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

ASUS today announced the Philippine launch of its latest premium Copilot+ PC laptops, the Zenbook S16 (UM5606GA) and Zenbook 14 (UM3406GA), both equipped with the latest AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors and up to 50 NPU TOPS of AI performance. Designed for professionals and students who demand performance without sacrificing portability, 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.

 

As AI becomes an integral part of everyday workflows, from productivity and collaboration to entertainment and security, ASUS continues to push the boundaries of thin-and-light laptops. The new Zenbook S16 and Zenbook 14 Copilot+ PCs represent interpretations of premium mobility, each optimized for different user needs while sharing the same foundation of powerful AI-driven performance.

 

ZENBOOK S16 (UM5606): 1.1CM OF PURE AI POWER – THE THINNEST ZENBOOK EVER

 

 

The Zenbook S16 marks a new evolution of large-screen ultraportable laptops, delivering exceptional performance and intelligence in a remarkably slim and lightweight form. Measuring just 1.1 cm thin and weighing only 1.5 kg, 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

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 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, 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 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, 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

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.

 

ZENBOOK 14 (UM3406): COMPACT AI POWER ON-THE-GO

 

The Zenbook 14 is tailored for users who value portability, elegance, and everyday versatility. Weighing just 1.2 kg and measuring 14.9 mm thin, its sleek all-metal chassis in Jade Black color, making it an ideal companion for professionals and students constantly on the move.

 

Powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 processor with up to 50 TOPS NPU and AMD Radeon graphics, Zenbook 14 delivers responsive performance while enabling Copilot+ PC AI features that enhance multitasking, collaboration, and productivity. With 16GB LPDDR5X memory and 1TB M.2 SSD storage, and WiFi 6E connectivity, it ensures fast and reliable performance wherever work takes place.

 

A long-lasting 75 Wh battery supports up to 25+ hours of extended unplugged use, while USB-C Easy Charge allows convenient recharging from compatible adapters, power banks, or power outlets.

Compact design, immersive experience

 

Zenbook 14 features a stunning 14-inch WUXGA ASUS Lumina OLED display with a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, and an 87% screen-to-body ratio. The display delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and smooth motion — ideal for both work and entertainment.

 

Despite its compact form, Zenbook 14 includes a comprehensive set of full-size I/O ports, including USB4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, HDMI 2.1 (TMDS), and a 3.5 mm audio jack, ensuring hassle-free connectivity without adapters.

 

The user experience is further enhanced by super-linear speakers with Dolby Atmos support, an FHD IR camera with a physical privacy shutter, AI noise cancelation, face login, and a new quiet ASUS ErgoSense keyboard designed for comfortable, distraction-free typing.


 

Refined usability for everyday productivity

Zenbook 14 is designed to deliver a smooth, intuitive experience throughout the day. A spacious ASUS ErgoSense touchpad provides precise control and comfortable palm rejection, while the integrated Copilot key offers instant access to Windows 11’s AI-powered assistance for faster workflows and smarter task management.

 

For communication and collaboration, the laptop is equipped with an FHD IR camera enhanced by ASUS AI features, including automatic framing, eye contact correction, and AI noise cancelation for both microphone and speakers. These technologies help ensure clearer video calls and more natural conversations, whether users are working remotely or attending virtual meetings.

 

Security and convenience go hand in hand with Windows Hello facial login, allowing fast, password-free access, while the physical camera shutter provides instant peace of mind when privacy is required. Combined with its quiet keyboard, responsive performance, and immersive audiovisual capabilities, Zenbook 14 delivers a polished, distraction-free experience tailored for modern mobile professionals.
