Asus ZenBook S 16 OLED laptop review: Premiere for Ryzen AI 9 365 and Radeon 880M

[Redaktion]

The ZenBook S 16 OLED is one of the first devices on the market to be equipped with AMD's brand new AI 9 processors. Having already tested a model based on the HX 370 (Radeon 890M), it was now the turn of the 365 model (Radeon 880M). How does the 16-incher fare against the competition and the last generation?

NikoB, I'm quite sure if you keep stalking and abusing NBC in the end they will just hand logs over to police and you'll get a surprise arrest when you enter EU or any country with extradition agreement. You are dumb enough (because you keep "fighting" with what seems to be a script) so I'm pretty sure you've leaked your identity to NBC long ago.
But if you don't leave Russia, please keep on embarrassing yourself, it's funny.

Thanks for the review!

I'm surprised that the full S16 gets +20% CPU (even +40% in a cinebench) with +20% cores because my main takeaway from the S16-12c review was that TDP limits held it back, whereas the Vivobook had more room to boost.  So I was hoping the cheaper CPU here could stay closer to the 370 perfwise.

Or is it fair to say that the TDP constraint mostly held back the GPU?

Perhaps having the Vivobook S14 in all the charts would help to compare with "same CPU/GPU but more TDP"?

I can't believe these don't go worse reviews solely for the fact they are unusably hot. I had to return mine because I couldn't watch YouTube with it on my laptop because the vents got so hot. I even emailed Asus and they said "it's not meant to be used in your lap". It's a laptop lol. So many of the customer reviews say the same. This should tank the review because it's unusable. It's not a gaming laptop it's an ultra book.

If you compare zenbook's touchpad with macbook's one, how bad it is? I doubt it is haptic touchpad. Thanks

very interesting showcase of 880m. Appear to me its performace almost identical to 780m. RNDA 3.0 = RNDA 3.5 case is close, only by adding some more shraders into 890m can it outperform 780m, so many prediction that intel XE2 would better previous XE, but yeah AI performance!!! that is why in specs you would not see how many TFLOPS new cards RDNA 3.5 and XE2 can do, but only AI TFLOPS...

If these claims hold any weight, it's worth considering the intricate web of consequences that could arise. In a world where every digital footprint becomes fodder for algorithms, governments, and shadowy alliances, the line between personal action and systemic response blurs. What might seem like harmless conflict could trigger cascades through legal frameworks and multinational cooperation networks—often obscured by bureaucratic secrecy.

If this is all smoke and mirrors, then it's a testament to the age of misinformation, where narratives are crafted as much by perception as by truth. Either way, stepping back and navigating the labyrinth of digital interactions with caution seems wise; after all, even the most innocuous actions can take on a life of their own in this ever-connected web of surveillance and spin.
