32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD and a gorgeous 3K OLED display! The excellent ASUS Zenbook S 16 has dropped to its lowest price

A sixteen-inch laptop usually means a compromise between a large screen and portability. The Zenbook S 16 tries to bypass this compromise – a body just 12.9 mm thin and a weight of 1.5 kg are values you’d typically expect from a fourteen-inch model. AlzaPlus+ members can now buy it for 34,989 CZK instead of 42,990 CZK, which is eight thousand cheaper.

👍 Get it if you want a large OLED display for graphics or video work and also carry your laptop with you.
🤔 Hesitate if you plan to game – the integrated Radeon 840M is for office work and lighter creative tasks, not modern games.
💰 Price: 34,989 CZK for 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 3K OLED is a pretty good offer at a time when memory prices are rising.

The display people buy it for

The main draw is the 16″ OLED panel with 2880 × 1800 resolution, 120 Hz, and 500 nits brightness, which also covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and is Pantone Validated certified. In practice, this means that the colors you see on the screen correspond to reality – and that’s precisely why graphic designers and video editors opt for Zenbooks. The display is also touch-enabled with stylus support, so you can draw or sign documents on it. The 16:10 aspect ratio provides more vertical space for work than the classic 16:9.

The surrounding equipment is consistently good: a six-core Ryzen AI 7 445 Zen 5 generation with a 4.6 GHz boost, 32 GB LPDDR5x, a 1TB SSD, and an 83 Wh battery, which is above average for such a thin machine. Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB 3.2, and full-size HDMI, along with Wi-Fi 7 and MIL-STD-810H durability certification. And one practical bonus worth taking advantage of: upon registration, ASUS provides one year of accidental damage protection for free – meaning spills or drops in the first year are covered by the manufacturer.

Where are the limits

The Zenbook S 16 is a machine for work, not gaming. The integrated Radeon 840M graphics can handle light video editing, photos, and less demanding older games, but you’ll immediately hit a wall with modern 3D titles – those who want to game should look for models with dedicated graphics. Furthermore, the display in this version is glossy, so expect reflections in a sunlit room. And as with most thin ultrabooks, the memory is soldered – 32 GB is the final capacity, which is fortunately enough for years to come.

For anyone who works with visuals and wants a large, color-accurate display in a laptop they can carry in one hand, this is a sensible purchase for under thirty-five thousand.
