Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED Review: A Simple and Effective Laptop

 

It's not flashy, but this Asus laptop has all the power you probably need plus a crisp OLED display.

Good value for the money. Sturdy build. Pleasant, colorful OLED screen. Solid battery life.

Screen brightness is just OK. Attracts fingerprints like crazy. Gets pretty warm under load.

Whether you choose the older model with its unique touchscreen touchpad or the newer streamlined version, the S15 is a smart pick for a moderately priced thin-and-light 15-inch laptop.

Asus VivoBook S15 (S533) Review

 

Great value for feature set ; Snappy performance for the price ; Stylish, slim design with multiple color options ; Long battery life ; Strong port selection and useful extras (fingerprint reader, microSD slot)

One component configuration only

The Asus VivoBook S15 is not only an excellent value for the price, but an excellent laptop all around. We found lots to love about this sleek, affordable notebook for everyday users.

Asus VivoBook S15 (S533F) review

 

The VivoBook S15's good looks don't save it from mediocrity

Premium aesthetics ; Well-rounded audio

Middling performance ; Dim and dull display ; Below-average battery life ; Mediocre keyboard

The Asus VivoBook S15 features a stylish design and well-rounded speakers, but that doesn’t save it from its middling performance, dull display and mediocre battery life.

ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED M5406 review – Exceeds the Expectations

 

We are pleasantly surprised by the ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED M5406. Its biggest advantage is the fact that the performance is as good as the 16-inch sibling. The Ryzen 5 7535HS sustains a 3.34GHz clock in long stress which is almost 200MHz higher...

Great OLED display with 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage (SDC41A0) ; Infinite contrast ratio (SDC41A0) ; Great color accuracy (SDC41A0) ; 642 cd/m² of max brightness in HDR mode (SDC41A0) ; Good audio quality ; Comfortable keyboard ; 1080p IR Web camera...

Just one M.2 slot + soldered RAM ; Slow 5 Gbps USB connectors (for the Zen 3+ machines) ; The Ryzen 5 7535HS-based notebooks come with just 8GB or 16GB of RAM

ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED (S5406) Review – MacBook-Level Efficiency

 

Meet the all-new ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED, for which we have high expectations thanks to the impressive showing from the Zenbook earlier this year. Let's see if this laptop further raises the bar in this review.

+ Modern looks ; + Well-cooled CPU ; + 16GB RAM good for most work ; + Good speaker quality ; + Solid touchpad ; + Excellent battery life ; + Expansive I/O ; + RGB!

- Webcam's privacy shutter is difficult to slide ; - Bright-colored keycaps doesn't work well with keyboard lighting

The ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED (S5406) is, well, excellent. There aren't many occasions when I have so little to complain about with a laptop.
