ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip 14†WUXGA 16:10 touch, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, NumberPad, FingerPrint, Windows 11 Home, Quiet Blue, TN3402QA-AS54T

so ive waited a good while to write this review. I absolutely hunt and grind when im looking for a product to buy and i will look at every single aspect of a device before i make a decision.1. screen quality:the screen is relatively bright and indoors i have no real issues with glare. the resolution is high enough that i dont feel a need for more. no dead pixels but i will say color is NOT a strong point for this laptop. im not a content creator and even i feel the transition from my desktop to this laptop jarring when it comes to colors. the default wallpaper makes it look god but even on the vivid preset, it is quite washed out. nout a deal breaker but not color accurate by any means.2. Battery life:so i havnt reach the full extent of the battery because i immediatly enabled the battery life saver that stops charging at 80% and i consider 30% to be dead so right away i lose 50% of max battery and still i get about 3 and a half hours with typical school use which is browser tabs with max brightness so pretty solid. it charges quickly with the included 90 watt charger and even my aftermarket 65 watt charger charges it form 30 to 80% in 1 hours while using it.3. Performance:Performance has been great so far. i havnt pushed it to its absolute max but it can handle light gaming and even modern games if you crank the settings down. the heat that comes out on heavy use is intense but under light use the fan doesnt even kick on so it stays cool and silent in most use cases.4. keyboard:Keyboard is good enough for what it is. this entire review was typed on the laptop without too many issues. the backlight is busted by default, there is a setting in the included asus software that fixes the backlight not changing with the function key. under customization, input device settings set function key lock to normal function key uses and it will work as expected.5. Upgrades:so far i have upgrades the ram to 24gb with a single 16gb stick and a swapped the included wifi card with an intel one and that helped with the slow connection to wifi on startup. the would be about a 30 second delay after boot where there would be no internet. the ssd can be swapped with a larger 2210 but the 512gb is enough for me and its plenty fast. very easy to open and clean.conclusion:i absolutely love this laptop. ive never owned a relatively modern laptop and this is an amazing first start. i hope it holds up for many years to come

There aren't many reviews online for the Vivobook S14 Non-OLED version so I may even make a video review of it.While this is not an OLED screen, it looks fantastic. Probably better than all other IPS displays I ever saw.The touchscreen works great.You CAN charge it on the USB-C port, even with a weak 5V output phone charger. In that case charging is slow, so it's best when charged with the closed lid in the sleep mode. I use a 20V, 33W USB-C charger and it works great. But, the stock ASUS 90W charger of course charges it the fastest.The Ryzen 5600H is blazing fast, at least for my work. I haven't tried any graphically intensive tasks yet.I haven't installed more RAM for now.The keyboard is fantastic. I write a lot in my work, and it feels great. The muffled keystroke sound coupled with some kind of unique matt coating makes the keyboard one of the best I ever used.The sound quality is pretty good for a laptop. My other laptops can't compare.The camera has a shutter, a nice feature.The hinges look like they will last a long time.The laptop is light and easy to carry with you.Above all, the aesthetics of it are phenomenal. Easily the most beautiful laptop I ever had. I hope it'll serve me well for a long time.

I got the Ryzen 7 8Gig of RAM configuration.When I got it, it was fast, but the main issue I had was that the Fan noise was jarring. I upgraded the RAM (Added a 16 GB chip) and love how much faster, smoother, and quieter it is.The display took a little bit of getting used to because it's 16:10 and not 16:9, however I'm happy for the slightly more screen real-estate.The battery is fast, and I'm happy with the build quality and how easy it is to upgrade.Things to be mindful of:The edges are a bit sharp, so if you do a lot of typing, make sure your wrists aren't resting directly on the edge. The fingerprint reader is a little dodgy, but I've set a pin code and am happy with that.I LOVE the keyboard, the clicks are so satisfying (to me, I know how subjective keyboards are).All-in-all, it's a great computer for the price. This is more than enough laptop for most people. Gamers: this one isn't for you (unless you're using gamepass or something), and for those who are business power users, this might not be perfect for you either.I would recommend this laptop for Highschoolers or college students, realtors, or those looking for a general purpose computing

I'm going to leave the technical elements to others. I love this thing! I've never had a laptop that was smaller than 17" gaming rig. I was worried that 14" would be too small. This one isn't for gaming, just everything else. The portability is fantastic. Battery life is good with smart features to extend your time between charges. The flip and touch screen options make it great for meetings. It feels very solid. I've been using it for 3 months and I decided to write this review because I was aware of how happy I am. And while I may be the one with the least expensive hardware at the table, it doesn't look or feel that way.

For the cost, this PC is excellent. 8 GB of RAM is absolutely adequate for school work, basic home things, web browsing, and other moderate tasks. This PC's processor is decent and helps complement the mid-range amount of RAM so you don't have hangups.I mainly use it for web browsing, file handling, and things for military work since I need to be able to use a USB card reader with a Windows computer.If you plan on finding a computer for gaming, do not get this computer. It is not made for gaming and you should get a PC with a dedicated GPU. This computer can handle cloud gaming applications like NVIDA GE Force, Bluestacks X, and others with its Wifi 6.
