Reviews for the Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED S5406SA, Ultra 7 256V

To answer the big question: is it worth getting the Asus Vivobook S14 OLED? I would wholeheartedly say so! To give my verdict about the laptop and conclude my findings, I found the laptop to be supremely ideal for most users looking for a thin, light laptop for everyday use. It doesn’t miss out on anything significant, except for a few things like a dedicated GPU, high refresh rate display, and maybe even a touch-screen panel, but most of us won’t mind such commissions if the rest of the things are great, which they are. I can never stop praising OLED screens, and the same goes for this laptop. The performance output is better than expected, especially since it can comfortably run games like Valorant on high settings and heavy software.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Core Ultra 7 256V: An upper mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It essentially matches the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-thread performance and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
