Reviews for the Asus VivoBook S 16 OLED S5606MA
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Asus Vivobook S 16 OLED proves mid-range laptops don’t have to be bland. Sure, it’s essentially a fairly high-performance everyday laptop with a bigger-than-most display and a trendy OLED panel, but there are other stand-outs. Asus uses an unusually deep and satisfying keyboard, which I find more comfortable to use for hours on end than many of the most expensive models around. This keyboard also has a gamer-style backlight that can be tuned to whatever colour you like. Elements of the design, most notably the plastic touchpad, mean it’s not in the same luxury league as a MacBook Air M3 or Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro, but to get either of those with 16GB RAM and a 512GB or 1TB SSD? You’re looking at big money.

The ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED retails for Rs 1,16,990 in India. For its asking price, the device gets a lot right, offering a stunning display, great performance, and a lightweight, albeit durable, design. While you could get a better bang for your buck by opting for the Yoga 7i, you will miss out on a high-res display that refreshes at 120Hz. Correspondingly, those in the market for a dependable laptop with a top-notch screen will find a lot to like here.

Its optimal screen size for media content, coupled with a gorgeous OLED display, creates an explosive combination. There are enough ports for everyday tasks, and the keyboard is large and comfortable. The only slight disappointment is the quality of the touchpad, but otherwise, it’s not just a laptop, but a sweet treat!

ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED offers high performance in applied tasks, a high-quality 16-inch OLED screen and high autonomy - in office mode, its charge will last for 9 hours of operation. At the same time, the laptop has a thin and light metal case, so despite the size of the screen, it is easy to take with you on the road - it weighs only one and a half kilograms. This model is expected to go on sale in Ukraine in July, with exact prices currently unknown, but it is expected that the minimum configuration will start at around UAH 40 thousand.

To put this short review into a few words: the Asus Vivobook S16 OLED for 2024 is an appealing 16-inch ultrabook for anyone looking for a large-screen portable machine for entertainment, work, and productivity. It is light enough for everyday carry, has an excellent display, a powerful processor, and decent backup with good enough I/O.

Overall, I strongly recommend the Vivobook S16 OLED as it is a great choice for both working professionals and students. The powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor-155H chipset and all-metal chassis give it a premium feel. The stunning display and extended battery life make it an all-purpose laptop that is easy to carry around. This is an all-rounder device that offers value.

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.

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.

You have plenty to choose from if you want a light, sleek 16-inch laptop with a high-quality display. The doyen of this category is Apple's 16.2-inch MacBook Pro, a machine that's hard to fault until you have to pay for it. Cheap it is not. Samsung will tempt you with the Galaxy Book 4 and Acer with the Swift X 16. Both are decent laptops, though the latter only features a 16-inch display in the more expensive Pro and Ultra models, and the former is rather lacklustre in design. That leaves a gap in the market for a cutting-edge 16-inch ultrabook that won't break the bank. And Asus' new Vivobook S16 may be just the ultrabook to plug that gap.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
