Asus Vivobook S16 Laptop Review: Good everyday computer with almost 20 hours of battery life for €899
Everyday PC with a 144 Hz IPS display.
With its Snapdragon X processor, the Asus Vivobook S16 offers sufficient performance for everyday use, and the matte IPS display impresses with its high 2.5K resolution and 144 Hz. We were also impressed with the long battery life of almost 20 hours during our testing.Andreas Osthoff, 👁 Andreas Osthoff, ✓ Vaidyanathan Subramaniam (translated by DeepL / Ninh Duy) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
Verdict: Vivobook S16 is a good everyday notebook
The Vivobook S16 makes for a reliable everyday laptop with sufficient performance as long as you don't have problems with some of the limitations of the ARM platform.
You get very long battery run times, and our review device shows no real weaknesses when it comes to the basics such as having a good keyboard, decent speakers, and sufficient ports with USB 4.
The matte 2.5K IPS display with the high resolution and 144 Hz makes a good impression, but the factory calibration is not convincing.
A particular negative, which is also somewhat annoying in everyday use, is the poor visibility of the keys, requiring you to often resort to the backlight.
For an RRP of €899, however, you get a fair overall package, which performs better overall than the comparable Lenovo ThinkBook 16.

With the Vivobook S16, Asus is launching an affordable everyday computer on the market. Our review device that current retails for €899 is equipped with the Snapdragon X1-26-10016 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a matte 2.5K IPS display with 144 Hz.
Specifications
Case: Stable, plastic construction
Asus combines an aluminum lid with a plastic base unit in the Vivobook S16, whereby the surfaces have no problems with fingerprints. Overall, the chassis — which can be had in either silver or dark gray options — makes a high-quality impression with good stability.
There are only minimal creaking noises when twisting, but this is not an issue in everyday use. The hinges are properly adjusted and allow a maximum opening angle of 180°. The maintenance options are limited to the SSD, the WLAN module, the fan, and the battery (if necessary).
In terms of hardware onboard, you get the important USB 4.0 & HDMI 2.1 standards, but the Wi-Fi 6E WLAN module only works at 80 MHz, which limits the maximum transfer rate to 1 Gb/s. The 1080p webcam comes with a mechanical aperture and IR sensor and takes decent pictures with support for Windows Studio Effects.
The Vivobook S16 is a Copilot+ laptop.

Sustainability
Asus does not provide any information on the use of recycled materials or environmental certificates. The packaging is made entirely of paper/cardboard.
Input devices: Convenient, but hard to see keyboard
The keyboard has a numeric keypad and a three-stage white illumination. The typing feel is very comfortable thanks to the long stroke of 1.7 mm and even long texts can be written without much trouble.
However, the visibility of the keys on our silver test variant is a problem as the letters are simply very difficult to see. This necessitates use of the keyboard backlight even in bright surroundings.
The large touchpad is slightly offset to the left and offers good gliding properties as well as additional brightness and volume gestures at the sides.
Display: 2.5K 144 Hz IPS with no PWM
The Vivobook S16 is available with either a 60 Hz 1080p OLED or a 2.5K 144 Hz IPS panel, the latter of which comes installed in our review device. The subjective picture quality is very good, with cursor movements in particular benefiting from the high refresh rate.
Additionally, even bright content on the matte screen does not look grainy and there is no PWM flickering either. The response times are generally inconspicuous, but there is a clearly visible halo on the test device. Both the brightness and the color temperature can be adjusted via a sensor.
The IPS panel also has an advantage in terms of high brightness levels with values around 400 cd/m² (OLED: 300 cd/m²). The low 0.22 cd/m2 black level results in a good maximum contrast ratio.
That being said, the factory calibration is not particularly good and, in addition to high color deviations, there is also a clear blue tinge.
We were unable to calibrate the panel as our calibration software is not compatible with Windows on ARM. The OLED version with the extended color space and corresponding color profiles is likely to have an advantage in this regard.

Performance: Snapdragon X with 16 GB RAM
The Asus Vivobook S16 is equipped with the Snapdragon X1-26-100 and 16 or 32 GB of soldered LPDDR5x-8488 RAM depending on the chosen config. There are still restrictions on the compatibility of programs, as native ARM versions are required in most cases.
Conventional x86 apps can be emulated for the most part, but the results vary from loss of performance to crashes. This limts our ability to run our usual test suite to the full extent.
Qualcomm has a dedicated website that lists which apps have native ARM versions.
Test conditions
Asus offers various energy profiles that are also linked to the Windows settings. We used the Performance for our testing.
Processor: Snapdragon X1-26-100
The Snapdragon X (X1-26-100) is the slowest Snapdragon processor for notebooks. The SoC offers eight CPU cores as with the faster variants, but with a lower maximum clock rate of 2.96 GHz and without dual-core turbo.
Under full load, however, the TDP should still be around 45 W, which then quickly settles to about 35 W. This information is based on measured power consumption, as the TDP of the Snapdragon chips cannot be read out.
Due to the lower clock rate, the single-core performance in particular is quite weak but the multi-core scores are good. The performance on offer is definitely sufficient for everyday tasks, and it remains stable on battery power as well.

Noise emissions
The Vivobook is a very quiet device under low load, and you'll hardly hear the fan in everyday use. It only starts getting louder under heavier CPU load with a maximum noise level of 47.6 dB(A).
That being said, it is still too loud for this performance class (Full power: 50.2 dB(A), Standard: 41.3 dB(A), Quiet: 31.8 dB(A)). There were no other electronic noises in the test device.

Battery life
The battery run times of the Vivobook S16 are very good. In the WLAN test with 150 cd/m² brightness (brightness slider set at 58%) and a 60 Hz refresh rate, the Vivobook S16 lasts nearly 20 hours and even at full brightness, it still manages to clock just under 15 hours.
Only the ThinkBook 16 G7 performs better in the WLAN test, but because it benefits from a larger battery and lower screen resolution.
Notebookcheck overall rating
The Asus Vivobook S16 offers enough performance for basic daily productivity with excellent battery life.
