ASUS Sri Lanka, the local operations of the Taiwanese tech giant ASUS, has announced the exciting new Zenbook S 13 OLED (UX5304), the world’s slimmest 13.3-inch OLED laptop, with a sleek 1cm profile and a super-light 1kg chassis, boasting the most eco-friendly Zenbook ever made. 
This Thincredible Zenbook (UX5304) takes centre stage as ASUS launches its 13th Gen Laptop series in Sri Lanka.


To achieve such levels of slimness, several advanced techniques and materials are used in the Zenbook S 13 OLED design and construction that help to reduce the weight and dimensions compared to the previous generation, without compromising performance, connectivity or battery life. It is available in brand-new Basalt Gray or classic Ponder Blue.
The Zenbook S 13 OLED is also designed with the environment and carbon neutrality firmly in mind, using recycled metals and plastics in its construction, FSC Mix-certified packaging, an elegant new eco-friendly plasma ceramic aluminum for the Basalt Gray model and halogen-free electronics, to make this the most eco-friendly Zenbook model ever produced.


The Intel Evo-certified Zenbook S 13 OLED delivers the perfect blend of performance and portability, featuring up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor that can be boosted by 20 percent to a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 20 watts. This is supported by up to 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and an ultrafast 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD, with a long-lasting high-capacity 63 Wh battery. WiFi 6E enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master Premium ensures fast, stable connections. 


Even though it’s ultra-compact, Zenbook S 13 OLED includes a full complement of I/O ports, so users don’t need to carry dongles or adapters on their travels. The two ultrafast Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports support fast charging, 4K external displays and up to 40 Gbps data transfers and there’s also a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
For enhanced video conferencing experiences on the go, the FHD IR camera includes AI-powered visual effects and AI noise-cancelation technology. It also supports fast and secure face login with Windows Hello. The powerful Harman Kardon-certified audio system with immersive Dolby Atmos sound has a smart amplifier combined with ASUS Audio Booster technology to boost volume by up to 5.25X.


For immersive, true-to-life visuals, the Zenbook S 13 OLED has a 16:10 2.8K (2880 x 1800) ASUS Lumina OLED display that’s Dolby Vision certified, with Pantone Validated colour rendering and VESA Display HDRTrue Black 500 certification, ensuring incredible detail and the deepest black levels. The display is also certified for eye care by TÜV Rheinland and SGS with 70 percent-lower blue-light emissions, ensuring that the user’s eyes are comfortable for even during long viewing sessions.
