Hmm, in the details it says Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, not 285H like in the title or highlights.

That's a mistake on Staples' end. The model number mentioned on their website is S5606CA, and this model, according to Asus' official website, confirms the specs I have mentioned: https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/f.../techspec/

16G not enough for web browser? Maybe the problem is Chrome then.

Idk what you people are doing that 16gb of ram is not enough . It is certainly enough for most ppl . I have a 4060 g14 zephrus with 16gb of ram. I have yet to have an issue . I mostly game, Netflix and browse the internet . I can see in some cases it not being enough, or in the future not being enough. But for 95% of buyers It wouldn't be an issue .

Do yall think this is a good deal? Really prefer getting a 14 inch for portability but I'm torn between this model's equivalents like the 14.
Or, should I get a MBA M4 and have a gaming windows laptop on the side... ugh

The mistake here to begin with is using chrome. Better to firefox or another browser not based on chromium.

Chrome doesn't lag and freeze on 16GB. There's something else going on.

No offense to the OP, or any lucky Asus fans, but FYI / FWIW - Here's my 4/16/2025, Asus Vivobook S 15 review on Best Buy:

I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death. Averaging about 5+ per day!
The Geek Squad "FIXED it" THREE times, but shortly after I got it home, same thing, BSOD!
Sent it into the Asus service center, & when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4-min.
They said the warranty does NOT include any replacements or refunds.

I will never buy another Asus product.
And I will also avoid buying anything from Best Buy.

PS - This is the one I bought:
https://slickdeals.net/f/18095260-asus-vivobook-s-15-15-6-3k-oled-120hz-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370-32gb-lpddr5-1tb-ssd-1299-99?p=175604200&comment=success#post175604200

.

April 25 EDIT: I talked to the Best Buy store manager yesterday, hoping that they could step up & help a loyal customer out. Nope! But he did take this opportunity to tell me that I should have bought their ($180) Total membership plan (within 1 or 2 weeks of purchase), so that I **might** have been eligible for their store credit or exchange. Fk that!

PS - Asus has a D- rating at the Better Business Bureau - Failure to respond to 83 complaint(s) filed against business

For a lot of people like non gamers we usually demand more ram and CPU than you guys because we have tags open and a lot of word excel and coding software. 16gb for single task is ok but definitely not for multi tasking especially if you have a powerful iGPU that eats a lot of ram as vram.

16gb is good if you don't really work on 5 word files reviewing feedbacks and excel and code at the same time such as statistician data scientist economist etc.
