ASUS Zenbook S16 OLED UM5605WA 16.0' 3K 120Hz OLED Touchscreen Laptop (AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, UK Layout Backlit Keyboard, Windows 11 Home, Wi-Fi 7)

Absolute beast of a laptop. It is the best laptop I ever owned. Build quality is amazing and the case is full aluminium. The CNC logo on the lid adds a nice touch. It looks great closed or open. The OLED screen is second to none, and it is great to type on. The touchpad is also quite nice. The battery life is great for such a powerful CPU. It plays many games that you would not expect an iGPU to be able to play. The ratio of the display is the old fashioned 16:9 which is very good for media consumption and gaming, as it does not have to display black bars like on 16:10 or 3:2 displays. The CPU and GPU generate a bit of heat but the cooling system is very adequate. 10/10 for the price

Stunning laptop combined with superb performance and graphics! Delivered in equally exquisite packaging. Real style and sophistication! The only negative for me has nothing to do with the laptop itself but concerned Windows update failures souring an otherwise great experience to date. Obviously that affects any laptop. 10 out of 10 for the laptop!

Let's start with the positives. It's a good-looking laptop, which is thin and light. Screen is excellent, with rich realistic colours. The AMD AI 9 365 processor, with 32 GB of RAM, is very snappy, and more than capable of running video editing software programs such as DaVinci Resolve, and light gaming. On battery, it's virtually silent when running light programs. It also runs very cool. The negatives. It claims to have up to 14 hours of battery life, however, this is based on things like watching a video with the Wi-Fi turned off, at its lowest screen brightness. In reality, 6 to 8 hours, is a more realistic figure when doing normal light tasks. When the laptop is connected to a power source, the fans spin up, even when just using a web browser. Is not noisy by any means, but you can definitely hear it. I suspect it's something the do with fast charge, which creates too much heat. When the screen is set to 120 Hz, which is the default setting when it's plugged into the mains, the screen occasionally blinks/flickers. This problem was improved via a BIOS and graphics card update, however, these updates created even more problems. The laptop then constantly crashed, i.e. the blue screen of death, especially when running demanding programs. I've also read another review, stating that the laptop constantly crashes, therefore it may not be an isolated problem, but either a hardware or software problem with this particular laptop. In the end, I had to return the laptop. It's a shame, because it's got great specs, at a reasonable price.

Very very disappointing. Not at all fast,despite installing the most recent drivers & bios it remains slow,it takes me back to the days of Intel 386 CPU speeds Very well made,and the screen is top class,these are the only plus points I can give this Laptop. An update on the above !!!! When connected to charger and the default fan speed is increased to performance,the laptop becomes a different machine.It's fast responsive and the fan is only noticeable when running a program like Adobe Premier or a similar graphics intensive program.I now reate this to 4 stars and change the title to Competent Laptop.

I have not thoroughly tested it. See some hiccups with Japanese menu, fixed it already. But then why I rated 5 stars? 2 things: 1) Config: Ryzen AI 9 365 + 32 GB RAM, and 2) Price. I am pretty sure you can't find this price elsewhere. I turned it on, it works fine. As mentioned, not tested it thoroughly, but for the reasons above, it is 5 stars. If you are looking for a new AI PC and do not want to give £1000+ for a similar config, look nowhere. If you look for a perfect laptop with hardware and software both perfect, you should check it yourself if it fits.

It's early days yet but this is looking good. This review is probably of limited value to most people as I don't use MS Windows. I installed openSUSE Linux, which is very fast on this laptop. I need to do photo editing, so the 32GB of RAM are mandatory as is the 1TB SSD. The OLED screen is very good with an excellent gamut - again necessary for photos. The GPU is pretty good as well. I have yet to see how well the battery lasts but there is no excessive heat build up so it's looking promising.

Very nice laptop, lightweight, extremely fast, amazing screen and audio. Not listed as a 'Gaming' PC, but the on board video is enough to play my steam games better than my steam deck! (Bioshock Remastered, it takes 2, split fiction). Nothing bad so far, though not sure just how long the battery does last, I need to use the laptop a bit more to confirm. Confusing advert, all documentation listed for 15.6" screen, but ordering options only for S14 or S16 version. I can confirm that I received the 15.6" screen on the S14 option.

What a fantastic laptop!!!! So i have had multiple laptops since my last laptop just busted and i needed a new one. Tried dell, tried ones with a snapdragon x processor. All of them performed appalling. They would crash upon opening it. All sent back and saw this and opted for it. Wow, exceeds my expectations in every single way. Im someone who has multiple tabs open all the time, whether it be amazon, youtube, twitter etc. This has never performed slow or struggled in terms of speed. The battery is fantastic, i can have it unplugged and lasting 6+ hours easy. I think if i wanted, it would easily last 10+ hours. Never makes noise. Brightness is fantastic. Easy to move around with. The only thing i can possible fault it on is it has no fingerprint scanner. I had that on my old one and made signing in easy but outside of that, this thing is as perfect as it gets.

Dent in one of the USB ports, had to return. Box also damaged. New laptop and already had damage to it.
