What Asus is aiming for here is obvious. to establish a new standard for thinness in laptops—Windows and Mac alike. Consider these figures for a moment. The 11.3mm thick Apple MacBook Air has long been considered the industry standard for very thin notebooks without sacrificing performance. When you insert it into the bag, it is completely closed. With a thickness of only 16.4mm, HP's most recent Dragonfly G4 laptop is regarded as one of the slimmest in the Windows laptop market. Peak reduction in weight, for portable computers? You would respond in the affirmative. I lift you this 10.9 mm because I see you. Nearly a sizable tablet region? This laptop is the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED from 2024.
Rekindle the somewhat dormant fixation with ever-slimmer computer devices that has dimmed over the past several years. The competition will need to react. Add to it the weight reduction: the 2024 ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED weighs around 1kg, which is approximately 1kg less than the most recent MacBook Air 13 (1.24kg) and about the same as the Dragonfly (1kg). Along with plasma ceramic aluminum, which is the first of its type to be utilized on laptops, this alloy of aluminum is used for the chassis.
The starting price of the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED 2024 is ₹1,29,990. That includes the HP EliteBook (around ₹1,20,000), the HP Spectre X360 OLED (which starts at ₹1,49,999 and uses older Intel CPUs), and the Dell XPS 13 (₹1,24,490, which uses older Intel chips). With the Intel Core Ultra chip updates, Asus undoubtedly not only has an early mover edge over its competitors, but also a substantial price to value ratio.
The metallic finish adds a hint of sparkle to the very attractive matte appearance of the lid on the Ponder Blue variant we are discussing here. The redesigned Zenbook monogram has a more subdued accent, and there's a really appealing pattern of straight lines. quite appropriate, with the delicacy you would anticipate from a high-end laptop. When you open the lid, you'll see a great attention to detail at work: the lid's design turns it into a partial hinge that gently raises the keyboard deck. This just works for me because I like to type with my laptop up from the back.
