Asus Vivobook S 15 review: new chip in a throwback laptop | Digital Trends

The Asus Vivobook S 15 is a solid addition to the growing stable of Copilot+ laptops. It's fast enough, gets good battery life, and it's reasonably affordable.

Reasonably affordable ; Very good OLED display ; Surprisingly fast ; Excellent battery life

Old-school 16:9 display ; Keyboard isn't great

“The Asus Vivobook S15 is the best large-display Copilot+ laptop so far in an old-school form factor.”

Asus VivoBook S510 review: Weak battery life hobbles this capable ultralight

The Asus VivoBook S510 impresses with its looks, feel, and agility with day-to-day office tasks, but it falls painfully short in a key area: battery life.

Thin and light shell for a 15.6-inch ultrabook ; Built-in fingerprint reader ; Above-average speakers

Limited display brightness ; Poor battery life

The $799 VivoBook S510 looks enticing, given its 15-inch display, peppy productivity and solid selection of ports, all crammed into a sleek 3.7-pound shell. Unfortunately, the S510's weak battery life means you'll be searching for a power socket much...

Asus Vivobook S 15 review: A powerful but drab Copilot Plus PC

The Asus Vivobook S 15 laptop is a competent entry into the Copilot Plus PC arena, but one that struggles to stand out from the alternatives.

Attractive OLED display with above-average HDR brightness ; Wide range of wired and wireless connectivity ; Excellent processor performance for the price ; Good battery life

Bland, generic design ; 16.9 aspect ratio display feels cramped ; Unreliable gaming and 3D performance

Asus VivoBook S15 laptop looks good, weighs less

The $800 S15 base model is very mainstream on the inside, but if you're looking for a big screen and less weight, it's worth a look.

The Asus VivoBook S15 puts a big 15.6-inch screen in an ultraportable body starting at a reasonable price. It has a spacious backlit keyboard, a responsive precision touchpad with a built-in fingerprint reader and nice-sounding stereo speakers. It's...

Battery life is brief compared with its competitors.

The Asus VivoBook S15 makes a good coffee shop laptop for those who want a bigger screen. Just make sure to pick a table near an outlet.

Asus VivoBook S510

Asus' VivoBook S510 is both lightweight (3.7 pounds) and light on your wallet ($799). It doesn't blow away more costly desktop-replacement laptops, but it'll serve cash-strapped buyers well.

Sleek, handsome design. Attractive 1080p screen. Moderate price.

No Thunderbolt 3 port. Two USB 2.0 ports. Shallow keyboard. Subpar webcam.

Bottom Line: Asus' VivoBook S510 is both lightweight (3.7 pounds) and light on your wallet ($799). It doesn't blow away more costly desktop-replacement laptops, but it'll serve cash-strapped buyers well.

Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED review: Lean and (super) clean

The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED is a beautifully built, slim and powerful 15-inch work machine

Stunning 15.6-inch OLED display ; Ideal performance ; Affordably priced ; Great audio…

…but volume could be louder ; Terrible webcam ; Battery life could be better

Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED squeezes into that middleground of offering efficient performance in a premium-looking chassis — all under $1,000.

Asus VivoBook S15 S510UQ (i5-7200U, 940MX) Laptop Review

The Unfinished. Asus' multimedia-office newcomer compels with its elegant design and a particularly light and compact case, but can hardly keep up in the gaming arena with its GeForce 940MX. Despite many good attributes, we cannot give a purchase...

many variants to choose from ; light, compact, thin ; premium design ; flawless workmanship ; security features available ; good touchpad ; very good contrast ratio ; subpar SSD ; quiet ; decent sound system ; battery saving software available

case stability could be better ; 2x USB 2.0 ; port positions not ideal ; slow SD-card reader ; spongy keys ; display could have been brighter ; insufficient color space coverage ; bad webcam ; battery life much too short

Sorry Asus, but your stylish VivoBook S15 S510UQ is to some extent a failure. The test unit is sold for almost 1000 Euros (~$1180) on the market, and that rhymes neither with the mediocre case stability nor a keyboard that is just barely okay. And what...

Asus VivoBook S15 S510UA (i5-7200U, FHD) Laptop Review

Super sleek for cheap. Imagine the XPS 15 9560 stripped down to ULV configuration levels at half the starting price and you get the new VivoBook S15 S510 series. While this sounds good on paper, chassis quality leaves a lot to be desired.

2x internal storage bays, upgradeable RAM ; maximum CPU Turbo Boost performance ; relatively easy serviceability ; thin and very lightweight ; attractive chassis design ; decent stereo speakers ; USB Type-C Gen. 1 ; low fan noise ; no PWM

weak key feedback; disappointing trackpad ; unusual surface temperature development ; below average battery life ; no Thunderbolt 3 or mDP ; flexible plastic base ; slow SD reader

The VivoBook S510 series was designed to be more affordable than the ZenBook, XPS, or Spectre series without being any heavier or less attractive. It is, an essence, a budget-mainstream notebook wrapped in a super-thin flagship design. Asus has...
