The Asus Vivobook S16 has been on the market for over a year and in that time the low price has gotten even lower taking it under the $1,300 mark. There is now no doubt that this is the best value-for-money in the 16in laptop market. With its super light chassis, 3.2k OLED display, snappy Intel chip, and decent battery life, this is an absolute bargain. Sure, you might get more power with a MacBook, or an even better screen with Dell or Acer but what you get here is very close to premium performance in CPU and display technology for a significantly lower price. This is an outstanding and lightweight 16in laptop that we recommend, highly.

At Computex 2024, AMD announced the new Strix Point chipsets for laptops – and this new ASUS Vivobook S 16 M5606W is equipped with it. Now, I know that the ASUS Vivobook S’s lineup of rather confusing. We have an Intel version, Snapdragon version, and actually two AMD versions – one older generation and another is the latest Strix Point version. You have to pay attention to the codename of the laptop.

If you need a big and light machine with a great display, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED M5606 can give you all that. The metal chassis is thin and decently solid. The OLED display (Samsung ATNA60BX01-1 (SDC4178)) amazes us with its sharp image thanks to the 3200 x 2000 resolution and superb color coverage. The 120Hz HDR display has an infinite contrast ratio and reaches 385 cd/m2 max brightness in HDR mode. The “OLED Flicker-Free Dimming” function is a life-saver for people who are sensitive to the typical pulsations of the OLED panels. The performance of our laptop is just fine for everyday tasks. Keep in mind that the tested Ryzen 5 7535HS is the least powerful CPU for this ASUS series.

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.

Overall, the ASUS Vivobook S16 with the Snapdragon X chipset isn't a perfect laptop, but it’s a great one. For the price of just PHP 50,995, it definitely has its strong suits, such as the long battery life and nice display. The Snapdragon X chipset can also handle all your productivity workload as well. But if you want to game, you could consider the AMD or Intel versions of the Vivobook S16. Same exterior and features, just with a chipset we’ve all come to love. Not to mention you won’t have to worry about installing programs.

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.
Intel Arc 8-Core: Integrated graphics adapter based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides all 8 Xe cores (128 Xe vector engines) and 8 ray tracing units.
AMD Radeon 880M: A fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in June 2024 and a direct successor to the Radeon 780M. Its 12 CUs/WGPs (768 unified shaders) run at up to 2,900 MHz. 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 such as Once Human and The First Descendant at 1080p on low graphics settings.
AMD Radeon 660M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 6000 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA2 architecture with 6 of the 12 CUs (= 384 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1.9 GHz.
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.
Intel UHD Graphics 64EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Alder Lake SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture (Xe) with 64 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.
Intel Arc 140T: Integrated graphics unit of the Intel Arrow Lake H/HX CPU series. It is based on the Xe+ architecture and features 8 cores (128 CUs)

Its Performance cores, of which there are 6, run at up to 4.8 GHz while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.8 GHz. The integrated AI Boost NPU offers two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. This laptop processor's Base power consumption is 28 W while its Turbo power consumption is supposed to stay within 115 W.
AMD Strix Halo/Point (Zen 5/5c, Ryzen AI 300):
Ryzen AI 9 HX 370: A powerful Strix Point family processor that debuted in June 2024. The Ryzen AI 9 series APU comes with 12 CPU cores, the 16 CU RDNA 3+ Radeon 890M graphics adapter and the 50 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. There is still no PCIe 5 support here and 8 of the CPU cores are slower than the other 4.
AMD Rembrandt (Zen 3+):
R5 7535HS: Mobile Hexa-Core APU using six Zen 3+ cores clocked at 3.3 to 4.55 GHz and a RDNA2 graphics card with 6 CUs clocked at up to 1,900 MHz. Refresh of the old Ryzen 5 6600HS with a 50 MHz higher boost clock speed.
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.
Intel Arrow Lake:
Ultra 7 255H: High-end mobile processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture with 16 cores divided into 3 clusters. The fast 6 P-cores clock at up to 5.1 GHz. There are also 8 smaller E-cores with up to 4.4 GHz and 2 small low power cores (same architecture) with up to 2.5 GHz. It integrates a small NPU with 13 TOPS peak performance and supports vPro Essentials.
Intel Raptor Lake-H:
i7-13620H: Alder Lake based mobile CPU with 6 performance cores and 4 efficient cores. The performance cores offer hyper threading, leading to 16 threads that can be processed. The CPU clocks from 1.8 to 4.9 GHz and supports vPro.

16.00:
This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
