日本ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED (TP3402) review – a 2-in-1 with a Stunning OLED Display
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

Expectedly, the optional Core i9-13900H is a serious challenge for the cooling here. Still, the frequencies in short and medium loads are more than acceptable for snappy performance. In long loads, the clocks and the power limits reach the official base values which is okay for a light 2-in-1 14-incher.
Comfort during full load
When the fan profile is set to “Performance mode”, the noise is average (if the CPU is heavily stressed for a long time). In this case, the keyboard doesn’t feel too hot to the touch so you can use it comfortably for work. The fan can be almost dead-silent in light loads if you apply the “Whisper” preset.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. The 50Wh battery pack lasts for 12 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing or 8 hours and 20 minutes of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the “Balanced” preset in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and select the “Standard” fan mode in the MyASUS app. You also have to turn off the “AI Noise Canceling for the speakers and microphone and use the “Dynamic refresh rate” option.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
