few of it’s at the least coated by the whirring noise. In addition, the fans additionally rev up rapidly, for instance when enjoying a YouTube video, which makes issues even worse. This downside would undoubtedly symbolize a disqualifying level for us.
