It’s easy to<\/span> get caught up in the flashiness of laptop specs and designs in the high-end segment<\/a>, but sometimes you just want a smooth experience without much flair. That\u2019s exactly what the Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED delivers, offering some great hardware in a rather unassuming shell. It\u2019s also priced reasonably well at $900, which is out of the budget laptop range<\/a> but strikes a nice balance between performance and not hurting your wallet.<\/p>\n

The model Asus sent me for review is the Vivobook S 14 OLED (S5406MA-AS96), which includes an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 1 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of solid-state drive storage. Another version trades the processor out for a Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor and 32 GB of RAM for $1,200. If that isn’t confusing enough, yet another model foregoes Intel altogether for an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor at $1,200.<\/p>\n

Simple Powerhouse<\/h2>\n

The base model reviewed here is likely more than enough horsepower for most people. The Core 9 processor handled nearly all my daily tasks without breaking a sweat. You\u2019ll want to look elsewhere if you do any graphically intense work (like video editing or gaming). We aren\u2019t yet at a point where 16 GB of RAM is restrictive, and the amount of storage on board leaves plenty of breathing room for the long haul.<\/p>\n
