Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ZenBook S 14 UX5406SA-PV052W

With its Zumaia Gray compact metal design, thin and light, CNC machined certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H, it has an elegant and discreet look.

This Ultrabook integrates good connectivity with its Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 be wireless modules (more recent and efficient than Wi-Fi 6 ax) to communicate and connect remotely, its 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, its audio port or its USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device.

Biometric authentication by facial recognition is possible via the Infrared functionality of the webcam and Windows Hello.

You can obviously activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard whenever you need to better discern your keys.

A major advantage of this configuration, the screen is ready for High Definition because it is 2.8K (higher than Full HD) and offers a DCI-P3 OLED High Fidelity display guaranteeing – in addition to great colorimetric accuracy – very deep blacks, significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles but also minimal latency. This is coupled to the frequency of 120Hz (compared to 60Hz as standard) to ensure great fluidity on a daily basis.
The screen, whose 16:10 format is more comfortable in height than the classic 16:9, has a glossy treatment due to its OLED technology. As a result, the colors are bright but sensitivity to reflections is present in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).

Because in 2.8K more calculations are necessary than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

This laptop PC is also suitable for modest multimedia processing using RAM and multi-core (and AI), such as photo editing or video content encoding.

The storage is also energy efficient since it is entrusted to an energy-efficient SSD, in addition to being shock-resistant, silent and even fast.
This velocity provides great responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.

Thanks to the SSD, starts/stops, processing and application launches are quick, and you can quickly access online game cards.

Here we find a 1000 GB SSD, significant capacity for installing and storing quantities of applications and files.
