Deal | Sleek Asus Vivobook S15 with fast Ryzen AI APU and 120 Hz OLED display is now $200 off
Introduced in Summer 2024 as a CoPilot+ PC with AMD’s then-latest Ryzen AI 9 Strix Point APUs, the Asus Vivobook S15 OLED is a fast and portable laptop with a great display. Newegg has now cut $200 off the price of the notebook, bringing the Vivobook S15 OLED to only $1,099.99 (linked at the end).
Specs-wise, the Asus Vivobook S 15 leaves nothing to be desired. The notebook is powered by a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 alongside 32 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 1 TB of storage. Our testing of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 confirms that the 12-core Zen 5 chip is among the most powerful CPUs on the market.
Combined with the Radeon 890M iGPU, users can use the Vivobook S15 for light AAA gaming. This is helped by the fact that Asus has outfitted the laptop with new 97-blade fans and dual heatpipes to manage the thermal output.
Aside from the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the 15.6-inch 2,880x1,620 OLED display is the other headlining feature of the Vivobook S15. The OLED panel is not only colorful with 100% DCI-P3 coverage but also boasts up to 500 nits of brightness and has a 120 Hz refresh rate.
Moreover, Asus also allows users to turn on several burn-in protections from inside the MyAsus app. These protections are aimed at slowing down the rate of OLED degradation to increase panel longevity.
Other notable details on the outside include a per-key RGB keyboard, a large trackpad with built-in gestures of volume/brightness control, and a good variety of ports. The ports include:
- Two USB Type-C ports with PD and DP (one USB4)
- Two Type-A ports
- One 3.5 mm headphone jack
- A single HDMI out
- A microSD card reader
Finally, Asus claims that the 75 Wh battery affords more than 17 hours of battery life to the Vivobook S 15 M5506WA. The laptop also supports 90 W fast charging, managing 0-60% in half an hour.
In short, if you want a sleek and portable multimedia laptop that doesn’t miss a beat, boasts a stellar display, and has long battery life, the Asus Vivobook S15 OLED on sale fits the bill perfectly.
