| Product Name: | ASUS VivoBook S 14X OLED Laptop, 14.5" OLED Display 2.8K 16:10 120Hz HDR, Intel Evo Platform, Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home, Midnight Black, S5402ZA-IS74 |
| Product Description: | Pros: Be sure to actually set refresh rate in Windows to 120Hz it's not enabled on first boot out-of-the-box. After enabled - Can tell instantly 120Hz OLED is AMAZING! Pixel shift option to prevent OLED burn-in is enabled by default though so that's good. Can be toggled in Asus manager app. Also a good idea to set max charge to 80% in Asus manager app to preserve battery health. Minimum bloatware just uninstall McAfee and uninstall Office 365 free trial if you're opting out of those, and it's pretty much a clean install - LOVE IT. USB-C Charge is super convenient, and if you are planning to plug in at a desk just get a USB-C to ethernet + displayport hub/dock if you need it. Or get one of the newer monitors that has USB-C hub + charge features. Fingerprint reader on the power button is easy to set up with Windows login. Works great! Cons: 8GB of the ram is supposedly soldered to the motherboard, so only one slot of the ram is swappable / upgradable, but the 12GB total it comes with is fine to start out with, but keep that in mind if you're looking to upgrade you'll swap for a single 16GB to get up to 24GB. Pretty sure. Overall Review: 120Hz OLED in a laptop for under $1000! This is crazy awesome! |

I bought this during CM and here are some general and performance tips:
If paying via Affirm, the pay-off option will appear after a couple of days in the Affirm app. Initially it says "processing".
RAM is upgradable to 40GB. Adding 32GB of SO-DIMM (DDR4-3200, CL22) and changing the following settings bumped my Geekbench scores to 1701 / 9275 (single-core/multi-core):
Settings>System>Power & battery>Best performance
In MyASUS app: Fan Profile > Performance mode
HDD is also removable (upgradable). For example, upgrading to SAMSUNG 980 Pro PCle 4.0 NVMe M.2 provided another performance boost on HDD benchmarks. HDD heatsink is built-in on the mainboard.
OLED display is bright and sharp. Native resolution is almost unreadable (texts too small), so change fonts to 150% (recommended default option, I believe).
Battery life depends on usage and performance modes (see above). I changed them back to battery-optimized modes after running the benchmark tests. I'll probably get 6 hours when browsing the web under battery-optimized settings. Setting to performance modes will severely drain battery that's for sure. If battery life is a major concern, please skip this and look for an M1 Macbook (Air or Pro) for around $799 or $899; these have 16 - 20 hrs of battery life.
Fan noise is noticeable under Performance mode and very quiet in Whisper mode.
This Asus has a backlit keyboard. And don't forget to update the firmware using the included MyAsus app.
Wear an anti-static strap (cheap on Amazon) when working on upgrading the laptop; components are even more cramped than my 7-year-old laptop this is replacing. Otherwise, sparks will fly if you drop a screw (with battery still attached ).

I got the 16GB Ram 1 TB ram SSD version
1. Trackpad is slightly too big / far to the right for me and can click when you pick up the laptop while open from the left side. Wish the track pad was more to the left slightly.
2. Reverb on left speaker can be created from some sound combinations. A piece of electrical tape inside the MB on the speaker fixes this.
Pros: Whisper mode is SILENT - love it, performance is great, though haven't super stressed it yet. Smart charge to 60% while plugged in is a plus, quality feel, OLED screen is vibrant, and it feels SOLID but is still light.
Plus it has a fullsize hdmi port, 2x usbc, and usb a and headphone mic jack.

I ended up buying it from Costo for the extra warranty and easy ability to return if I end up not liking it. Also, no love lost for Newegg for past shenanigans.
The main reason I bought this was price, positive reviews for the screen, powerful CPU, ability to upgrade RAM and HD. Negatives are generally heat and fan noise but that those issues can be mitigated with configuration. I don't need or want a touchscreen so that wasn't a factor for me.
