The Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED laptop has, once again, dropped in price. The latest discount brings the final price of laptop to an astounding 47% less than the list MSRP. So, with a Core Ultra 5 226V, 16 GB of RAM, and an OLED display, the Asus Vivobook S 14 present a mouth-watering value.

The Asus Vivobook S 14 (Q423SA) with the Lunar Lake APUs has been one of the cheapest OLED laptops over the past months. Initially launched at an MSRP of $949.9, the laptop was retailing for $649 in Q4 2024 before slipping down even further. Just last month, we reported that the Vivobook S 14 could be yours for just $549.99.

The laptop is now back on sale at an even better price. You can now get yourself an Asus Vivobook S 14 (Q423SA) for only $499.99. This is a discount of a staggering $450 on the $949.99 list price.

Asus Vivobook S 14 is a sensible combination of portability and usability

Coming in at just 1.3 kg (2.87 lbs) and packing a 14-inch display with thin bezels, the Asus Vivobook S 14 is quite easy to carry around. However, this portability doesn’t come at the cost of usability, as the Vivobook S 14 on sale packs respectable hardware.

First up, the Core Ultra 5 226V and 16 GB of fast memory will provide enough power to cruise through routine tasks like web browsing and document editing. While not the fastest, the Arc 130V Xe2 iGPU can also be used to play lighter indie/AAA games.

Secondly, at just $500, the Vivobook S 14 is one of a select few Windows laptops that bring an OLED display at this affordable price point. Users will enjoy watching media on the 14-inch 1200p OLED panel thanks to its 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 400 nits of brightness, and 600 nits of HDR brightness.

Other niceties include a wide array of ports that also include two Thunderbolt 4 ports, 512 GB Gen 4 SSD that you can swap out for a bigger/faster drive, Wi-Fi 7/BT 5.4, a single-zone RGB keyboard, and a 75 Wh battery. Thanks to Lunar Lake’s efficiency, the 75 Wh will last well above 15 hours as shown by our review of the Asus Vivobook S 14 (S5406SA).

In short, if you are in the market for an affordable Windows laptop that nails the basics, the Asus Vivobook S 14 on sale is a near-perfect match.
