The Zenbook S14 is an excellent ultraportable, compact, elegant, efficient and durable. However, we criticize it, like many other OLED models launched this year, for the extreme brightness of its screen, which often harms readability, and ultimately the overall experience. A problem that ASUS and Samsung are visibly reluctant to correct… or at least to alleviate.
The device is in any case one of the first to feature the new Intel Lunar Lake chips. With them, we lose in multi-core performance what we gain in graphics power and energy efficiency. Although not perfectly in line with our hopes, the results are both surprising and encouraging.
Surprising, because Intel takes the risk of offering a powerful CPU part, but not as much as with competing solutions. Encouraging, because in return, the firm offers us a muscular GPU part, this time superior to what Qualcomm, AMD and Apple are capable of doing immediately. This bold approach ultimately does not displease us, especially since Lunar Lake has little to envy of Qualcomm’s latest ARM chips in the area of energy efficiency.
