Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ZenBook S 13 OLED UX5304MA-NQ059W
Robust due to its compliance with the American military durability standard MIL-STD-810G, this laptop PC has a discreet appearance due to its Basalt Gray design, compact, thin and light since it weighs only 1 kg.
The connectivity integrated into this ultraportable is good, including 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 in addition to 1 practical USB 3.2 for easily connecting peripherals and obtaining fast transfers, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, an audio port as well as an HDMI video output thanks to which you can easily connect this Ultrabook to a monitor or projector for example.
As the webcam has Infrared technology, you can authenticate biometrically by facial recognition via Windows Hello.
As soon as it is difficult to distinguish the keys, you can simply activate the backlighting functionality of the chiclet keyboard, certainly expected but always practical.
The screen represents a major asset of this configuration since it is equipped with 2.8K High Definition coupled with OLED technology providing very deep blacks, DCI-P3 colorimetric High Fidelity, low latency for great fluidity as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical.
The OLED is, as always, accompanied by a shiny coating which gives punch to the colors but induces sensitivity to reflections in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Thanks to its 16/10th format, higher than the standard 16/9th, the screen displays more information vertically.

Nomads like some wishing to equip themselves with a student laptop will appreciate this Ultrabook, which is very easy to carry on a daily basis thanks to its compactness, finesse and lightness (1 kg!). Especially since its autonomy is around 10 hours of battery operation in light use.
To offer such autonomy, this laptop relies on energy-efficient components like its otherwise silent and very fast SSD storage.
The SSD, which clearly contributes to good responsiveness/fluidity on a daily basis, offers a high storage capacity of 1000 GB, very comfortable for installing and storing many applications and files.
Concretely starting/stopping and launching software is quick under this laptop PC powered by a low consumption Intel Core Ultra 7 155U processor Meteor Lake with AI capacity equipped with 12 hybrid cores in addition to the Iris Xe graphics module.
Supported by 16 GB of RAM, the Core Ultra 7 155U delivers good performance in everyday use, such as web browsing, office automation, watching photos and HD videos or even occasionally carrying out small multimedia processing using multi-cores, RAM and Artificial Intelligence, such as light video encoding or photo editing.
Playing light games is possible. But only if we agree to adjustments. We are clearly thinking of a reduction in screen definition because playing in 2.8K requires more graphics calculations than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
