Reviews for the Asus VivoBook S 14 OLED S5406MA, Ultra 7 155H
Source: PC World
The Asus Vivobook S 14 is a nice 14-inch Lunar Lake laptop at a good price. It has solid build quality, an OLED screen, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage for a $1,199 retail price. That’s hard to argue with, especially if you catch it for a few hundred dollars off on sale. If you’re looking for a 14-inch laptop with lots of battery life and good software compatibility — no potential issues, as with an ARM-powered Qualcomm Snapdragon X-powered laptop — it’s a solid choice.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
