Price-to-performance deficit. The Asus VivoBook S14 S406UA delights with a slim, light case, a thin display lid, a backlit keyboard and great battery life. The screen and the case, however, disapoint.

I personally love the Asus VivoBook S14 S406U. It's one of the very few models in its price segment to sport the right ingredients for good performance. Intel's 8th Gen Core i5 along with 8GB of RAM should keep the laptop up to date until Intel's 9th Gen line-up flows in. Though SATA, the solid-state drive inside makes a world of difference to the laptop's overall computing speed. The compromise on storage volume is well worth the speed benefit gained instead. What's more, it's got a comfortable backlit keyboard and a precision touchpad. The audio quality is respectable too.

The answer is yes. The VivoBook S14 is one of the first few Windows laptops to challenge the MacBook Air, the way it does, and also it manages to give Apple's machine a run for its money, while at it, at least for the most part. It looks premium, has the best in-class display, latest hardware, and an aggressive price tag. It's not perfect. It could have done with a bigger battery, but then, fast charging ensures that it is up and running in a jiffy.

The Swift 5 is still recommended if you’re in the pursuit of ultimate portability. Another alternative could be the Apple MacBook Air, which doesn't have as up-to-date specifications and isn't as light, but has a much sturdier body.

The ASUS VivoBook S14 turned out to be an excellent portable notebook. It’s very light weighing only 1.3 kg / 2.9 lbs (depending on the configuration) which is less than most other 14-inch notebooks on the market. Another thing that is important especially for people who type a lot is that the keyboard is very comfortable and easy to get used to though it flexes a bit.

The VivoBook S410U is a perfectly good portable pal, but shows too many flaws considering its near-£1000 asking price.

The VivoBook S410U is a successful progression of the series, with decent battery life, compact and stylish body. The machine is ready to handle all day-to-day tasks competently. One of the great security feature is the inclusion of fingerprint scanner.

Asus VivoBook S14 ticks all the boxes for a good laptop, and it hardly leaves any room for complaints. It offers a minimalistic design, good keyboard and superior performance. Although the minimum bezels display was impressive, it has no support for touchscreen. Fingerprint reader performs accurately as well. But poor audio output does stop it from emerging as a true entertainer and as I said, your last hope is to plug in earphones for listening to audio.

ASUS VivoBook S14 S430 is one of the better devices for you to consider if you’re on the look of a 14-inch multimedia laptop. It is right in the same league with the Lenovo Ideapad 330s (14″), which could be considered as one of the best 14-inchers for its price. There are some differences between the two, but some of them are crucial. For example they both feature an IPS display with relatively adequate default settings, good contrast ratio and all the other goodies of an IPS panel, however, the VivoBook S14 S430’s screen doesn’t flicker, while the Ideapad 330s (14″) uses an aggressive PWM profile. On the contrary, the VivoBook’s keyboard is is a little susceptible to bends.

Furthermore, you are going to have to pay a lot more for the LG gram 14 with similar specifications. The VivoBook S14 only comes in the configuration that I listed above and is priced at S$1,598. A gram 14 with similar specifications is going to set you back S$2,299 — that's a difference of S$700!

What we had today was a really solid machine. Despite some downsides, which honestly were pretty petty not to be fixed, we think that the VivoBook S14 S432 would make a great addition to the home of people that need a fast, portable and sleek looking laptop. Similarly to the ZenBook notebooks of this year, this device is embracing innovation, rather than sticking to the old and well established.

Despite its few shortcomings, it’s not a bad choice by any means. The VivoBook S431 is ideal for everyday computing, online video playback, and heavy web browsing. What’s more, the battery will last quite a long while too (though not as long as the VivoBook X403). Even if it suffers from a mild identity crisis, the Asus VivoBook S431 is a fine choice for students and working professionals alike. Do yourself a favour and buy it in a colour that’s not as plain and boring as the Transparent Silver that we got.

After going through all the parameters, it's safe to say the new Asus VivoBook S14 431 is a good midrange laptop that will suffice for most casual laptop users looking to buy a laptop under Rs 60,000. The laptop performs daily tasks well. The lightweight and ergonomic build, which now gets a modern design refresh, should keep the fashion-conscious happy. The battery life is still average and Asus could have done something to offer at least an 8-hours battery life. And in late 2019, it could have made sense to offer a 10th Gen or at least a 9th Gen Intel processor.

For the most part, the 2020 VivoBooks S14s have outgrown their mid-tier segment, with neat design lines, excellent build quality, competent specs and long battery life, as well as fine inputs and punchy screens. Asus still went with fairly dim panels here, which limit the laptops' usability in brighter environments, and there are a few more quirks you should be aware of, regarding the keyboard/panel options on the lower-end S433FA models, and well as the overall performance of the S433FL variants with Nvidia graphics. We're covering all these in the review down below.

Let’s take a step back and look at the big picture. This new ASUS VivoBook S14 M433 is a beautiful laptop with really solid build quality, yet offers a rather powerful AMD chip inside. Both the CPU and GPU performance is great – just that the VRAM is just insufficient. All in all, I really like the new ASUS VivoBook S14 M433.

The ASUS VivoBook S14 will set you back RM3199, which I do believe is a very reasonable price for what you are getting. A portable laptop that will fit into any bag and not weigh you down, yet have enough performance for you to fire up some games if you are in the mood for it.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems. The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.
In the notebook sector, Asus had a global market share of about 11% from 2014-2016, making it the fourth largest laptop manufacturer. In the smartphone sector, Asus is not among the Top 5 and has only a small market share (as of 2016).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.
NVIDIA GeForce MX150: Pascal GP108 based laptop graphics card and mobile version of the desktop GeForce GT 1030. Offers 384 shader cores and usually 2 GB GDDR5 with a 64 Bit memory bus. Manufactured in 14nm.
NVIDIA GeForce MX250: Successor of the MX150 and still based on the same Pascal GP108 chip (similar to the desktop GT 1030) but with higher clock speeds. Available in two versions, a normal 25 Watt version and a low power version with 10 Watt TDP and reduced performance. The 25 Watt version e.g. offers a 21% higher boost clock than the old MX150 leading to a 5% performance gain.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.
