Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using this for several weeks now. The screen is amazing. It does pick up fingerprints as others said - but i've gotten used to it. I haven't used the co-pilot as much yet as I hoped to, but need to get into the habit. I primarily have been using on travel and have zero complaints other than the fingerprints. It performs very well and the audio quality is good too. Purchased on sale and felt at that price it was a great value.

The laptop market has been all over the place since the introduction of AI and more efficient mobile cpu chips. Qualcomm threw their hat into the ring; Intel & AMD still are competing and Apple is doing their own thing. I am one of the early adopters of the Snapdragon laptops and while they are fantastic, they do have their quirks and limitations, I won’t go on complaining about that but it was enough to prevent me from completing certain tasks. I was looking forward to the latest that Asus has put out enter the updated Vivobook S 14 OLED. My initial impressions of the VBS I will refer to is phenomenal. This 14-inch device is slim, light and a beautiful device overall. I am surprised that it offers full sized USB Ports, full sized HDMI port, and a few other IO options but of course the internal differ depending upon what you select. I opted for the Core Ultra 5. I am somewhat biased towards Intel as they have been a preference for years even with the debacle with the 13th gen and 14th CPU series. I still was rooting for their comeback. Now I am comparing this specific Core 5 to the snapdragon laptops that are out and Windows 11 runs as it should with no errors or X86 emulation. That is a plus in my book, battery life is unlike the previous Intel laptops that I have previously owned I charged it once and used a couple hours a day for roughly four days without needing a charge. This is very comparable to what Mac & Qualcomm have to offer. The display is what I love about this device is OLED but it is not overly saturated like some manufacturers. You can change the display options for a better color profile if you require it and that is awesome. This is a 16:10 aspect ratio while it is not a dealbreaker in my opinion I would prefer standard resolutions but, in this case, it works and it works very well. The keyboard is great and like all Asus laptops that I have owned they are great with no complaints. There is plenty of travel, the keyboard is backlit and of course it would not be an Asus product without RGB. You can customize that using their software, I use settings that are optimized for a balance of performance and battery. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros: - Stellar battery life - Excellent thermal design - OLED display - Full sized ports - Excellent IO Cons: - Finger print magnet Overall, this is an excellent device, it meets and exceeds my needs. This device would be ideal for students, business professionals, and the everyday Joe like myself. This can handle game streaming but do not pick this up expecting RTX gaming performance this is not designed for that Asus does have something for that. :::TL;DR::: Need an Intel laptop with great battery and excellent display then look no further this will do whatever you need it do and then some.

Pros: - very, very good battery life. I got over 12 hours of use without power saving modes over the course of 3 days, so the laptop drained somewhat overnight as well. - good performance. The integrated graphics are very good and will allow you to play many games comfortably. - comfortable keyboard and trackpad - beautiful screen for watching movies/videos - great port selection Cons: - fingerprint magnet. I have sweaty hands, and this thing looked genuinely gross after normal usage due to how much it attracts fingerprints. - low resolution + OLED weirdness makes text look ugly. 1200p should be fine for a laptop of this size, but text has a noticeable rainbow effect due to the sub pixel layout of the OLED panel and looks a bit pixelated. - OLED longevity. Asus does more than some other brands to prevent OLED burn in with techniques like Pixel Shift, but it will only delay the inevitable. Your OLED screen will burn in at some point. If you're like me, this will make you feel like you have to baby the laptop and worry about displaying static elements on screen, which is an added concern that you should not have to deal with on a laptop.

I just picked this up on sale at $550! I have to tell you for the price you cannot find a better balance of power and size. The ultra 5 processor is great for day to day tasks even with minecraft I was getting 60fps on fancy settings. Battery life is awesome. Only con so far is the fingerprints so just carry a cleaning cloth and you will be good.

Slim and light weight. Nice screen display. Good for studying or office working. 1 minus star is easy to get fingerprints.

Great battery life, good keyboard, bright screen, and fan is quiet and doesn’t turn on doing everyday browsing. The one negative is it’s a fingerprint magnet. I’m not sure how that one got passed the design team.

As other mentioned it does collect fingerprints quite easily but that's a small issue compared to what this laptop does good. Time will tell if it last but I've been very impressed, considering the price. I got it for $650, price dropped to $550 a couple of days after I purchased it but I was able to price match easily. Not sure though if it's worth the regular price of $950.

Good value for money. Fingerprints show on the outside quite a bit, and copilot seems a bit gimmicky.

If this laptop goes on sale, it's the best bang for buck laptop you can get on the market. Only cons are its extremely prone to fingerprints and the touchpad can be a little finnicky. Otherwise, great buy.

Nice laptop at an excellent sales price. But two big issues. The keyboard backlighting is horrible. I use it late at night on my lap while reclining in my chair. The backlighting is so bright along the edge of the keys I can't see the characters on the keys. If I turn the backlighting down, I can't see the keys. My MacBook Air does not have this problem. It illuminates the letters in the keys not along the edges of the keys. The other problem is the black finish on the laptop is a magnet for fingerprints. I have been buying computers since the Apple II and have never used a computer show fingerprints like this one.
