September 18, 2022Pasig City, Philippines, September 16, 2022 — ASUS today announced its newest offering in its premium line of
laptops, the Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) — a 13.3-inch ultraportable 2.8K OLED laptop that
weighs a mere 1 kilogram, making it the world's lightest in its class[ii]. Making this milestone memorable and stylish, ASUS
celebrates Filipino craftsmanship with its collaboration with homegrown brand
Zarah Juan.
Premium
look that stands out
The premium Zenbook S 13
OLED is lighter than any other 13.3-inch laptop in its class, with a sleek 1
kg-light, 14.9 mm-thin chassis made entirely from durable magnesium-aluminum
alloy. It’s the ultimate ultraportable laptop for effortless on-the-go productivity
and creativity.
The all-new contemporary
design features the new monogram logo on the lid. Finished in four
sophisticated new colors — Ponder Blue, Aqua Celadon, Vestige Beige, and
Refined White — Zenbook S 13 OLED is designed to stand out, yet it blends in
anywhere.
Despite its thin and light
form factor, the Zenbook S13 OLED is built to be extra tough with MIL-STD 810H
military standard, making sure it’s durable and reliable for daily use in any
environment.
Premium
vision with OLED screen
Any visuals will look
better on Zenbook S 13 OLED’s gorgeous 2.8K OLED HDR Dolby Vision display. The
expansive 16:10 aspect ratio provides a bigger workspace, and the four-sided
NanoEdge design with ultra slim bezels creates more screen area for an
immersive viewing experience. The super-bright PANTONE Validated screen is
color-accurate with a 100% DCI-P3 gamut for ultra-vivid colors and is VESA
DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified for deeper blacks and ultrahigh contrast.
It’s also TÜV Rheinland-certified for eye care, so the user's eyes will stay
comfortable even during long viewing sessions.
For unrivaled audio
quality, Zenbook S 13 OLED has a stereo sound system that supports Dolby Atmos,
indulging the listener in their favorite entertainment with sound that moves
all around with breathtaking realism in music, movies, and TV.
Premium,
dependable performance
Zenbook S 13 OLED may be
#LighterThanAir, but it is a dependable, high-performance companion, powerfully
equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U Mobile Processor, up to 16 GB of fast
RAM, and AMD Radeon mobile graphics, so users can confidently tackle any work
or leisure task, wherever they are. Its ultrafast up to 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD
ensures fast boot times and instant app loads.
With its long-lasting
high-capacity 67Wh battery and up to 19-hour battery life, Zenbook S 13 OLED
needs fewer trips to the power outlet when the user is out and about. And when
it’s time for a top-up, the fast-charge technology can take it to 60% capacity
in as little as 49 minutes, so there’s no need to break the flow. With ASUS
USB-C Easy Charge, it can be quickly charged using a USB-C Power
Delivery-certified charger or topped up with any standard USB-C charger such as
an airline charger, a portable charger, or a power bank.
Zenbook S 13 OLED features
the latest WiFi 6E that loads online content in the blink of an eye, enhanced
by the exclusive ASUS WiFi Master Premium fine-tuning technologies and software
features that help deliver speed, stability, and wide coverage.
Premium
user experience

To keep Zenbook S 13 OLED
hygienic, it’s protected by ASUS Antibacterial Guard[iii] — a special surface treatment that keeps the bugs
at bay. In fact, Antibacterial Guard has been scientifically proven[iv] to inhibit the growth of bacteria by more than 99%
over a 24-hour period, ensuring the surfaces of the laptop stay clean and
sanitary for longer and reducing the spread of potentially harmful bacteria via
contact.

optimization to ensure the best hybrid working and video conferencing
experience. Zenbook S 13 OLED also features the new full-size ASUS ErgoSense

but Zenbook S 13 OLED has all the I/O ports you need. The USB-C ports support
Power Delivery and 4K external displays for enhanced productivity. There’s also
a convenient headphone jack for your wired audio needs.
