Asus VivoBook S 14X S5402Z review: World's first 14.5-inch 2.8K 120 Hz OLED laptop
Unlike the high-end Zenbook series, the Vivobook series targets the budget to midrange market at more price-conscious configurations and features. The Vivobook S 14X, however, is unique in that it integrates relatively high-end hardware features not found on other Vivobook models including its 14.5-inch form factor, 120 Hz OLED display, a mostly aluminum chassis, and a 12th gen Core H-series CPU. Such eye-catching options could easily pass on a Zenbook model. For this review, we'll try to identify any cut corners and benchmark how well the promising hardware can perform.
Our configuration in review comes with the 14.5-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1800) 120 Hz OLED display, Core i7-12700H CPU, 12 GB of mixed RAM (soldered + removable), and 512 GB PCIe3 storage for approximately $1000 USD retail. Lesser SKUs exist with the Core i5-12500H, but they all come with the same 2.8K 16:10 display.
Alternatives to the 14.5-inch Vivobook S 14X include 14.0-inch models like the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14, Huawei MateBook 14, HP Envy 14, or the Pavilion Plus 14. Note that many of these models ship with slower U-series CPUs whereas our Vivobook comes with H-series options.

Case — Classy New Design
Vivobook models are typically not as luxurious or strongly built as a pricier Zenbook, but this Vivobook S 14X is perhaps the closest yet for the series. The metal design looks and feels of higher quality than the older Vivobook S13 or Vivobook 14 which now seem outdated in comparison. Interestingly, Asus has dropped the ErgoLift hinges from previous generation Vivobook designs for a more standard lid that can open the full 180 degrees.
The weakest part of the Vivobook chassis is its display. Though glossy, it uses no edge-to-edge glass which typically reinforces both the screen and the lid. Thus, it's easier to twist and flex the lid on our Vivobook when compared to the stiffer lids on the Zenbook Flip 14, HP Spectre x360 14, or Dell XPS 13 — all of which have edge-to-edge glass reinforcement. The base of the laptop is otherwise stronger and much more resistant to warping than the lid. We observed similar properties on the 16-inch Vivobook Pro 16X which utilizes a very similar design language as our Vivobook S 14X.
In terms of size and weight, our Vivobook is just slightly larger and heavier than many 14-inch alternatives due to its slightly larger 14.5-inch 16:10 screen size. The 14.0-inch Matebook 14, for example, is about 100 g lighter and 7 to 15 mm smaller in length and width. That extra 0.5-inch in screen real estate doesn't come free in this regard.
Connectivity — Dual Thunderbolt 4 Ports
Port options are excellent for a 14-inch form factor. Not only are users getting full-size HDMI and two USB-A ports, but the system integrates two Thunderbolt 4 ports as well for better docking capabilities than even a Dell XPS 13. The main issue is port positioning as the ports along the right edge are packed too tightly together. The USB-A port along the left edge is 2.0 only.
Communication
The Intel AX211 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. We experienced steady transfer rates and no pairing issues when connected to our 6 GHz network.

Webcam
Camera quality is the typical 720p for both poor quality and colors. There is no IR or Windows Hello support.
Maintenance
The bottom panel is secured by ten T5 Torx screws with none hidden underneath the rubber footing for easy removal. Owners will have direct access to the single DDR4 SODIMM slot, M.2 2230 WLAN module, and M.2 2280 storage slot without needing to break any warranty stickers.
Accessories and Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The standard one-year limited warranty applies if purchased in the US.
Input Devices
Keyboard
The keyboard is more comfortable to type on than on a Lenovo IdeaPad or Dell Inspiron as the keys here have sharper and more satisfying feedback when pressed. Clatter is a bit louder than usual as a result of the stronger feedback.
Touchpad
The clickpad (13 x 7.5 cm) is larger than the ones on the IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 (10.5 x 7 cm) or Dell Inspiron 14 7420 (11.5 x 8 cm) to be very spacious for a 14-inch form factor. Traction is smoother than the surrounding palm rests with noticeable sticking only when gliding at slower speeds for easier clicking. However, a key drawback to the smooth matte plastic surface is that it is prone to unsightly fingerprint buildup over time. The silver color chassis option may be able to hide fingerprints better.
Feedback when clicking on the clickpad is unfortunately weak and with very shallow travel for an unsatisfying experience. Such an attribute is common amongst midrange or cheaper Ultrabooks with no dedicated mouse buttons. It's definitely recommended to use an external mouse if available.
Display — Ultra Smooth 120 Hz OLED
The 14.5-inch Vivobook S 14X comes with the exact same high quality Samsung ATNA45AF01-0 OLED panel as found on the 14.5-inch Zenbook Pro 14 Duo. Thus, both models share similar attributes and viewing experiences including the 120 Hz native refresh rate, deep black levels, full DCI-P3 color range, nearly instant black-white response times, and extremely uniform brightness distribution. Both even share the same flickering frequency of 240 Hz that's present on all brightness levels. The MyAsus software includes tools to reduce the intensity of the flickering, but they all involve dimming the panel in some way. If your eyes are sensitive to onscreen flickering, then it may be best to avoid using the laptop at high brightness levels.
Speaking of brightness levels, Asus advertises a maximum brightness of 600 nits. What the manufacturer doesn't make clear, however, is that this maximum rating can only be reached when playing HDR media in HDR mode. Otherwise, maximum brightness will be limited to just ~370 nits. If your tasks, apps, or games support SDR only, then you will not be able to reach the maximum 600-nit rating. The advertisement can therefore be a little misleading.
There are no other 14-inch laptops with 120 Hz OLED panels currently in the market outside of these two Asus Vivobook and Zenbook models. Aside from the unavoidable flickering, these OLED panels offer some of the best picture quality in the subnotebook category.

* ... smaller is better
Asus advertises a Pantone Validated display meaning accurate colors against the DCI-P3 standard. We're able to independently confirm the accurate colors with an X-Rite colorimeter as average DeltaE values are indeed very low across the board. Of all the tested colors, however, red appears to deviate the most with a DeltaE of 7.68 or approximately 3x to 4x the average.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240.4 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 240.4 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 240.4 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8687 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Outdoor visibility is not great under most conditions due to the glossy overlay and moderate brightness. Since most content is SDR and not HDR, users will only be getting a brightness of just ~370 nits instead of the 600 nit maximum in most scenarios. You'll want to work under shade whenever possible to reduce the glare.
Viewing angles are wider than IPS as OLED panels don't exhibit the same grayscale degradations from extreme angles. The unique rainbow effect is still present, however, much like on the OLED display of the Zenbook Flip 15.
Performance — Intel 12th gen Core H Processor
Testing Conditions
We set our unit to Performance mode via Windows and the MyAsus software prior to benchmarking for the highest possible scores. It's recommended that owners become familiar with the Asus software as key features related to performance, battery, display, and updates are all toggled here.
Processor
CPU performance is a mixed bag. When compared to the average laptop equipped with the same Core i7-12700H CPU, the processor in our Vivobook S 14X is about 20 percent slower. When compared to other similarly-sized 14-inch Ultrabooks running on Core U-series CPUs, however, our Asus is significantly faster. The Core i7-1165G7 in the Zenbook 14, for example, is 50 percent slower in multi-threaded workloads and the differences only become greater if comparing models running on 10th gen Ice Lake or Comet Lake-U CPUs. Thus, while the Core i7-12700H here could certainly be faster, it is arguably already very fast for a 14-inch form factor.
This same Core i7-12700H CPU can be found on many ultrathin gaming laptops such as the Schenker XMG Neo 15 to give an idea of how much performance is stuffed onto the Vivobook S 14X.

System Performance
PCMark results are generally higher than other 14-inch Ultrabooks powered by U-series CPUs but not by significant margins. While the Core i7-12700H is much faster than any U-series alternative on paper, the overall responsiveness of most daily applications is only marginally faster in practice.

Storage Devices
Our unit comes equipped with the 512 GB Micron MTFDKBA512TFK PCIe3 x4 NVMe SSD capable of sequential read and write rates of 3500 MB/s and 3000 MB/s, respectively. It's one of the faster PCIe3 x4 NVMe SSDs available which pairs well with the midrange Vivobook brand. The drive in our unit exhibits no issues maintaining maximum transfer rates when stressed for extended periods.
The MSI Pulse GL66 gaming laptop comes equipped with the exact same 512 GB Micron 2450 SSD.

GPU Performance
The integrated Iris Xe 96 EUs in our test unit returns disappointing results that are 30 percent slower than the average Iris Xe 96 EUs in our database. This performance deficit usually happens when RAM is slow and/or running in single-channel mode instead of dual-channel mode. The asymmetric RAM configuration of our unit (4 GB removable + 8 GB soldered) is the likely culprit of the relatively poor GPU performance. Though a bit of light gaming is possible at sub 1080p settings, it shouldn't be the primary application for this Vivobook.
Raw GPU performance is still significantly faster than the much older UHD Graphics 620 that was common on Ultrabooks prior to the Intel 10th gen CPU series.
