    ASUS Vivobook S 16 (M5606); Copilot+ PC
    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.
    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
    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"!

A conversion ratio applies for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users. Limit: 1 per person/account.
    2. The devices referred to on this web page are the most highly-specified models available. Some models and configurations may not have an OLED display option. Please check the product specifications to ensure that the correct type of display is configured before purchasing in-store or online.
    3. The characteristics of an OLED display can eventually change over long periods of use, leading to visible changes. This is completely normal, and can cause behavior such as image burn-in or persistence: this means that a faint ghost of an image remains visible even when it’s replaced by a new image. These effects are more likely to occur if a non-moving (static) high-contrast image is displayed for an excessively long time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimise this risk by setting Windows Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimises the potential for burn-in to maximise the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjusting the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows Settings tool.
    4. Panel spec may vary according to device configuration.
    5. The model shown is for reference purposes only. Actual models may differ.
    6. Update to more AI Experiences requires download of free updates available starting late 2024-2025. Timing varies by device and region.
    7. Screen simulated, subject to change. Copilot in Windows (in preview) is available in select global markets and will be rolled out to additional markets over time. The Copilot key will be available on many new Windows PCs starting in early 2024. When Copilot in Windows is not enabled on the device, pressing the Copilot key will launch Windows Search See aka.ms/WindowsAIFeatures
    1. Product weight may vary according to device configuration.
    2. The figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual performance may vary in real-world situations.
    3. Battery durability and charging speed will vary depending on usage.
    4. The visual appearance of OLED displays may change over the product’s lifetime. This is expected behavior that can include image persistence or burn-in, where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This tends to occur only in extreme use cases, such as when a static, high-contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimise this risk by setting Windows’s Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimises the potential for burn-in to maximise the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjust the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows Settings tool.
    5. Maximum SSD capacity may vary according to device configuration.
    6. Maximum RAM capacity may vary according to device configuration.
    7. Screen simulated, subject to change. Copilot in Windows (in preview) is rolling out gradually within the latest update to Windows 11 in select global markets. Timing of availability varies by device and market. Copilot key feature availability varies by market. Learn more: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/copilot-ai-features?r=1#faq
    8. The component placement is for reference only, and may vary by model and configuration.
    9. This data is derived from ASUS laboratory testing, which involves simulating daily charging frequency as the testing standard. The actual lifespan of the battery may differ depending on factors such as product configuration, usage patterns, operational conditions, and power management settings. Over time, the battery’s longevity will naturally decrease. For more comprehensive information, please refer to the provided link. http://www.stzgcm.com/support/faq/1051114
    10. Fast Charging Technology is tested while the device is powered off with the default adapter included with the device. Charging time may vary +/- 10% due to system tolerance.
    11. Average tested result in MyASUS Splendid Display P3 and sRGB colour gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.
    12. Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emission of blue light in between 415-455 nm wavelength.
    13. To further maximise the protection of your OLED laptop, ASUS has included OLED Care settings such as pixel refresh and pixel shifting, which are turned on by default. It’s important to note that if any burn-in issues do occur within the warranty period, which might vary by countries, ASUS offers a free exchange service for the affected OLED laptop as long as the user did not manually turn off the OLED Care functions.
    14. Touchpad is 40% larger compared to ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED K5504.
    15. I/O ports might vary according to specifications.
    16. The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.
    17. Battery tests conducted by ASUS on January 23, 2024 using the 1080p Video Playback scenario. Test configuration: Vivobook S 14 OLED (M5406UA), OLED panel, AMD R9-8945HS, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM , 75 Wh battery. Test settings: WiFi disabled, Windows Power Plan set to Balanced, display brightness set to 150 cd/m2. Actual battery life may vary depending on product configuration, usage, operational conditions and power management settings. Battery life will decrease over the lifetime of the battery.
    18. Functionality may vary according to device configuration. For specific information on how Memory Allocations Management operates with your product configuration, please refer to http://www.stzgcm.com/support/faq/105179.
    19. Model M5606 RGB single-zone keyboard lighting can fully supports the Solid Colour, Breathing, Rainbow effects of Windows Dynamic Lighting. Learn more at http://www.stzgcm.com/support/faq/1051652.
