We have seen a few great deals for the Intel-based VivoBook S14 over the past few months, and now the time has come for the AMD-based models to shine. Ebay currently lists a refurbished AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 variant for $949.99, which is 24% off the list price of a brand new unit. Certified refurbished models are as good as new, with occasional minor chassis imperfections.
Besides the relatively powerful APU that features 10 Zen 5 cores with 20 thread capability boosting to 5 GHz and the integrated Radeon 880M GPU + 50 TOPS NPU, this model’s highlight is the 14-inch OLED display with 2880 x 1800 resolution, 600 nit peak brightness in HDR model and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut along with Pantone validation.
Other premium features that are hard to find at this price point include 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory (non-upgradeable) and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Additionally, the port selection comes with a USB4 connector for speedy transfers, plus the standard USB-C 3.2, 2X USB-A 3.2, audio jack and HDMI 2.1 TMDS video out. Also provided is a microSD card reader and connectivity is ensured via a Wi-Fi-6E + BT 5.3 card. Worth mentioning are the FHD webcam, RGB backlit chiclet keyboard and a relatively big battery with 75 Wh capacity. The package comes with a 90 W power adapter.
Total weight without the power adapter is 2.87 lbs and chassis profile measures only 0.63 inches.
