    ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED in-depth review

    The ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED (TP3402) is a compact 2-in-1 laptop that is offered with powerful (optional) Intel Alder or Raptor Lake-H processors. The top dog for the series is the Intel Core i9-13900H. That sounds mouthwatering for a thin and light transformer. On the other hand, these 45W chips dissipate a lot of heat and that's why you'll find an ASUS IceCool cooling system with two decently sized heat pipes and a fluid-dynamics bearing fan.

This will bring down the end price and (perhaps) it'll also positively affect the battery life.As always, when it comes to such a notebook, the main event is the 360-degree hinge and the display. The panel here is an OLED touch unit with a 2880 x 1800 resolu[...]
