ASUS Debuts Zenbook S16 and Zenbook 14 with AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series in the Philippines

ASUS Philippines announced the launch of its latest premium Copilot+ PC laptops, the Zenbook S16 (UM5606GA) and Zenbook 14 (UM3406GA). Both are equipped with the latest AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors and up to 50 NPU TOPS of AI performance. The new Zenbook lineup showcases ASUS’ vision of intelligent, human-centric computing, where advanced AMD Ryzen AI capabilities, refined industrial design, and immersive user experiences come together seamlessly.

Zenbook S16 (UM5606) – The Thinnest Zenbook Ever

The Zenbook S16 sparks a new wave of large-screen ultraportable laptops that delivers exceptional performance and intelligence in a remarkably slim and lightweight form. Measuring just 1.1 cm thin and weighing only 1.5 kg, the Zenbook S16 is engineered for users who need a bigger canvas for productivity and entertainment, without the bulk traditionally associated with 16-inch laptops.

Functional aesthetics with premium materials

The Zenbook S16 exemplifies ASUS’ commitment to thoughtful design and material innovation. Its all-metal chassis is topped with a distinctive Ceraluminum lid, a proprietary ceramic-aluminum composite developed after years of research. This material offers the refined, tactile feel of ceramic while maintaining the strength and lightness of aluminum, with enhanced resistance to scratches and wear for long-term durability.

Available in Scandinavian White, the minimalist, Nordic-inspired aesthetic draws from natural textures and tones. The precision-engineered EasyLift hinge ensures smooth, stable opening angles with minimal wobble, while the full-size ASUS ErgoSense keyboard with dished keycaps delivers a comfortable and precise typing experience. A large touchpad with Smart Gesture support enables intuitive fingertip control for everyday tasks.

Slim, with pro-level power

At the heart of the Zenbook S16 is an AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 processor, delivering up to 50 TOPS of NPU performance enabling faster image and video processing, smoother multitasking, improved video conferencing quality, and more responsive system behavior, all while maintaining excellent power efficiency. Combined with AMD Radeon graphics, 32GB LPDDR5X memory, and 1TB M.2 SSD storage, the Zenbook S16 is built to handle demanding professional and creative tasks with ease.

Advanced thermal design and long-lasting endurance

Despite its slim profile, Zenbook S16 supports up to a 28W CPU TDP, made possible by ASUS’ advanced Thincredible thermal architecture. The system features a CNC-machined 3D vapor chamber that is up to 37% larger than previous designs, paired with dual whisper-quiet IceBlade fans and optimized airflow channels. This ensures efficient heat dissipation under sustained workloads while keeping ambient noise levels below 25 dBA and maintaining comfortable keyboard temperatures.

Powering the device is a high-capacity 83 Wh battery, designed to support up to 21+ hours of productivity and creativity. Intelligent power management and the efficiency of the AMD Ryzen AI platform help balance performance and battery life, making the Zenbook S16 a reliable companion for both office and on-the-go use.

Immersive visuals, audio, and connectivity

Entertainment and productivity come to life on the 16-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen display, featuring a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 500 nits peak brightness, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for productivity and entertainment. Audio is powered by a six-speaker Dolby Atmos system, consisting of four front-firing tweeters and dual woofers, delivering rich, immersive sound with impressive clarity and depth.

For connectivity, the Zenbook S16 includes WiFi 7 with ASUS WiFi Master Premium certification, along with a comprehensive selection of full-size I/O ports, including dual USB4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI 2.1, an SD card reader, and a standard audio jack, eliminating the need for dongles and adapters.

Intelligent privacy and security

The Zenbook S16 is designed with modern security in mind. Features such as Windows Hello, ASUS AiSense IR camera, Adaptive Lock, Adaptive Dimming, Microsoft Pluton, Windows passkeys, and ASUS Voice Print technology work together to protect user data while enabling seamless, personalized access.
