We’ve reviewed theASUS Vivobook 15 S OLED(albeit the upgraded version with an i7 processor) and gave it a mightily impressed 4.5-star score from a possible five. Our reviewer was particularly impressed with the display.
He wrote: “The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED (2023) is an excellent laptop. Its OLED display is sublime, offering vibrancy and deep blacks.”
“The design may be a little uninspiring by comparison to other laptops at this price and a little higher, but what’s here is functional, including a comfortable and tactile keyboard and trackpad, and decent port selection.”
