ASUS Vivobook S 16 (M5606)
Video reviews
This laptop has performed really well during my usage - for lightweight 4K video editing on CapCut and Premier Pro as well. I've also done a little bit of lightweight gaming and I have to say it does very well in terms of performance.
With so many improvements, I believe this is where the AMD Ryzen AI chip shines the brightest in this category of laptops. Both its CPU and integrated GPU performance are magnificent for 1080p gaming. It far surpassed my expectations, honestly.
Best tech we reviewed for "2024"!
The ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED is a modern notebook with a new design for 2024. It’s particularly interesting for its performance with the AMD Ryzen 8040 Series processor, such as the Ryzen 7 8845HS. It comes with powerful capabilities and an XDNA Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for specialized AI tasks. Additionally, it has been developed to work with the Copilot feature, which includes a dedicated button for Microsoft’s AI on the Windows 11 operating system. This supports both work and entertainment
