ASUS has introduced the Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) in the United States, available for purchase through the ASUS Store and Best Buy. This model is equipped with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processors (256V and 258V variants), positioning it as one of the most portable and compact 14-inch laptops in its category. The Zenbook S 14 is constructed using ASUS's proprietary Ceraluminum material, a ceramic hybrid that enhances durability while maintaining a lightweight profile. The device measures just over 0.4 inches in thickness, achieved through advanced CNC machining techniques that also contribute to its unique geometric grille design and expanded touchpad area. It is offered in Zumaia Gray and Scandinavian White, reflecting a functional aesthetic that blends technical performance with minimalist design.
The Zenbook S 14 is engineered to deliver performance in a slim form factor, leveraging next-generation AI capabilities. Powered by Intel's Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processors with a system-on-chip (SoC) design, the laptop benefits from a 27% reduction in motherboard size, which enhances cooling efficiency. The integration of LPDDR5X DRAM allows for higher bandwidth and lower latency by minimizing the distance between the CPU and memory. This configuration supports up to 32GB of RAM and a 1TB PCIe® 4.0 SSD, ensuring high performance and reliability for demanding applications. The device also features a 72Wh battery, providing extended usage time. User interaction is streamlined with a dedicated Windows Copilot key and an enlarged touchpad that supports smart gestures for adjusting settings like audio and brightness. Connectivity options include two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, HDMI® 2.1, and an audio combo jack, all supported by WiFi 7 with ASUS WiFi Master Premium certification for optimal network performance.
In terms of audiovisual capabilities, the Zenbook S 14 is equipped with a 3K 120Hz Lumina OLED display, which is Pantone Validated and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified, ensuring accurate color reproduction and high dynamic range performance. The audio system is developed in collaboration with Harman Kardon, delivering multi-dimensional Dolby Atmos® sound for an immersive listening experience. The laptop incorporates an advanced vapor-chamber cooling system with dual IceBlade fans, maintaining ambient noise levels below 25dB while supporting up to 28W TDP performance. Security features include Windows passkeys, Microsoft Pluton integration for enhanced protection, and Windows Hello facial recognition for secure and convenient access. Additionally, the ASUS AiSense IR camera supports Adaptive Lock and Adaptive Dimming, which monitor user presence and adjust screen brightness to protect privacy. The Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) is priced starting at $1,399.99
