The technical sheet of the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED 2023
The profile of the Asus Zenbook is really thin - its dimensions amount to 1 cm thick and 1 kg in weight. Numbers that are not often read and that give an idea of how "pocket" this laptop is. To arrive at these values, some specific production precautions were necessary, including:
- CNC machining;
- dedicated OLED panel to achieve a 30% thinner lid;
- touchpad with very thin glass coating that allows a 25% reduction in the thickness of the keyboard surface.
Not only that: in addition to the small size, the company has focused on a further aspect, namely that linked to sustainability.
Indeed, it has been referred to as the Zenbook “greenest in the world", With"recycled materials and plastics, FSC Mix certified packaging, plasma ceramic aluminum for the Basalt Gray model and halogen-free electronics".
By the way the plasma ceramic aluminum components are completely recyclable at the end of their life cycle. In addition, other materials should also be mentioned, such as the keyboard in recycled magnesium-aluminum alloy which halves the carbon footprint, keys and speakers in post-consumer recycled plastic (even for the speakers the plastic found in the oceans). The Energy Star efficiency standard was exceeded by 43%.
Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED environmental rating is Epeat Gold, and for the first time, a special process was used to transform the ceramic plasma aluminum cover. This is an Asus exclusive, so pure water is used and no organic compounds, strong acids or heavy metals are required. It produces a physical and chemical transformation of aluminum that gives it greater wear resistance, corrosion protection, thermal management, hardness and durability.
