1st of all, 12700H is going to be power restricted here compared to full sized gaming laptops which can push 90W+ in CU only workloads. As per the various reviews and platform videos I have seen, this can push maximum of 60-65W to the CPU. Since this has a large 70 WHr battery, I think 6 to 7 hours with light usage in 40% brightness is a good estimation.
Not a bad deal, but not excellent though.

The trade off is probably 30% max multicore performance vs cooler, quieter, better battery life, and better gaming

And now regarding the DDR4 vs DDR5, the SODIMM DDR5 4800 MHz doesn't provide performance edge over DDR4 3200, part from the integrated Graphics section, even in far more superior Desktop processors. There are plenty reviews available DDR4 vs DDR5 for Alder Lake, go check those out.
regarding your another guess of cooler and silent system, again that is wrong. ZenBook is very slim and has a single fan inside it to cool the 1240P and in fact in load, it actually becomes very loud. ViVoBook 14 S has a better 2 heatpipe and 2 fan based cooling solution, resulting cooler temp and less fan noise. Battery life, is more or less same because in normal operations, where the CPU is set to Balanced or Silent mode, the Power to the CPU is limited to similar value.

Believe what you want, just don't lie to other members to boost your "deals". Base on the number of thumb downs I guess no one buys your BS either

This model I posted here has exact same cooling inside and doesn't even gave the dedicated GPU.

You are basing your "research" on owning a completely different model laptop with a much cooler processor
I have enough of your BS. With all the thumb downs, I don't think anyone is gonna be fooled by you and that's all I cared about.

Unlike regular VivoBooks of recent generations, these Pros are a little chunkier and heavier, but they also get much faster hardware specs, superior thermal designs, larger batteries, and OLED screens with excellent image quality, contrast, and colors. This way, Asus targets these VivoBook Pros at creators and professionals looking for a versatile multi-purpose laptop on a mid-range budget.
The 2021 S14 has the same single fan cooling of the Zenbook 14. I doubt that's changed for 2022.

VivoBook S 14 is the premium ViVoBook this year, replacing the 2021 VivoBook Pro 14. Go and check if you can find a Pro 14X for 2022.
As I suggested, use a bit research instead of pure guess work.

What I am trying to say is that this is not the normal cheap ViviBook S14/15 or K series laptop (Some of those even have OLED) which use normal U or P series Processors and come with vey low end GPU, if any and very moderate cooling solution.
This model is basically replacing the last year's VivoBook Pro 14/14X with VivoBook S 14/14X. S14 and S 14 are actually different series.
And performance wise, this is similar to the ZenBook Pro 14X Space edition and better than the normal ZenBook 14 OLED series.
The the disassembly video below for a 2022 ZenBook 14 OLED showing the internal cooling solution.
https://youtu.be/CEoV3xEYYww?t=3
Now check the cooling solution for VivoBook S 14/14X
https://youtu.be/ZoZZBId-zm4?t=341
That above video also compared it with the 2021 normal budget VivoBook S14 series and you can see how improved the cooling is in the 2022 version.
I think the confusion started when I was replying to the other guy who was arguing why VivoBook pro is the only Ultrabook where other ultrabooks can't and I simply replied that that depends upon the size, thickness and cooling solution and there can't be any logic that if one can't handle the heat implying a different one can't as well and gave the example of last year's VivoBook pro 14/14X with H series CPU and RTX 3050 Ti Graphics.
