It weighs in at 1.5kg and having an overall thickness of 18.9mm The Vivobook S14 OLED isn't really the lightest or thinnest however it is simple to use and mobile. The unit I reviewed is available in Indie black and the lid gets an extra glitz because of embossed ASUS Vivobook branding that protrudes from the frame for a 3D appearance.
The lid can be opened with one hand, opening up the huge keyboard and large trackpad, with the orange-hued escape keys catching the eye immediately. If you look closer, you will see an alternating pattern on the key to enter as well. The screen features thin bezels on all three sides, and has the chin being slightly bigger and sporting ASUS Vivobook branding. The webcam can be found in its usual location at the top of the bezel just below it is a slider key that switches off the security shutter.
The screen is able to open at 180°, which means you have greater flexibility when it comes to viewing angles. Overall the design and fit are superb and there's no any flex that you can be unhappy about. The bottom part of the device appears to be like a wedge at first due to the design and its edges are prone to cut your palms as moving the device around. A further drawback is that the matte finish is prone to getting smudged quickly, with the smudges evident on the dark-colored device.
On the left, you'll find one USB A port next to the cooling vents. the rest of the ports are located on the right-hand side of the device. On the right side, there's an 3.5mm audio connection, a second USB Type A, a pair of Type C ports that support Thunderbolt 4, and an HDMI port too. There's no Ethernet port, and that's the normal of the... however, I'm missing an SD card reader on this model.
The main feature of this laptop should be its 14-inch 16:10 OLED display, which has 2.8K resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It's not just precise in colour, with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color range, but it's bright with 600 nits of brightness too. With certifications such as VESA DisplayHDR True Black TUV, True Black, and Pantone it has good credibility. These translate into vibrant sharp and sharp images, crisp text, media that is vibrant, and exquisite blacks. I'd suggest that the Vivobook S14 OLED could turn out as a good choice for people who work with images to correct colour as well as for media consumption as well.
The distinctively-coloured escape key notwithstanding, the Vivobook S14's keyboard and trackpad are large and intuitive, allowing for easy interaction with the device. The keys are separated, slightly curved to allow for simple text input and have plenty of mobility. The keyboard has a three-step backlight as well. The power button has changed places with the delete button and the latter is now in the upper right corner. A fingerprint scanner has been integrated in the power button and it works fast and precisely to grant users access. The trackpad is big and smooth There are no issues there.
It runs Windows 11 Home, and comes with Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition for no cost. ASUS has also loaded a handful of tools and utilities, and of them the MyASUS software deserves special attention. The laptop management software lets you modify different aspects of your device that include performance and power audio and video, as well as input device. Particularly you can pick the charging mode for your battery as well as fan profiles. You can also create colour profiles for the display, adjust the the refresh speed, and much more. The program also permits users to benefit from different promotional deals that come with your laptop, for instance, an additional 25GB storage space on Dropbox and free trial versions of applications such as McAfee Live Safe and Privacy Guardian, as well as discounted prices for Acrobat professional DC, Ashampoo PDF Pro 3 and other.
The laptop is powered by a 12th-gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor the 16 gigs RAM and an NVMe SSD with 500GB of storage. Graphics processing is handled with Intel Iris Xe. It's obvious that this laptop wasn't made to be used for gaming. the laptop packs enough power to handle everyday tasks that require productivity including multitasking and managing a number of Chrome tabs in a row. It's smooth and never is able to sweat when under stress it just gets a bit warm. Benchmark results are decent as well. The battery's lifespan is decent and the battery's capacity is 70Whr. offering about 6-7 hours of use as well as the 90W Type-C charger juices it up in less than two hours.
The ASUS Vivobook S14 OLED starts at Rs 74,990 and at that price it offers quite a lot. The webcam's 720p resolution and the absence of a storage slot for memory cards are just minor issues, and the laptop scoring highly on performance and battery life, as well as keyboard ergonomics. Its OLED screen, naturally is the feature that may draw you in and it's not without reason. It's stunning and highly efficient, adding to the laptop's many options and features that make it a multi-tasking and entertainment device.
