Reviews for the Asus Vivobook 14 X1405ZA, i5-1235U

Clearly, the 90Hz OLED panel is the winner here. If you are someone who wants a laptop for regular use, works on MS Office, and presentations, do lighter photo and video edits, and watches a lot of video content and even for browsing, the OLED panel especially is a deal clincher here. This is not a laptop for heavy games or heavy software but otherwise, the i15 12-gen should be good enough for most normal use cases.

The Vivobook 14 OLED’s marketability lies in its splendid display capabilities along with its portable form factor. As a daily driver for office work, while also acting as a media consumption aid, the laptop makes for a good buy. Of course, there are areas of improvement for things like sound quality or battery life, but for the average user, the Vivobook 14 OLED is an enticing option.

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.

Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
