When Machines Think, From Limited Intelligent to Omniscient, this is the AI in Zenbook S14 OLED UX5406

Hollaaa Holaaaaa... eh Halloooo all!!!

Today, I'm taking it up a not-so-ordinary notch. I'm writing about the smart who is getting smarter, the thin who is getting more sophisticated, and the slim who is getting lighter. He's not a human but a machine. But trust me, they can help make your life lighter and better than ever.

What the heck is this, it's like opening a morning TV show...hahah

Calm down, be patient...

Because today I will invite you to get acquainted with ASUS Zenbook S14 OLED (UX5406SA) a smart AI laptop with a super brain.

People call it NPU 45+ TOPS

Ehh... NPU? TOPS? What the hell is that?

Don't get dizzy yet, let's sit back, take a deep breath... and let's start this story together.

NPU (Neural Processing Unit)

Imagine the human brain. Our brains have specialized areas for certain tasks, such as recognizing faces, understanding language, or movement.

Well, NPU it is like a specialized "brain" part in a computer chip designed for artificial intelligence (AI) tasks.

For a brief explanation, please watch this video

TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second)

If NPUs are a type of "brain" for AI, then TOPS This is a measure of how fast a chip (especially an NPU) can perform calculations for AI tasks.

You need to know that 1 TOPS means the chip can do 1 trillion operations (AI math calculations, such as matrix multiplication) per second.

So, if a new laptop is advertised as having an "NPU with 40 TOPS", it means that it has a specialized AI chip that can perform 40 trillion operations per second for AI tasks.

This demonstrates the device's ability to handle AI locally, rather than relying solely on the cloud.

Why do we need NPU laptops nowadays?

The answer is simple because our world has entered the AI era and NPU is the brain.

Life is getting more complex, more tasks, less time with NPU Laptop can help you get it all done.

Let me explain in a relaxed but still kicking way!

It is different from CPU and GPU.

If the CPU multitasks, the GPU takes care of the graphics, NPU focuses on artificial intelligence tasks kayak:

• Recognize your voice (voice recognition)
• Remove background noise (AI noise canceling)
• Summarization of long documents
• Recognize images, faces, objects (image classification)
• Automated question answering (Copilot & similar)

It's clear yet, if it's not...

Let's hear a brief explanation from Danu PR Asus Indonesia.

From Limited Intelligence to Omniscience...

In the past, machines could only do what we told them to do. Open the app, type the script, render the video and that's it.

But now?

The machine starts to think to itself.

Think? Can a robot think?

Well, this is the magic of the new era called AI PC.

This Zenbook S14 OLED is at the forefront.

Not just because it's thin, not just because it has a really great screen, but because it's equipped with NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with 45+ TOPS performance.

Once again, yes, forty-five plus Tera Operations Per Second.

Do you understand?

It's okay, I was also initially stunned. But in short, he can do AI operations 45 trillion times per second!

That's like giving your laptop super smart brain capabilities.

Just imagine, this laptop can help you automatically transcribe meetings, eliminate fan noise, summarize long documents in a single click, and even can IMAGINE what you want to write in the email before you type it.

How scary is that? But it's cool. Okay, let's continue

When Logic Becomes Code, Tracing the Path of AI from Concept to Reality

A key moment often referred to as official birth of AI was the Dartmouth Conference in 1956.

This is where the term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined, and leading researchers gathered to discuss the possibility of creating machines that could "simulate aspects of human intelligence".

This is "laying the foundation" of AI cyberspace, where ideas start to actually materialize in the form of computer programs.

AI doesn't come out of nowhere. It is the result of centuries of philosophical thought, mathematical discovery, engineering innovation, and, finally, the computing revolution.

It was a gradual process from abstract ideas to physical devices, and then from physical devices to increasingly "smart" entities in today's digitalized world.

Three Stages of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

1. Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) or Weak AI

This is types of AI that we know and use today. ANI is designed to perform specific tasks very well, but has no capabilities outside of that domain.

Examples are virtual assistants like Siri or Google Assistant, YouTube recommendation systems, or AI Copilot, Chat GPT etc.

2. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or Strong AI

This is a level of AI that has intellectual abilities equivalent to humans.

AGI can understand, learn, and apply its knowledge to complete different types of tasks, just like the human brain and this AGI is still under development today.

3. Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)

Breast milk is the highest and most ambitious level of AI. If AGI is equivalent to human intelligence, then ASI is an AI that far surpasses human intelligence in almost all aspects, including creativity, logic, problem solving, and even abstract things like emotions, empathy, and self-awareness.

ASI is expected to be able to process and analyze data with speed and accuracy far beyond the capacity of the human brain.

The birth of Zenbook S14 OLED AI Laptop that is Slim, Thin, Lightweight

Okay, the AI features make you fall in love. But what about the design? Well, make no mistake.

This Zenbook S14 OLED visually rich, feature-rich, and premium in design.
The body ultra-thin at only 1.1 cm. Heavy? Just 1.2 kg doang.

Crazyis this a laptop or a fashion magazine?

You know that it uses exclusive Ceraluminum™ material that provides durability as well as an elegant look. It comes in two colors, Zumaia Gray and Scandinavian White.

But don't be fooled by its slim body, because its 14-inch OLED display has a resolution of 3K (2880 x 1800) with refresh rate 120Hz.

What's the color? Ouch... it looks like the best filter in the world, clear, clear, just can't be expressed in words.

Sitting down to edit photos, design illustrations, or watch dramas? It feels like you're in your own mini movie theater.

Even at that time I tried to open video editing appIt all feels as smooth as if butter was put on a hot pan and immediately melted without waiting.

And this is no ordinary screen. This is ASUS Lumina OLED A screen that can show colors in such detail that I can see the skin of anime characters with different shades between the cheeks and chin.

AI + Copilot + PC = Laptop of the Future
