ASUS Zenbook S16 UM5606 (2025)

This slim AMD Ryzen AI ultrabook is unusually generous with full-size I/O for a 1.5cm-thick machine. It offers two USB4 Type-C ports at 40 Gb/s that carry video and up to 65W charging, plus a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port for legacy gear. A full HDMI 2.1 output and a full-size SD 4.0 card reader round out the media connections, along with a 3.5mm combo audio jack. Note the USB-C ports are USB4, not Thunderbolt, though they remain compatible with most Thunderbolt docks.
