S14 (UX5406), one of the thinnest and most portable PCs on the market, combining performance and sophistication. The premium Zenbook S14 features a new functional aesthetic and has been completely redesigned inside and out. The chassis features ASUS' innovative Ceraluminum™, a high-tech ceramic hybrid material available in a variety of colors inspired by nature. This industry-first material offers exceptional strength, easily resisting scratches and wear.

The Zenbook S14 is powered by the latest AI-enabled Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 (Series 2) processor and Intel Arc™ graphics, offering up to 48 TOPS NPUs. Advanced CNC milling allows the integration of an ultra-thin vapor chamber into the ultra-quiet ambient cooling system – unique for such a slim device – ensuring up to 28 watts TDP CPU performance with minimal noise. The functional design features a dedicated Copilot key and an enlarged 16:10 seamless touchscreen touchpad that supports smart gestures.

The ASUS Lumina 3K 120Hz OLED display and powerful four-speaker audio system deliver captivating entertainment, delivering an authentic cinematic experience. Robust security is ensured by the Microsoft Pluton security processor, and the new Windows Keys feature securely stores authentication data. Enhanced biometric security and privacy features, powered by the AiSense IR camera system, include facial recognition for automatic login and logout, Adaptive Lock and Adaptive Dimming.

A mix of art and technology
Designed with a functional aesthetic, the Zenbook S 14 features ASUS' innovative Ceraluminum material, which provides durability and a sleek design. After four years refining the colors, textures and hardness of this material, the results are outstanding. Using cutting-edge CNC technology, the Zenbook S 14 achieves a remarkable thinness of just 1.1 cm, housing advanced components, including a vapor chamber cooling system. It is the only laptop that combines such thinness and functionality, highlighting the commitment to top-notch performance and portability. CNC milling also creates the unique geometric grid design over the keyboard and expanded touchpad area. The laptop is available in two nature-inspired shades: Zumaia Gray and Scandinavian White.

The Zenbook S 14's sustainable design extends to the optional sleeve, which, inspired by nature, is made from GRS-certified recycled polyester. This case embodies a commitment to ecological and sustainable innovation.

Zenbook does more
The Zenbook S 14 delivers next-generation AI capabilities in an ultra-slim form factor. It is equipped with up to the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) processor with system-on-chip (SoC) design. The SoC design reduces motherboard size by 27% to increase overall cooling efficiency and integrates premium low-power LPDDR5X DRAM into a compact package. This second factor shortens the distance between the CPU and memory, allowing greater bandwidth and lower latency, ensuring better stability and superior performance. With up to 32 GB of fast RAM and up to 1 TB of PCIe® 4.0 SSD, the processor features a TDP of up to 28 watts and an integrated NPU that offers up to 48 NPU TOPS for modern AI applications, ensuring that the 72Wh battery provides all-day battery life. The user experience is fluid and intuitive, with a dedicated Windows Copilot key on the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard for instant Windows AI assistance and an enlarged touchpad that matches the display's 16:10 aspect ratio. This improves comfort and ease of use, allowing quick adjustments to audio volume, screen brightness and more using smart gestures. The ultra-compact Zenbook S 14 features a full set of I/O ports, including two Thunderbolt™ 4, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI® 2.1, and a combo audio jack. The ASUS WiFi Master Premium certified WiFi 7 ensures fast and reliable connections.

Captivating audiovisuals
The ASUS Lumina 3K 120Hz OLED display is Pantone® validated and DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 certified. It delivers lifelike visuals with exceptional color and HDR performance, including 100% DCI-P3 gamut to ensure vivid colors. The Zenbook S 14 features a powerful four-speaker Harman Kardon-certified audio system, a remarkable engineering feat in such a slim device. It provides full-range, multi-dimensional Dolby Atmos® sound, delivering a truly immersive and realistic audiovisual experience.

Silent and safe
The Zenbook S 14 prioritizes noise reduction with an advanced ultra-thin vapor chamber cooling system that features dual IceBlade fans, enabling sub-25 dB ambient cooling mode while enabling up to 28W TDP performance, when needed.

The geometric grille above the keyboard maximizes airflow and minimizes the entry of dust or dirt. User privacy and security are paramount, supported by Windows and Microsoft Pluton keys, which integrate hardware, firmware and software to defend against evolving threats. Windows Hello facial recognition ensures secure access without having to remember passwords. The ASUS AiSense IR camera enables Adaptive Lock, which monitors the user's presence and locks the laptop when the user walks away, and Adaptive Dimming improves privacy by dimming the screen when the user looks away.
