If you are in the market for an excellent multimedia laptop that is well under $1,000, Staples might just have what you are looking for. The retailer is currently selling the Asus Vivobook S14 (M5406WA) for just $749.99 with free shipping. This is a 40% discount on the full $1,249.99 list price and, based on the specs, is a stellar deal (linked at the end).
The Asus Vivobook S14 under discussion is 2024’s model with a Ryzen AI 9 365 APU, 24 GB of non-expandable RAM, and 512 GB of SSD. The laptop features a solid chassis that weighs just 1.3 kg (2.87 lbs.) and is only 0.63-inch thick. The body also houses an RGB-backlit keyboard, a large trackpad, a good port selection, and a big 75 Wh battery.
Around the front, the Vivobook S14 packs a stunning 14-inch OLED display. The panel features a silky 120 Hz refresh rate, a sharp 1800p resolution, and up to 600 nits of max HDR brightness. The screen also covers full DCI-P3 and comes factory-calibrated.
We have reviewed a sister model of the Asus Vivobook S14 on sale with a higher-performing Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 but a lower-end 60 Hz OLED display. Be sure to check our review for details on build quality, connectivity speeds, thermal/noise output, and more.
In summary, the discounted Vivobook S14 (M5406WA) will handle day-to-day tasks without a hitch thanks to the Ryzen AI 9 365. The Radeon 880M iGPU of the Ryzen AI 9 365 is also a respectable performer, as it can handle light gaming quite well. Add in 24 GB of RAM, which is quite generous in the current market, and the Vivobook S14 will last you for years to come.
Finally, the Asus Vivobook S14 lasted for an impressive 16.5 hours in our WLAN test thanks to the large 75 Wh battery. This means that you can use the laptop for a full workday and have plenty left in the tank to Netflix and chill later.
