The ASUS Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) is a premium 14-inch ultraportable built around a striking Ceraluminum chassis just 1.1 cm thin, a 3K (2880 × 1800) ASUS Lumina OLED touch display, and Intel's newest low-power silicon. It has shipped in two closely related generations that share the same UX5406 body: the 2024 model (UX5406SA) with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 "Lunar Lake" processors, and the 2026 refresh (UX5406AA) with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. Both run Windows 11 as thin, light Copilot+ PCs aimed at mobile professionals, students, and creators. Because memory and storage are configured at the factory and can't be changed later, your exact configuration sets the resale value — use the tool above to select yours for an instant cash offer. Not sure which one you have? The steps below make it easy, and remember that GadgetSalvation runs a full trade-in service, so you can turn your Zenbook into cash or put it toward an upgrade entirely from home.

First, confirm you have a Zenbook S 14 (UX5406)

ASUS sells several similar-looking 14-inch Zenbooks, so the safest way to price yours correctly is the model number, which begins with UX5406. Flip the laptop over and read the small text on the bottom cover.

✅ This is the right page if you see

  • Model number starting UX5406
  • UX5406SA — 2024, Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake)
  • UX5406AA — 2026, Intel Core Ultra Series 3
  • A 14" OLED touchscreen and a matte Ceraluminum (ceramic-feel) lid

❌ This is NOT your page if you see

  • UX3405 or UM3406 — those are the standard Zenbook 14 OLED (Intel / AMD), a different model
  • UX5304 — that's the older Zenbook S 13 OLED
  • UX5406MA style codes for the Zenbook S 16 — that's the bigger 16" sibling
  • Any Vivobook, ROG, ProArt, or Zenbook Pro model

Telling the two generations apart: the quickest check is the processor. Press the Windows key, type msinfo32, press Enter, and read the "Processor" line. A Core Ultra …V chip (e.g. Ultra 7 258V, Ultra 9 288V) means the 2024 UX5406SA; a Core Ultra …H Series 3 chip (e.g. Ultra 7 356H) means the 2026 UX5406AA. Our ASUS model-number guide shows where to find the full code.

Core hardware configurations

Processor (CPU)

  • UX5406SA (2024): Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, Core Ultra 7 258V, Core Ultra 9 288V (Lunar Lake, Series 2)
  • UX5406AA (2026): Intel Core Ultra 7 356H and related Series 3 chips
  • Up to 50 TOPS NPU for on-device AI (Copilot+ PC)

Graphics (GPU)

  • Integrated only — no discrete GPU
  • UX5406SA: Intel Arc Graphics 130V/140V
  • UX5406AA: Intel Arc Graphics (Series 3)
  • Great for creative and everyday work; not a dedicated gaming machine

Memory (RAM)

  • 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5x
  • Soldered / on-package — NOT upgradable. On Lunar Lake (UX5406SA) the RAM is built into the processor package, so whatever it shipped with is permanent
  • Confirm your capacity before selling; it directly affects value

Storage

  • 512GB or 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
  • Single M.2 slot — the SSD is replaceable, unlike the soldered RAM

Display & audio

Display

14.0-inch 16:10 ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen. The headline panel is 3K (2880 × 1800) at 120Hz, 500 nits (1100 nits HDR peak), 100% DCI-P3, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000, PANTONE Validated, with stylus support. Some regions also offered a WUXGA (1920 × 1200) 60Hz OLED option — check yours. There is no non-OLED version of this model.

Audio

Quad-speaker system (dual tweeters + dual woofers) with Dolby Atmos, plus an IR webcam for Windows Hello face login and AI noise-canceling microphones.

Ports & connectivity

For such a thin laptop, the Zenbook S 14 keeps a genuinely useful full-size port set. Note there is no SD or microSD card reader on this model.

Ports
  • 2× Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) (40 Gbps; both support DisplayPort output and power delivery — this is how you charge it)
  • 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbps)
  • 1× HDMI 2.1 TMDS
  • 1× 3.5mm combo audio jack
Good to know
  • Charges over USB-C only (no separate barrel port) — both Thunderbolt ports are on the left side, so you can only charge from one side

  • USB-A is retained on both the 2024 and 2026 models
  • Includes a compact 65W USB-C charger

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm my laptop is the Zenbook S 14 (UX5406)?
Close the laptop and read the small print on the bottom cover — you're looking for a model number that starts with UX5406, followed by SA (2024) or AA (2026). You can also press the Windows key, type msinfo32, hit Enter, and read the "System Model" line. The giveaways are the 14" OLED touchscreen and the matte, ceramic-feeling Ceraluminum lid. Our ASUS model-number guide walks you through it step by step.
02 How is the Zenbook S 14 different from the regular Zenbook 14 or the Zenbook S 16?
They look similar but they're priced differently, so matching the exact model matters. The Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) is the ultra-thin Ceraluminum model with Lunar Lake or Series 3 chips. The standard Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405 Intel / UM3406 AMD) is a slightly thicker, more affordable line, and the Zenbook S 13 (UX5304) is the older, smaller model. The Zenbook S 16 is the larger 16" version. If your model number doesn't start with UX5406, head to our ASUS Zenbook page to find the right one, or request a custom quote and our team will confirm it.
03 Can I sell a Zenbook S 14 with wear, a dead battery, or a cracked OLED screen?
Yes. We buy Zenbook S 14 laptops in every condition, from like-new to defective. Whether yours is flawless, shows scuffs on the Ceraluminum lid, has a swollen or weak battery, screen burn-in, or a cracked OLED panel, just answer the condition questions in the tool above honestly and you'll get a firm cash value that reflects its true state. Because this is a premium OLED machine, even units with damage often retain meaningful value.
04 Did you know GadgetSalvation offers a full trade-in service — and what raises my Zenbook S 14's value most?
Many people don't realize this, but you don't have to list your laptop on a marketplace and haggle with strangers. GadgetSalvation is a dedicated buyback and trade-in service: get an instant online quote, ship your Zenbook to us with a free prepaid shipping label, and get paid fast — no listing fees, no negotiations. On value, the biggest factors are the processor tier (a Core Ultra 9 288V is worth more than an Ultra 5 226V), then 32GB RAM over 16GB and a 1TB SSD over 512GB — and since the RAM is soldered, a 32GB unit commands a real premium because buyers can't add more later. The 3K 120Hz OLED and Ceraluminum build already keep resale strong. For more, see our guides on estimating your laptop's resale value and the average resale value of a laptop in good condition.
05 Should I wipe my data first, and how do I get paid?
We recommend backing up your personal files to an external drive or the cloud, then signing out of your Microsoft account and running a factory reset before you ship. You don't need to remove the SSD yourself — every incoming drive goes through our certified multi-pass data-wipe process. You can read the full details on our data erasure protocols page. Once your Zenbook arrives and passes our functional testing, payment is approved within about two business days, sent via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed paper check — your choice. The prepaid shipping label is free and fully insured.
