Reviews for the Asus VivoBook S 14 OLED S5406UA
Source: Manila Shaker
The best part about the new Vivobook S series though, is the price. These two laptops, if equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, starts at RM4,399 for the 14-inch and RM4,699 for the 16-inch model. As what I said at the beginning of this video – they’re surprisingly affordable. No cap, I thought this laptop was going to be at least RM5k because of how premium it is. We have a great metal design, great specs, great screen, great keyboard and trackpad, great selection of ports, and also a great battery life. All this for below RM5k is actually a good price.

At RM4,999, the ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED has a lot going for it: great CPU performance, amazing efficiency, a solid set of components, and some creature comforts sprinkled all over it. There hasn’t been many occasions I have so little to pick on a product, much less something as complex as a laptop – but I can confidently say this laptop is one of them.

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.
