ASUSVivobook S 14 OLED Slim Laptop, AMD Ryzen AI 9, 24GB, 1TB SSD, Customizable RGB Keyboard, Cool Silver, M5406WA-AH94

Just got the computer today . Took a while to set it up. This beauty is both light and fast .No touch screen, but very compact design and functional.

Laptop perfomrs good , battery last about 10 hours on youtube and and office work , if you do some serius stufff then you will get closer to 6.enormus diference of performance when plugged in , also a 20% performance increase when over a laptop ventilation base. measured in cinebench R23 14.534 and speeds of 2.3mhz vs 16.308, and speed tops at 3.3.advertised speeds are single core and for short durations.screen is really awesome super nice , good colors and more than you need brightnessover all it performs as espected.a couple of defects, Track pad not good at all finger get kind of sticky on it , not a good surface to slide fingers , any whay I always use a external mouse.finger print magnet , it gets dirty really quickly .there is a bit of a gap where you open the lid.

Dont buy this laptop with the price tag especially you would be better off with any other laptop. The build quality is so bad it feels like complete trash and very cheap plastic. The screen was glitching and the fan noise is also very loud under high load. The keyboard does not have a smooth or nice feel either. Trackpad kept lagging. I replaced this laptop with a Macbook air M3 and it cost me $100 less. I honestly dont understand what they are offering for this $1,199 price tag.

The laptop has a great display, it’s very lightweight for the performance, the intergrated gpu is way better than expected.I have installed linux on it though and every distro crashes randomly approx. once a day.If you want to install linux, I recommend waiting a few months for newer drivers.When trying to install windows, it requires some drivers, but no driver from the ASUS website works.

Do not expect to be able to read the keys in low light as the backlit keyboard works just fine as long as one has a flashlight to shine on it. Other than that, it is working fine, screen colors are good if not better than that, it was packaged well and it seems to be working well.

Quality as great.

The laptop offers a decently powerful APU for standard office tasks and light gaming, while maintaining good battery life. Chassis feels nice, and on the lighter-weight size.Unfortunately the QA is poor, leading me to return the laptop. I'm getting intermittent screen flickers after just a few weeks of use. Worse yet, the keyboard will periodically fail to register keystrokes, making typing even basic sentences painful.

The hinges and bezels near them creaked slightly when I lifted the lid. The right side of the touchpad was wobbly and would sink a bit if I rested my finger on it without actually pressing. There were also HDR issues, such as flickering. The keyboard felt nice, but the advertised wallpaper and keyboard RGB sync option was missing in the latest Windows 11 Pro version. I encountered problems with the USB A ports when trying to connect my Samsung T7 SSD. On the positive side, the colors on the OLED screen looked amazing, and typing felt smooth. Overall performance was great, though it’s not a gaming machine. It’s ideal for work, media consumption, and similar tasks. Batter was also okay, but nothing mindblowing. Just be mindful of brightness levels and avoid leaving static images on the screen for extended periods in order to avoid OLED burn in.P.S. I had to pay $205 USD to return it to Amazon and even though they promised to refund the return shipping costs to me in full due to it being a faulty device, they refunded less than promised, and that was after at least 15 conversations with different agents and hours spent explaining the issue over and over again. The last agent said he'd allow a refund of $150 USD as a sign of Amazon's good will, as if they hadn't promised to give me all of my money back.
