Deal | Strix Point Asus Zenbook S16 OLED laptop with Ryzen AI 9 365 enjoys sweet first discount

After much hype, AMD officially launched the Zen 5-based Strix Point APUs this summer. Asus was one of the first manufacturers to build notebooks around the APUs in the Asus Zenbook S16 and the Vivobook S14. The Asus Zenbook S16 is the more premium of the two and is geared towards users who want a sleek productivity machine that can also double as a multimedia powerhouse.

As is often the case with Windows laptops, the 2024 Asus Zenbook S16 has gotten its maiden discount only a few months after launch. You can now get the Zenbook S16 with a Ryzen AI 9 365 APU for only $1,199.99 at Best Buy. This is a discount of $200 on the $1,399.99 list price.

Aside from the Ryzen AI 9 365 Strix Point APU, the Asus Zenbook S16 on sale features 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a 1 TB Gen 4 SSD, and a 16-inch 1800p OLED display. The screen refreshes a smooth 120 Hz, supports touch/stylus input, covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut, and has an advertised 500 nits of brightness.

Fortunately, Asus’ claims regarding the OLED panel correspond with our measurements. The panel on our test unit delivered 391 nits of average brightness that should shoot to 500 nits in HDR. Additionally, the screen covered full sRGB/DCI-P3 and 95% AdobeRGB. Add in the characteristic contrast of OLEDs and out-of-the-box color accuracy and you can use the Asus Zenbook S16 for both editing and entertainment.

While we are on the subject, the Asus Zenbook S16 should handle tasks like editing just fine for most people. The combination of a 10-core Zen 5 CPU and an RDNA 3.5 Radeon 880M gives the TDP-limited Ryzen AI 9 365 enough performance to keep the Zenbook S16 snappy. From loading webpages to playing lighter titles like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the laptop handles everything quite well.

Finally, the Zenbook S16 also has solid battery life, as it lasted for 12 hours in our WLAN test.

Long story short, if you want a thin and light Windows laptop with a beautiful OLED panel and good performance, the Asus Zenbook S16 checks a lot of the boxes.
