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.

Oooh, a 14" version of this under 3lb would really have me looking at my wallet.
Here's a 14" Zenbook for you that fits that bill for the same price.

Close, but just missed with 1920x1200. I'm looking for at least 1600.

The 285h chip isn't strong enough in the NPU department to be labeled as copilot+. I think most ppl now usually use Gemini or chatgpt so that shouldn't matter
I didn't realize the 285H wasn't good for copilot+. I purchased the 285H Costco deal a few months ago instead of the 288V thinking the H was better... Is 288V more optimized for copilot+?

The 285h is faster overall with 16 cores while the 288v is 8 cores. Unless you are using copilot+ often, the 285h is a better chip albeit power hungry.

Not a touchscreen laptop. Purchasers report a problematic backlit keyboard. On paper, the specs look great. I might pull the trigger in a month if the deal is still available

Is this ok for office work? I'm worried that the screen might be too glossy.

Keep in mind that DRAM prices are exploding. PC prices are already skyrocketing, laptop prices are starting to pop as well...

how long did it take for yall to receive the laptop? i typically don't order costco online but estimated delivery date is tomorrow and it hasn't even shipped yet. Costco chat rep has no clue the status of shipment and i can't even cancel or change delivery to my local costco warehouse lol. hope it gets here by sunday since i won't be home all next week. Curious why they put est delivery date when it's not being followed.

It is usually delivered on time for me almost all the time. Always do ship to store if you're buying a big electronics item during a holiday. It is safe and hassle-free from all the known issues.

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.
