ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED Slim Laptop, AMD Ryzen AI 9, 24GB, 512GB SSD, Customizable RGB Keyboard, Neutral Black, M5406WA-DS76

Fantastic CPU in an affordable hardware package
This thing has a powerhouse of a mobile CPU with the 7940HS and benchmarks quite well. It is very quiet under load by default, which comes with a reduction in performance, but can be switched into a performance cooling mode which is moderately loud but provides sufficient cooling to provide performance out of this processor that equals laptops at twice the price.The memory can be upgraded, if necessary, up to 40GB. The stock SSD is shockingly fast and provides for an off to genuinely usable boot time of around 5 seconds. ASUS did NOT bottleneck this machine with slow components outside of the CPU. The wireless chip is modern with WIFI 6e standards, but throughput is capped at 1×1, so roughly 150mbit.As a desktop replacement for web browsing, streaming, office tasks, this thing is extremely fast and smooth. The display is 1920×1200, but this works well at the given size and helps make up for the lack of a discrete GPU in most use cases. My biggest complaint is the touchpad clunkiness but this can be rectified with the use of a wireless mouse. The keyboard is okay, won’t break easily, but isn’t the best feeling. The keyboard layout is very acceptable for most tasks.The integrated GPU is surprisingly powerful and can handle more than one would expect, but this isn’t a gaming laptop by any means. Minecraft and other games that are CPU heavy run quite well. This would struggle to run more GPU heavy titles.The physical hardware is cleverly designed, maintaining a rugged feel, but on a budget. On tear down, it is very clear where the cost savings has been. Nothing that is unnecessary is inside this thing and it has quite a lot of open space where more battery could have been added, but likely omitted due to cost.The charger is a proprietary plug, not USB-C, however it can be charged via USB-C, but using the included charger has additional charging benefits. Battery life is great. The charger has a mode to enable protecting the battery if it will remain plugged into the wall for prolonged use.Overall, I can’t find another laptop with this amount of hardware performance, general usability, and responsiveness for anywhere close to this price.

Good allrounder
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.

great laptop
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.

Esta increible, por el monto en que la compre desquita cada peso.

I’m genuinely shocked by this laptop. I bought it because of its 7940HS processor and 810H grade materials, but those specs don’t seem to deliver. My old laptop with an i5xxxU processor outperforms this one, despite its slower clock speed of 1.75 GHz compared to this laptop’s 4 GHz base clock. This is even with the Windows performance mode activated.You might think I’m pushing the laptop too hard, but I only installed Microsoft Word. Yet, when trying to delete a line, the screen flickered as if I were running a high-definition video. The sound, marked as “Sonic Master,” is so poor it’s almost unusable, despite updating drivers and tweaking every possible setting. The Wi-Fi is so slow I thought I had switched to dial-up. The screen is fine, but the ports are outdated. Overall, this has been the worst laptop experience I’ve ever had.

Hasta ahora todo bien con la computadora portátil, funciona muy bien y estuvo a buen precio
