Asus, a leading name in the realm of computing technology, has recently unveiled its latest offerings in the laptop market – the Asus Vivobook S series and the Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406). These cutting-edge laptops not only boast stunning OLED displays but also run on the most advanced AMD and Intel processors, promising users an unparalleled computing experience.
The highlight of these new laptops lies in their ability to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) through the incorporation of AI-capable chips. These chips are equipped with neural processing units specially designed to handle AI tasks with ease, resulting in improved power efficiency and enhanced performance across various domains such as gaming, multitasking, and content editing.
The Vivobook S series comprises a lineup of versatile laptops available in different sizes, ranging from 14 to 16 inches.

The 14-inch Vivobook S model stands out with its 120Hz OLED panel, offering smoother scrolling, while the larger variants boast 3.2K displays, ensuring an immersive viewing experience.
On the other hand, the Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406) comes equipped with the formidable AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor. While it may have a slightly lower refresh rate of 60Hz compared to the Vivobook S series, it still delivers impressive performance. However, it’s worth noting that unlike the Vivobook series, the Zenbook lacks a microSD card reader.
In terms of connectivity, both the Vivobook S series and the Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406) offer a comprehensive range of ports, including USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1 (TMDS) port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack, ensuring seamless connectivity with various devices and peripherals. Moreover, all laptops are equipped with Dolby Atmos support, delivering immersive audio experiences.
One notable feature of these laptops is the inclusion of Asus’ ErgoSense keyboards, which not only provide a comfortable typing experience but also come with customizable RGB lighting. This feature, typically found in gaming keyboards, adds a touch of personalization to the user experience, making these laptops stand out in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
For those interested in acquiring these state-of-the-art devices, pricing details have been revealed. The Vivobook S series starts at $749 and is available for purchase at Walmart, offering consumers an affordable yet powerful computing solution.
