I was thinking abut this laptop as well, Core Ultra 9 under 1K is impressive... seriously underrated channel by the way!
So much information in the videos. Love the new intro song 😀
Thanks a ton!
@@andrewmarcdavidYou’re welcome :)
Great review Andrew. Love how you cover so many points across all aspects.
Which one would you choose?
This or the ZenBook 14x?
Awesome! Been waiting on this
Enjoy it
Thank you sir, keep up the awesome work.
I think the 2024 Asus Vivobook S 14 has a lot going for it. It's got a beautiful and bright OLED display, 16GB of Fast RAM, Core Ultra 9 185H processor for a bump in performance, 1TB SSD and great battery life! The 1080p webcam and internal mics are clear. I think for the base price of $899.99 this laptop is a real gem!! Awesome review Andrew! 👍😁
Nice! Will you review the 16 inch version too??
Great review!! How does Lenovo Slim 7i, ultra 7 processor and 32gb ram compare to this? Would you pick higher ram?
Great review! Thank you for your hard work. Do you know if the battery would last longer with a Core Ultra 5 compared to the Core Ultra 9, all other things being equal?
Hey Andrew! Love your channel. Whenever i need to purchase a laptop, i always make it a point to watch your review 🙏
Glad you like them!
Nice reasonable priced pc. Camera and mics good. Display good. Port selection for this size laptop is good. Nice to see an sd cart slot. Speakers okay. Like to see these units use dark colored keys as opposed to the light silver keys on many laptops. Speakers were okay. Great quality review as always.
I have just picked up my unit 14 inch S5406 (Ultra 7) today, in Mist Blue color ;) yaaaayyyyyyyy!
Would you reccomend this laptop or the Zenbook Q425MA for college? I'm not too sure which would be better for me, I want a laptop for basic productivity (web browsing, leisure, etc.) and I don't believe I will have to run any intensive tasks.
Thanks for posting this video
Great review! I never thought the vivobook can get this beautiful
How is it different from the Zenbook 14? Is the built quality different?
Not quite the machine for me but I'm more of a higher tier/higher workload user I'd have to go with your assessment... Seems like a rather solid option for somebody only needing a basic machine and not too picky over glossy screens/fingerprints. Little bit of a discount and it could be into 'steal' territory. Somebody thinking they might want a $600-$700 "sale" laptop come Christmas would do well to have this on their 'watch' list. btw I noticed you 'corrected' yourself and used the proper 'mega transfers' term for RAM speed - Must have been my razzing a few reviews/videos back after noticing you usually use megahertz. :)
Excellent, pro review!!
I'm confused with Asus' product line. Isn't Zenbook their flagship? This seems a better deal than the Zenbook 14 OLED 2024 no matter the iteration. I mean just look at that port selection on the left side, a much better location! Two fans over one. Same OLED screen. Same metal chassis. The tradeoffs, such as the lower frame rate and lower ram, are neglible to get the higher priced Zenbook. What will make me want to get that if I can get an Intel Ultra 9 in a sub 1k price point?
I have been using the Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406HA) for the past week. That is the one with the Ryzen 7. It's a very nice laptop. Very premium feeling except that it's a HUGE fingerprint magnet. I just got this Vivobook that Andrew reviewed here and it seems to be less of a fingerprint magnet. Both the Zenbook and the Vivobook are about the same price. $749 vs $899 respectively. The Zenbook is unfortunately out-of-stock at Walmart.
Great review Andrew. This laptop for $900 has grabbed my attention.
BTW, have you hear much from laptop suppliers about their future support of the Dell developed Compression Attached Memory Module (CAMM) technology that was suppose to allow replaceable DRAM memory in compact laptops? I think one supplier (Lenovo?) has introudced it in a laptop.
The CAMM tech will replace the old DIMM sockets/technology.
Great video. What are your thoughts on the S15 Walmart is selling for 750 with 3k display, 16gb ram, 1tb and ultra 7? S5506
I would have to have hands on time with it to form an opinion.
I ordered that one. Waiting for delivery. Tempted to get this one as well to compare. Coming up!
Dell Inspiron 16 and ASUS Vivobook s16, which would you go for? Price-wise similar.
Hey man i have a question
I heard rumors about zenbook series having problems with their usb c type chargers and using laptop while changing causes dmg to motherboard because of faulty capacitors or something
Do you have any opinions on this?
Fantastic review, Andrew. You're in your own league my man
Thanks
Great review as always Andrew! I still don't understand the reason behind soldering the WiFi card. I don't even support soldering RAM but at least there is a speed advantage when using soldered RAM. Soldering network card on the other hand makes no sense to me.
Was the wifi card soldered? There was no explaining of the inside...
@@markuss3718It is mentioned. Check at 7:16 mark in the video.
Hey AMD. thanks for another great review! Are you able to get your hands on a Lenovo 13x gen 4 for a review? There’s only one unboxing/first impressions video out there - mine. I think you could do a much better, more detailed review that a lot would appreciate. Cheers
Not yet but hopefully soon. In the meantime I will check yours out
is this got heat? after some high work ?
Wonderful review thank you very much for your help. Hope everything is well with you, have yourself a wonderful day
Thanks and same to you my friend!
You are the very best at what you do. P.K.
Are there no 14 or 15 inch model with RAM upgradeability? I can't think of anything this year.
Just got the S15 version of this. How on earth do you change the backlighting on the keyboard? MyAsus doesn't give you the option.
There is something weird with the audio quality when you tested the video camera. The voice was fading when you turned your head left and right.
I've had enough of ASUS when I purchased last 2018 their Vivo Book S14 (S14UN) - the hinge broke, the body was plastic. the screws holding the chassis has plastics only causing disintegration of the threads of the screw. NEVER going back to Asus. Acer is upping their build for aluminum bodies on Swift line up. Acer has now solid build nowadays for the price.
Thanks for this review! Do you know or can you find out if ASUS plans to offer the Ryzen variant in the US?
I will ask Asus
I ordered the AMD version on Thursday, its supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
From which site? Asus site only has Amazon link and points to Intel variant.
How did the 185h outlast the lower powered 155h in battery tests? Intel drivers are messed up?
bruh... it has simply more capacity in power saving as the other one. .
we need a review for expertbook B9 oled .. more size screen .... and 32ram

Hi. Nice review. And what about Asus Vivobook s14 oled AMD version, this year asus give us a choice, AMD or Intel, for Zenbooks and Vivobooks, as for me AMD version with fresh Ryzen 9 8945HS and 32Gb of RAM looks better, and i think battery life will be better and gaming. I'd like to see review on that device and comperasent this two.
Trying to find a 14'' ultra thin Laptop with upgradable RAM and HDD? any suggestions?
my old Vivobook looked great but it dropped horizontally (maybe there was a quite strong hit by my hand on the side but drop minimal basically the base of laptop went off but laptop stayed and dropped 7 cm horizontally) the screen stopped working.
If I compare that to the hits my acer aspire and 2 dells would be getting the screen to stop working is ludicrous. I loved it before that but it showed the build quality and the toughness of it.
Waiting for the envy 360’s review
You’re becoming a mind reader Andrew….this morning I’ve look for this laptop on your channel 🤣
Perfect!
can you review the ASUS Vivobook S 15.6 3k with the ultra 7? I'm really curious about the battery life and it seems like a crazy deal with a 3k oled screen and an ultra 7 for $750 yet I haven't seen a single video on one. I just hope they don't raise the price like they did with this laptop so I can actually get one lol
Boasting an OLED display, 14-inch screen, an Ultra 9 processor, and under $1000 - this laptop seems like a beast on paper! Even better specs than my 2022 Zenbook i5.
Was thinking of getting this, but RAM not upgradable.....
Please have a look at the latest Huawei Mate laptop 🙏🙏
Excellent laptop and great pricing.❤
Greatest review sir. Thanks🎉
Glad you liked it
I think the Asus Vivobook S 15 (so many similar named models) OLED (120Hz, 3K) with Ultra 7 for $749 at Walmart is a much better deal and is a well spec'ed laptop especially under $750. You should review it (S5506).
Can't wait to see this with the new snapdragon chip.
is there any other variant of this? cheaper processor, since shipping and tax is absurd.
and in the website it says that its 120hz ?
I am also having the same doubts. In website there are saying it is 120hz and only works when it is plugged in
I returned the S15 and got this one. Will be testing Forza Horizon 4 with it later today. That game seems to crash on all Core Ultra + ARC graphics laptops including the now-returned Vivobook S 15.
Huh. No crashes! I guess this is a keeper. We need a video comparing the Zenbook 14 OLED with Ryzen to the Vivobook S 14 with the Core Ultra.
This but 16 inches with 32GB ram and they can have my money.
The only thing that changes my mind is what this new Snapdragon Elite X processor looks like in terms of performance and support, and if there's an identical config with that instead of an intel or AMD processor.
I still want a 2560-by-1600 IPS display over this 1920-by-1200 OLED. However, this is a smaller screen. It is not as big of a deal as the VivoBook Pro 15 OLED.
Solid.
Why cant they make 360 laptopp is that that difficult?
What about big Asus Vivobook S 16 OLED?
Waiting on Asus.
Hi Andrew ✌️
Can you review this Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 16AHP9 16" 2K OLED R7-8845HS 16GB/1TB SSD Win11
Its under 1000€ and has a new AMD Processor inside. Maybe i want to buy it, would be cool to see a test from you😁
Keep going love your videos 👍
???
Why get this over the Zenbook 14?
For those that want a Core Ultra 9 in a similar form factor they will choose this.
Is it available in INDIA 🇮🇳
I now have notifications on for your videos, you are comprehensive and consistent. The videos are memorable and actually inform purchasing decisions. The mark of a great reviewer.
Glad you like them!
Am I the only one who can’t stand that lots of laptop keyboard backlights don’t automatically shut off after several seconds? Drives me nuts.
I prefer to have full control over the keyboard backlight. Imagine using it in a dark room while watching a movie, then suddenly the keyboard goes dark. Having to fumble for the right button in the dark is frustrating!
Fair enough. But my point is to have all options. Complete control or auto dim.
I have the vivobook s 16 2024 it auto dims after like a minute.
Nice latop but windows laptop need to take care of heating isuuue i
Meanwhile in Amazon germany the same model is $1700
Nice video. Do you have a list of laptops that don't have a glossy display? I thought pretty much all of them have glossy displays.
it doesn't have fingerprint !
Was going to buy this, but ASUS has lost my trust. Too many people complaining about their service
ASUS QUALITY is poor. My laptop only got 3 years of useful life until its hinge fall apart .
Legit?? i really liked them so far but i havent bought anything but by their pure stats im impressed
The useless test of the day!
🤣🤣🤣
You should maybe mention that the new meteor lake graphics are similar to AMDs 780M to put things in perspective
👍
