90% ASUS Vivobook S14 S3407QA Review: More Than Just a “Typing Machine”
Source: Root Nation English
This isn’t just a durable typing machine – it’s a reliable portable media center. You can run games, do basic video editing, and enjoy impressive battery life. The limitations, both in software compatibility and performance, are clear, but given the large audience for devices like the MacBook Air, there’s certainly a market for the ASUS Vivobook S14 S3407QA as well. Overall, it’s a device I can recommend. This isn’t just a durable typing machine anymore – it’s a reliable, portable media center. You can run games, handle basic video editing, and the battery life is strong. Limitations are clear, both in software compatibility and performance, but given the large audience for the MacBook Air, there’s likely a similar market for the ASUS Vivobook S14 S3407QA.

80% Excellent battery life and work comfort: ASUS Vivobook S14 (2025) laptop review
Source: Mezha EN English
ASUS Vivobook S14 generally leaves a pleasant impression. It has everything that undemanding users with ordinary routine tasks need. Such a laptop will provide the needs for office work and media playback, is well suited for learning, will allow you to quickly get acquainted with the AI functions of Windows, while also providing excellent autonomy and quiet operation. However, all potential buyers will still have to take into account that the adaptation of “software” to ARM chips is not as fast as we would like. Therefore, before purchasing, you will still have to “run” through the list of all requirements for a new laptop and make sure that the corresponding versions of programs will work properly.

Source: Exhibit.tech English
The Asus Vivobook S14 is a thoughtfully designed productivity laptop that punches above its weight in many areas. While the display isn’t suited for colour-critical work and there’s no discrete GPU, it shines as a dependable all-day performer for professionals, students, and hybrid workers. If your focus is on portability, daily reliability, light creative tasks, and clean design, this Vivobook should be high on your list.

90% Asus Vivobook S14 review (2025 M5406KA model, AMD Krackan Ryzen AI 7 350)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
The Asus Vivobook S14 series offers a handful of well-balanced mid-priced portable notebooks, all built on capable and efficient latest-gen AMD hardware. The M5406KA models are affordable and well suited for general use, while the M5406WA variants built on Strix Point hardware offer extra power in sustained workloads and games, at a slightly higher price.

Comment

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it's only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings.

AMD Radeon 860M: A fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in early 2025 and a direct successor to the Radeon 760M. Its 8 CUs/WGPs (512 unified shaders) run at up to 3 GHz. DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. Its gaming performance is good enough for playing 2024 games in low graphics settings.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Qualcomm Snapdragon X:

SD X1-26-100: An affordable ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The 8-core Snapdragon X chip features 8 Oryon CPU cores running at up to 2.98 GHz, along with the 1.7 TFLOPS X1-45 Adreno iGPU and the 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU. The super-fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller known to us from other Snapdragon X chips, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are all onboard as well.

AMD Strix / Gorgon Point:

Ryzen AI 7 350: A relatively powerful Krackan Point family processor that was introduced in early 2025. The APU integrates 8 CPU cores (4 Zen 5 cores with up to 5 GHz and 4 Zen 5c cores with up to 3.5 GHz).

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

84.31%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
