ASUS has introduced the new ASUS Zenook S 14 and ASUS ProArt PZ13 at IFA 2024 in Berlin.
Launched alongside the new Vivobook laptops, let’s first take a look at the ASUS Zenbook S 14. It is a Copilot+ PC powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips that offer 48 TOPs of NPU power.
It has a build made of Ceramic and Aluminum, which ASUS trademarked as Ceraluminum. It’s also incredibly lightweight at only 1.2kg and weighs 1.1cm. Plus, there’s a sleek and large touchpad that supports Smart Gestures for adjusting the brightness, and volume, and control media playback by swiping the edges.
Of course, it’s got a packed display that’s great for content creation and consumption. It’s a compact 13-inch panel with a sharp 3K resolution, a high 120Hz refresh rate, and is PANTONE Validated and VESA CERTIFIED Display HDR True Black 500.
For those who love working at coffee shops or anywhere with limited power access, you’d be glad to know that the 72Wh battery lasts up to 27 hours on a single charge.

It is also P52 splash resistant and passed many tests against humidity, vibrations, high temperature, and more — perfect if you’re on remote shoots or a content creator who always needs to edit on the go.
The new ProArt laptop achieves its thin and light design, powerful performance, and long battery life of up to 21 hours thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus processor. You can pair it with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage.
Made for photo and video editing, the device has a color-accurate 13.3-inch 3K OLED display that’s been PANTONE Validated, VESA certified, and supports a stylus.
This machine is basically an overpowered tablet. Hence, it has a 13-megapixel camera on the back. A 5-megapixel is on the front with IR.
