- The figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual performance may vary in real-world situations.
- Free update to Copilot+ PC experiences, when available.
- Screen simulated, subject to change. Copilot in Windows (in preview) is available in select global markets and will be rolled out to additional markets over time. The Copilot key will be available on many new Windows PCs starting in early 2024. When Copilot in Windows is not enabled on the device, pressing the Copilot key will launch Windows Search See aka.ms/WindowsAIFeatures
- Thickness might vary according to specifications.
- The visual appearance of OLED displays may change over the product’s lifetime. This is expected behavior that can include image persistence or burn-in, where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This tends to occur only in extreme use cases, such as when a static, high-contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimize this risk by setting Windows’s Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimizes the potential for burn-in to maximize the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjust the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows Settings tool.
- Weight may vary by specifications.
- Average tested result in MyASUS Splendid Display P3 and sRGB color gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.
- Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emissions of blue light between 415-455 nm wavelengths.
- To further maximize the protection of your OLED laptop, ASUS has included OLED Care settings such as pixel refresh and pixel shifting, which are turned on by default. It’s important to note that if any burn-in issues do occur within the warranty period, which might vary by country, ASUS offers a free exchange service for the affected OLED laptop as long as the user did not manually turn off the OLED Care functions.
- The color-temperature-adjustment feature is available with OLED models only.
- Testing done on discrete parts, using soda-lime glass as comparative reference. Figures and tests provided by Corning.
- Battery tests conducted by ASUS on June. 2024 using the 1080p Video Playback scenario. Test configuration: Zenbook UM5606HA, 3K OLED panel, AMD Ryzen™AI 9 HX processor, 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM. Test settings: WiFi enabled but disconnected (not connected to any access point), Windows Power Plan set to Balanced, display brightness set to 150 cd/m2. Actual battery life may vary depending on product configuration, usage, operational conditions and power management settings. Battery life will decrease over the lifetime of the battery.
- This data is derived from ASUS laboratory testing, which involves simulating daily charging frequency as the testing standard. The actual lifespan of the battery may differ depending on factors such as product configuration, usage patterns, operational conditions, and power management settings. Over time, the battery’s longevity will naturally decrease. For more comprehensive information, please refer to the provided link. https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051114
- Theoretical speed difference between Wi-Fi 7 (160 MHz, 4096 QAM version), and Wi-Fi 6 (80 MHz, 1024 QAM version).
- The Multi-Link Operation function, which allows the laptop to switch to the strongest Wi-Fi signal automatically, only works when the router is also Wi-Fi 7 compatible.
- The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810H testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810H testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.

ASUS ErgoSense keyboard, comfortable typing experience
Your comfort is our highest priority. That’s why the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard has an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum key bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision. Experience the ErgoSense keyboard and you’ll soon find yourself cruising effortlessly through your work.
Larger key cap with 19.05 mm key pitch
The full-size 19.05 mm key pitch is the same as a desktop keyboard, so you can whizz through your work with superb typing comfort and accuracy.
Dished key caps 0.1 mm
The 0.1 mm key-cap dish is designed to match the shape of your fingertips so your fingers are gently guided to the ideal contact point with the keys.
Long key travel 1.1 mm
The long 1.1 mm key travel lets you type without having to use too much force. And the special ASUS-designed rubber dome guarantees your click force is met with just the right tactile bump you need for a nice grip.
Optimal click ratio: Engineered to perfection
The feel of a keyboard depends on the crucial ratio between the peak force (also known as the actuation force) and the contact force. Peak force occurs when you press down on the key and reach the maximum force that the key’s underlying rubber dome can withstand without deflecting. Contact force occurs when the bottom of the key touches the circuit board to trigger an electronic signal, which in turn generates the action appropriate to the key. To achieve the most natural feel for a keyboard, ASUS keyboard experts have scientifically determined that the optimal ergonomic click ratio for a key is between 45-60%. These forces are precisely measured and tuned using the ASUS-designed rubber domes beneath the keys.
ASUS ErgoSense touchpad, smooth as new, with every touch
The latest ASUS ErgoSense touchpad is engineered to enable an unrivaled input experience that’s in harmony with how you move, feel and scroll.
Enhanced click depth
To further enhance your efficiency and creativity, the ErgoSense touchpad of Zenbook S 16 is 40% bigger than the previous generation. It also has a longer 0.23 mm click depth that’s optimal for a great feel with natural feedback. It also helps to dramatically cut down on unintended activations.
Quiet touchpad
Our revolutionary silent touchpad technology utilizes a silent dome-switch sheet to reduce the impact force of pressing, effectively eliminating annoying noise and enhancing your personal space, as well as the comfort of those around you.
Ultra-smooth touchpad
The hydrophobic coating applied to the ErgoSense touchpad has a high water-contact angle. This means the nanotech-like surface provides smoother feedback for every scrolling movement. It’s like touching silk!
Anti-fingerprint touchpad
We apply a high-end PVD anti-fingerprint coating that ensures excellent resistance to wear and tear. This coating also makes the surface really easy to clean. And even after more than 6,000 slides, the touchpad will still be as smooth as new.
Multitouch gestures
The ErgoSense touchpad supports multitouch gestures in Windows, so you can use three- or four-finger shortcuts to launch frequently-used applications or functions.
