This 14-inch Windows laptop has an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of RAM, a high-quality OLED screen, Thunderbolt 4, Windows Copilot+ features, and a lot more.
ASUS has discounted one of its Vivobook S 14 laptops to just $450, a savings of $500 from the original MSRP and a great deal for the hardware you get. It’s worth considering if you need a new laptop for productivity work or school, especially with its 16GB RAM and Windows 11 support.
There are many different variations of the Vivobook S 14, but this specific model has a 14-inch 1920×1200 AMOLED screen (so 1080p but slightly taller), a 60Hz refresh rate, a 512GB SSD for storage, 16GB RAM, and a backlit keyboard. This is also a Copilot+ PC, unlocking Windows features like Live Captions with translation, Windows Studio effects for the camera and microphone, and more.
The laptop is powered by an 8-core core Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 2 226V processor with integrated graphics. There’s no dedicated graphics card, which is great for battery life, but it means this isn’t an ideal PC for gaming or other graphically-intensive tasks. For connectivity, you get one HDMI 2.1, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB 3.2 Type-A connectors, two USB 4 Type-C ports, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth.
If you have an old laptop or other PC, this Vivobook could potentially be a great upgrade, especially if you need to upgrade from Windows 10 before mainstream support ends in October. You’re getting a fast PC with a recent Intel laptop processor, lots of expansion options with USB 4 and Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, and more headroom for multi-tasking and tab hoarding with the 16GB RAM. It could also be laptop for a student or someone else who needs a full-featured PC instead of a Chromebook or tablet.
It’s worth noting that this Vivobook S isn’t a 2-in-1 laptop. There’s no touch screen, and you can’t flip it backwards to use it like a tablet. That isn’t important to everyone, though, and the rest of the hardware is solid.
