AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 powered ASUS Zenbook S 16 OLED Review

The Zenbook S 16 OLED from Asus is on the first laptops in the world to use a Zen 5 processor from AMD. It’s sporting ‘on device’ AI processing thanks to the NPU found in the new tech from AMD. Alongside that is an updated RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics processor which should allow for gaming on the go – all while keeping the weight to 1.5KG and looking sleek and professional thanks to the 3K OLED screen and Ceraluminum finish. Can this new laptop from Asus prove to be a hit?
