Expert tester comments
The ASUS Vivobook S14 is a standard laptop with plenty of grunt for common office and multimedia tasks, in a form factor that is reasonably sleek, and which features a very good screen. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
