About this deal

Tested by an independent third-party laboratory according to the ISO 22196 standard (Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces). Alternatively, you can also opt for the slightly larger Vivobook S15 aka model K3502ZA that has virtually identical specifications and the same RM3,999 price tag save for a slightly larger 15.6-inch OLED display. Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users. The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

As of February 24th, 2022 based on internal ASUS market analysis comparing 14’’ Vivobook from vendors including Acer, Apple, HP, Huawei, Lenovo, Microsoft, Dell, and Samsung. Flip the lid open and you’re greeted with a surprisingly substantial setup for what you pay for. The hinge mechanism is relatively smooth and can be opened one-handed while the keyboard itself is fairly standard save for an Esc key coloured in a garish shade of neon orange and the Enter key features a hazard stripe emblazoned across it. The palm rest is also generously sized with a matte finish. Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues. This amendment defines standardised modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control layer (MAC) that enable at least one mode of operation capable of supporting at least four times improvement in the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario, while maintaining or improving the power efficiency per station.

The ASUS Vivobook S14 aka model K3402ZA is part of their budget Vivobook range with an interesting blend of compromises and features that keep it under the RM4,000 mark. Unlike many other competing 14-inch laptops, it has a premium OLED display that offers more vibrant, richer colour rendition than conventional LCD displays along with a full 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut which is a feature critical for content creators. Under a more demanding PCMark 8 Creative profile that throws in content creation tasks, it managed a respectable 4 hours and 53 minutes. Between these two extremes, you’ll generally have enough endurance to last the better part of a work day though the light, compact nature of its bundled 90W USB-C charger makes toting it around and charging it in the field a convenient task. Up to 75% lower latency” is based on Intel simulation data of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using 9 clients. Average latency without OFDM is 36 ms, with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6 ms. Latency improvement requires that the AP and all clients support OFDMA.

In terms of battery life, our Vivobook S14 managed to last close to 8 hours and 35 minutes with a general workload of paperwork, web browsing and the occasional peek at YouTube. Performance claim is based on the Cinebench R20 Multi Core benchmark, comparing the score of Zenbook 14X UX5401ZA tested by ASUS in January 2022 (configured with an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, 16 GB LPDDR5, and a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 SSD) to Zenbook 14X UX5401ZAS (with an Intel Core i5-12500H CPU, 8 GB LPDDR5, and a 512 GB PCIe 3.0 SSD), and Zenbook 14X UX5401EA (with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16 GB LPDDR4x, a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD). Test settings: select Performance mode under Fan profile in MyASUS, and idle the laptop for 30 to 60 seconds prior to running the benchmark under AC mode.Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market. If you’re looking for a compact laptop for general computing duties with the best quality screen available, the Vivobook S14 delivers. With its Intel Evo certified hardware and gorgeous 14-inch OLED display in a compact chassis, it is a worthy choice for students and executives alike seeking a starter laptop. Unfortunately, it’s a bit undergunned for more demanding tasks but it’s an otherwise sound option that edges out for the sheer quality of its display and its charmingly compact dimensions. The top lid is otherwise plain save for a stylised Vivobook badge stamped in the corner and is pleasantly sturdy with minimal flex while the underside panel is secured by pentalobe screws with grilles for ventilation and the downward firing stereo speakers. Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format. This amendment defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control layer (MAC) that enable at least one mode of operation capable of supporting at least four times improvement in the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario, while maintaining or improving the power efficiency per station.

Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emission of blue light in between 415-455 nm wavelength. Out of the box, our ASUS Vivobook S14 review sample comes with the bare basics with the laptop itself as well as a compact USB-C charger and a USB-cable to go with it too. MHz enables 2402 Mbps maximum theoretical data rate, ~3x faster than standard 802.11ac 2x2 80 MHz (867 Mbps) and nearly 6x faster than baseline 1x1ac (433 Mbps) Wi-Fi as documented in IEEE 802.11 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers.

Color Filters, including inverted, grayscale, red-green, and blue-yellow, can be toggled with Windows + Ctrl + C. Contrast themes are toggled with Alt + Left Shift + Print Screen. Standard Dark Mode and custom colors are also available under Personalization. Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List. Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
