The Zenbook S16 (UM5606), on the other hand, features the new AMD Ryzen AI 400 Gorgon Point APUs. Configurations offered for the US market include ones based on the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, Ryzen AI 9 465, and an odd Ryzen AI 5 445 (likely a typo) that isn’t in AMD’s roster yet.
For Canada, Asus is only offering the Zenbook S16 in Ryzen AI 7 445 and Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 options.
All Zenbook S16 models come with a 16-inch 3K 120 Hz OLED panel with similar characteristics as that of its 14-inch counterpart.Â
Other aspects remain largely identical. However, being an AMD platform, we see USB4 ports in lieu of Thunderbolt 4. Interestingly, Asus does indicate Thunderbolt 4 for the top spec variant based on the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470.
