Ryzen continues to show how efficient an x86 platform can be on battery life. Battery Life on the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED I think Asus could do one better and go 3:2 for even more vertical space here, like Microsoft's Surface lineup, though that's a personal preference of mine. But the MacBook won out again at 435 nits, while the Yoga 9i (352 nits) and Ideapad Slim 7 Carbon (369 nits) were also both a bit brighter.Īsus has gone with a 16:10 aspect ratio here, which is nice because it provides more vertical real estate than a standard 16:9 screen. That's more vibrant than the LED screen on the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but the OLED panels on Lenovo's Yoga 9i Gen 7 and IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon won out on both color spectrums.Īt 321 nits of brightness, the Zenbook S 13 is absolutely usable. The Asus Zenbook S 13's OLED screen proved decently vivid at 126% of the sRGB color gamut and 89.3% of the DCI-P3 gamut. That short film has lots of neon colors, including pinks and greens that popped off black walls in a lab.
ASUS DRIVER UPDATE FOR ASUS SUPPORT DEVICE 1080P
Sure, this screen isn't 4K, but I also needed something better than the 1080p video I watched on it in my spare time to push this thing. I used the 13.3-inch screen to watch Tears of Steel, our 4K test video. But it's not as bright or vivid as some other panels with the same technology that we measured with our colorimeter and lightmeter. I had no complaints when I used it that's for sure. If you like deep blacks and pops of color, the Zenbook S 13 OLED's 2880 x 1800 touchscreen delivers.
It just happens to work moderately well as a lightweight gaming solution if you keep your expectations in check. Ideally, we'd like to see games keeping minimums above 30 fps at 1080p, but this isn't actually a gaming laptop as such.
We'll be doing more graphics performance comparisons of competing solutions going forward, using these same settings. At the same time, the Ryzen 7 6800U was able to do this within a 15W power envelope, and it's certainly more capable than the special Van Gogh processor in the Steam Deck - it has twice as many CPU cores, running the newer Zen 3+ architecture, paired with 12 RDNA 2 compute units (50% more than the Steam Deck). The 680M was about 80% faster on average, though do note the more recent MX450 and MX550 are quite a bit more potent. We did run some comparison tests against a few other laptops we had handy, with Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs) and a GeForce MX330. These are also relatively demanding games, so lighter fare shouldn't be a problem. 1920x1080 and medium quality was still asking just a bit too much of the integrated Radeon 680M, but adjusting the resolution to 1600x900 should get most games into the 30 fps or higher range.
