Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED
Apple’s walled garden isn’t for everyone. For Windows users, we usually like to recommend the Dell XPS 13. But now that Dell’s split that line’s higher-end models off into a new chassis with a keyboard that we found frustrating to deal with, we’re instead giving our accolades to the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED.
This year saw both Asus and Acer, often unsung when it comes to their productivity laptops, pushing out machines that rival MacBooks in power, weight, battery life, and display quality. AMD’s Ryzen 6000 series chips are no joke, and when you attach them to a high resolution 16:10 OLED screen, you’ve got a compelling alternative to a MacBook.
11 hours and 10 minutes of battery life isn’t quite Apple level, sure. But it’s more than enough to last you through a single work day. That Star Trek-like logo on the S 13 OLED’s lid seems to indicate that Asus is moving towards the future.
