Case, connections, screen Asus ZenBook S 13 OLED UX5304VA-NQ143W
Compact, thin and light, with a weight limit of 1 kg, this versatile notebook, certified to the US military MIL-STD-810G reliability standard, has a discreet appearance with a basalt gray design.
This ultrabook combines good connectivity thanks to two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E wireless modules for remote communication and connectivity, an audio port and a practical HDMI video output, allowing you to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, or USB 3.0 (compatible with USB 2.0), guaranteeing data transfer up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when a USB 3.0 device is connected to it.
Biometric authentication is possible through facial recognition on this laptop using infrared webcam technology and Windows Hello.
In low-light conditions, you can obviously activate the Chiclet keyboard’s backlight to better distinguish its keys.
The screen will please fans of high-definition content as its 2.8K resolution is higher than Full HD, combined with a 16:10 aspect ratio that displays more elements in height than the standard 16:9 format.
The screen also features OLED DCI-P3 performance, delivering well-above-average colorimetric accuracy, very deep blacks, reduced latency, and significant viewing angles both horizontally and vertically.
Since it’s OLED, the screen has a glossy finish that adds richness to colors but is susceptible to glare in bright environments (like outdoors).
Performance, battery life Asus ZenBook S 13 OLED UX5304VA-NQ143W
The Asus ZenBook S 13 OLED UX5304VA-NQ143W is designed for those who want an easy-to-carry High Definition High Fidelity laptop for everyday, all-around use on the go.
Nomads, such as those looking for a High Definition High Fidelity student laptop, may be enticed by the fact that it is very easy to transport as it is compact, thin and light, especially since it has a battery life of around 8 hours with light use.
It is logical that, given the thinness of the body and autonomy, this ultrabook is based on low-power components. This is the case with 16 GB of RAM and a Core i7-1355U Intel Raptor Lake processor with 10 hybrid cores and integrated Iris Xe graphics.
This core provides very good performance in everyday use, thanks to which we can watch photos and HD videos, as well as play light and modest games with settings. Reducing the screen resolution is desirable because 2.8K requires more graphics computation than Full HD, resulting in fewer frames per second.
Or even do light media processing using RAM and multi-core processors, such as light photo editing or video conversion.
Storage is up to the mark as it uses a 1000GB SSD to install and store a host of programs and files.
While an SSD easily competes with hard drives in terms of capacity, it offers a number of advantages over the latter: greater shock resistance, lower power consumption, quiet operation, or even greater speed.
As a result, an SSD provides much better smoothness and responsiveness in everyday work than a hard drive.
This manifests itself, in particular, in much faster startup/stopping, processing and launching of applications, or even faster access to online game maps.
