I would recommend this to a friendBuyer beware, warranty not honored, problem model
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this laptop 9 months before it wouldn't power on at all. I sent it in for warranty service and they said it was my fault the usb-c and hdmi ports had burned out. They tried to charge me almost the cost of the laptop to have it fixed. Beware, this is a common problem with this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood laptop... if you want i3-level performance.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's kinda a garbage laptop, especially for the price. You wouldn't know it by the "core ultra 5" moniker, but you're actually getting i3-level performance with the WEAKEST chip in the Lunar Lake lineup. 4 x 4.5 GHz Intel Lion Cove P-cores and 4 x 3.5 GHz Intel Skymont E-cores, with only 8MB of L3 cache shared between them makes it slower than, maybe every single core 5 100 series, i5-14th gen, and i5-13th gen laptop processor. Doesn't boost very high. Screen looks alright, but that's at the bare minimum for this price range. It's only 60Hz, but I suppose that's just because the absolute cheapest OLED they could find was only 1080p (extended to 1200) and 60Hz. 512GB SSD is a bit disappointing. 8 total cores means running some tasks will take more processing power than you'd expect. You'd think the saving grace would be the 75Wh battery, but even then it only charges at 65W, putting this laptop firmly back in the 2020-era. The placement of the two thunderbolt ports is also rather annoying, as it's not on any of the ends, but in the middle of the laptop, and both on the same side, so it doesn't make any sense not to have the charging port be in the corner. Overall seems like a laptop designed to mislead and is optimized for AI, as the biggest focus on the manufacturer page seems to be the Copilot and AI Capability, with the processor reaching an "AI Boost" of up to 40TOPS. Keep in mind, that this is when the chip boosts up to 37W, which is higher than most of the past three generations of efficient core 5 or i5 processors need to go, and just for the "AI features". Yes, this will significantly drain the battery. Not impressed, but unfortunately I needed a laptop and chose hastily, just looking at the specs, without doing more research on the recent chips and features this laptop touted.

ASUS does it again! WOW!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a big fan of ASUS products. Once that I had decided that I wanted to get a COPILOT Laptop, as I am a huge fan of everything AI, and unapologetic about it as well. I have used a lot of AI Chat of course, like most of us, but as a creator I have also begun to seriously explore AI Art, and other ways to utilize AI as a tool in our bag of technical weapons that we can use for both work and play. This laptop is the essence of simplicity and ease. When you open up the box all that you are going to see is this beautifully designed laptop, a few small notes for warranty, etc and the power connector (USB-C to plug). Setting it up was very easy, pretty much just inputting your email ID, your password and letting it go at it and voila, in a few minutes you're ready to use the laptop. The screen is just seriously beautiful to look at. Everything is very, very fast, lighting fast in fact, and I was surprised, yes shocked, to see that this also has two more USB ports than one might think, and they are the old style USB-A as well, in addition to the USB-C's that one would expect. Now you may wonder how this laptop is different than a regular laptop. Well AI on-board isn't just marketing, all Copilots have a special, dedicated AI chip, that allows the machine to specifically process the AI, and do it without having to send any data upstream across the internet. In fact, one doesn't even have to be connected to use most of these programs, although doing so may tap into additional resources. The best way to experience this laptop is to actually just look at the ASUS site and see what you can do with this laptop using AI, that is what makes this machine different. The first big one is paint, it's a special paint program that has you create a word prompt to generate what you desire to paint, then paint it the best that you can and the AI can use what you created to go off what was found. It's a little difficult to describe but seeing it in person makes it quite easy. I'm very happy with this machine, it's beautiful, yet understated, it is very fast and light on it's feet, it's actually very light overall, and battery life is outstanding. This one is a winner and so far I've loved everything about it. I am very happy with this machine and think anyone looking for a new CoPilot should check this unit out. A great machine, ASUS has done it again!!

Flimsy Laptop With Hardware Issue
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the most flimsy laptop in the market. The top frame is bent out of the box with so much flex, and this is not just the one I got as many people complain online of the same issue. The laptop would crash often with barely just Windows running. Performance wise, they are all comparable with the specs like this one. Battery is ok, too, as it is mostly similar between Asus, Dell, HP, from similar specs. The flimsy body of the laptop is pretty much the negative point of this laptop. OLED screen does flicker, and the burnt-in issue is there. At this price point, I'd say check out the other laptops with stronger built.

Camera was dead on arrival
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite no visible damage, the camera was completely non functional. Windows could not detect that it even existed. Windows Hello facial recognition also disabled. I tried all sorts of solutions, checked drivers, checked Device Manager, updated everything, etc etc. Very disappointing given the laptop was sold to me as open box "works like new" and only missing "non-essential" parts. I asked Best Buy to repair it given it had only been a few days since I bought it, but they said they'd only repair it if I paid for a Geek Squad membership. I guess they don't stand behind their open box promises. They also didn't weren't able to replace it with a new one because there was no inventory in store. I ended up returning it on the spot, losing out on what could've been a great laptop for a great price.

Bad battery life
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this laptop since Jan 2025. I bought this laptop specifically for the new Core Ultra processor battery life. I believe a recent Windows update has taken the battery life from 10-12 hours down to less than 3 hours. I've disabled Recall completely but the NPU is constantly running at 60% and draining the battery. The #1 thing I bought this laptop for, battery life, is now shot.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not happy with my ASUS laptop bc it is touch screen but the screen does not fold over making it incredibly difficult & awkward to even use the touchscreen part & i needed that for my art. But it is too late to return it bc i thought i had 30 days but wheb i went to do return online it said it was ineligible for a return & i looked further to learn i only had 15 days. I just opened my computer & used it for first time about 7 days ago so its really only 7 days actually. So now im stuck with computer i cant really use for one of the big things i needed it for.

Trash thanks to fed ex shipping
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Laptop seemed to be a power house but as soon i booted it up on battery (after doing all the windows updates while plugged in) the display keep not working properly or turning off randomly. I work in IT so while i would troubleshoot it, i keep thinking each thing i did would fix it but no matter what the display would still randomly turn off. While i dont mind opening up a laptop to check battery i decided i shouldn’t have on a brand new freaking laptop.

Sleek and Powerful
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Asus Vivobook S 14 model is a great laptop for those on the go looking for solid processing power without the weight of a typical laptop. The Vivobook is light and i mean really light as in i almost dropped the box when i picked it up it light. Coming in at slightly under 3lbs this was by far the easy laptop to throw in a backpack and lug around all day. Besides the performance i was actually very taken back to how this thing weighed practically nothing. If graphics power is not a big deal for you then you are going to be very pleasantly surprised with just how strong this little intel core processor is. With built in AI tech, power draw through the processor is well mitigated and combined with a less than mediocre graphics card, there is a very low demand for power which results in longer usage without a power cable. I was able to yield a full day of usage at work with no direct power which ended coming out to roughly 12 hours of run time and still had about 30% left before needing a charge. As mentioned earlier, the graphics card will get the job done but is not strong enough for average gaming or 3-d design. This unit is geared for the on the go student / white collar worker, that needs a light weight strong unit to handle task such cyber security, IT, Google meet calls, spread sheet designs and so forth. The quick processing power insures that during your Google meet call you easily switch between several emails and tabs all with a smooth, quick transition. Pros: -Awesome battery life -Extremely light weight -Great processing power (for its price point) -RGB lighting Cons: -Lower tier graphics card
