This ASUS Vivobook S16 looks like a strong under 1,000 dollar OLED laptop for productivity, with a Core Ultra 9 285H, 32 gigabytes of RAM, a 1 terabyte SSD, and a 120 hertz 2880 by 1800 display. The specs are described as covering most needs, and the Costco warranty adds appeal. The main knocks are the lack of a touchscreen, concern about the glossy OLED finish, and reports of a problematic backlit keyboard. It comes across as a well equipped machine with a few comfort tradeoffs.
Common Questions (5)
No touchscreen is listed for this model. The display is a 16" 2880 x 1800 OLED panel with 120Hz refresh, but it is not a touch display.
It is not labeled Copilot+ because the Core Ultra 9 285H reportedly lacks enough NPU performance for that certification. The chip is still described as faster overall than the 8-core 288V, but it can be more power-hungry.
Yes, the OLED panel is described as glare-prone, so reflections may be noticeable in bright office or daylight use. The upside is a 120Hz OLED display with strong specs, but the glossy finish is a concern for some buyers.
The backlit keyboard is the main complaint, with low reviews centered on it rather than the rest of the system. The light-colored keyboard also may not appeal visually, though it helps hide fingerprints on the laptop body.
At under $1,000 out the door, it is considered a strong spec-for-price deal for a Core Ultra 9 laptop with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and Costco warranty. One shopper also noted the price dropped $50 shortly after ordering, suggesting a price-match may be worth requesting.

Costco is pretty accurate in shipment, but the holiday season can create a 1-2 day delay. It all depends on your zip code and warehouse location.
