LaptopMedia.com Repere ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED (TN3402) - Top 5 Pros and Cons

De la: Severin Kolakov 11 Decembrie 2022 / 18:00 0

Vivobooks are quietly becoming some of the most popular laptops that ASUS offers. The company pairs great designs with decent hardware and features, all of that for a good price, so it’s no wonder they’re selling a good amount of units.

Today we have a 14-inch convertible from the Vivobook brand, which also comes with really strong hardware from last year’s Ryzen 5000H-series. Choosing these CPUs is quite smart, as you’re getting very similar performance to the new 6000H-series, but you’re also able to lower the overall price of the notebook, as the 5000H-series isn’t in big demand right now. The only thing you’re missing out on is the integrated RDNA 2 graphics, but if you’re not going to play that many games, the older Vega-based units will still be alright.

Today we’re presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED (TN3402).

4 reasons to BUY the ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED (TN3402)

1. Design and build quality

The Vivobook uses aluminum for its lid, while the base is made from plastic. However, the laptop feels quite nice in the hand. There are a lot of small details that overall make the laptop feel interesting. The lid has something like a protruding plaque with the ASUS Vivobook brand. The front of the lid, on the other hand, is protected by glass. This makes it quite durable and resistant to flex. We’d go as far as to say that it’s stronger than the base. That said, the base is still fairly rigid, as even with harsh typing, the keyboard deck doesn’t bend. In terms of dimensions, the Vivobook keeps itself pretty light, despite the 45W processors, weighing only 1.50 kg and having a profile of 18.9 mm.

2. Display quality

The 16:10 14-inch OLED panel is the star of the show here, coming with a 2.8K resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. An OLED panel ensures excellent visibility in both dark and well-lit environments. The viewing angles are very good, and the display reaches up to 357 nits of brightness. Since OLED panels light up each pixel on its own, black colors are essentially turned off pixels, which results in an infinite contrast ratio. You also get 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage, so you can tackle any type of professional color work.

The panel is quite accurate on its own, delivering a dE value of 1.3 in the DCI-P3 gamut and 1.2 in the sRGB gamut. Here are the results of our test.

Here is our teardown video, which shows how to upgrade the ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED.

4. Input devices

First of all, the lid opens smoothly with one hand, which generally attests to good build quality. Once opened, we’re exposed to the base, and we see the keyboard, with a power button that doubles as a fingerprint reader. The board has good key travel, considering the thin profile, and clicky feedback, so typing is comfortable. The touchpad has symbols in the upper right and left corners. These activate the NumberPad and the Calculator app, respectively. The pad is smooth and responsive, but we’d expect nothing else.

Inside the box, you’ll also find an ASUS pen along with plastic tips and a Type-C to Type-A cable.

1 reason NOT to buy the ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED (TN3402)

1. I/O

The laptop doesn’t have the best I/O, but it’s still fairly good, as you get two USB Type-A ports. However, one of them runs at 2.0 speeds, so you should leave it for a mouse or other peripheral. There’s also an audio jack, one Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, and an HDMI 2.0 connector.
