The shift from x86 architecture to ARM architecture raises the question of whether it will transform how we use laptops. Let’s find out.
DESIGN AND BUILD
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is a sleek 15.6-inch laptop with a durable aluminium body that not only ensures a robust build quality but also enhances its overall aesthetics. It even has a slim form factor and lightweight construction; the laptop is for those individuals with an active lifestyle. Its sturdy construction is completed by a reliable hinge system that makes the laptop lid easily open and close.
The laptop has a full-fledged keyboard with numeric keypads and comfortable key spacing, making it easy to type without error. The trackpad on this model is slightly larger than the usual ASUS laptop trackpads, but it is slightly offset to the left, which may require some time to get used to. Additionally, the Vivobook S 15 OLED comprises an array of connectivity options, including traditional USB ports, USB Type-C, HDMI, and a microSD card reader, providing convenient connectivity for users who frequently require these options.
DISPLAY
One of the standout features of the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is its stunning 15.6-inch OLED display with 2880 x 1620 pixels. The OLED panel always delivers vibrant colours, deep blacks, and exceptional contrast ratios which is the same on the ASUS Vivobook S 15 laptop. Watching movies, editing photos, or working on creative projects make it more appealing to watch on it. The display also supports a wide colour gamut and high dynamic range (HDR), making it ideal for content creators who require accurate colour reproduction. The thin bezels around the screen gives more immersive viewing experience and also decrease the overall size of the laptop.
