Reviews for the Asus VivoBook S 14 OLED S5406MA

75% ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED 2024 review: a capable runner-up in a crowded race
Source: 91mobiles English
The ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED costs Rs 89,990 in India. For its asking price, the laptop gets a lot right. With that said, I should point out that the device faces stiff competition from laptops like the Acer Swift GO 14, which features a faster processor and a more powerful integrated GPU. Additionally, Acer’s contender comes with Windows Studio effects, which make it a better prospect for office-goers who routinely jump in and out of video calls. It also delivers more performance per buck spent.

Review – ASUS Vivobook S 14 (S5406) and Vivobook S 16 (S5606): Affordable and powerful
Source: Tech Critter English
The standout feature of the Vivobook S series is its affordability. The 14-inch model starts at RM4,399, and the 16-inch at RM4,699. For the price, these laptops offer a premium design, robust specs, excellent displays, and solid battery life. Do have a look at these laptops as I think they’re very affordable.

14.00":

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.
