The ASUS R410MA is a budget-friendly option with a lower price point, making it suitable for general use like web browsing, word processing, and light multitasking. Its portability is a strong point due to its lightweight design and decent battery life, ideal for on-the-go tasks. However, its performance is limited by the Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM, which may struggle with more demanding applications. The screen, while not the most vibrant or high-resolution, will suffice for basic tasks. It lacks advanced features like a touchscreen, high refresh rate, or extensive color coverage, which might not be ideal for media consumption or color-critical work. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers a significant performance boost with its Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 8GB of RAM, catering well to more intensive tasks such as gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning. The OLED display provides vibrant colors and deep blacks, enhancing the visual experience for media consumption and creative work. It also has a higher resolution and refresh rate, which is beneficial for smoother visuals and more detailed images. The laptop is slightly heavier but still maintains a good balance between performance and portability. It includes more advanced features like an OLED screen, faster refresh rate, and better color accuracy, making it suitable for users who need a machine for both work and entertainment. In summary, if you prioritize portability and cost over performance and screen quality, the ASUS R410MA is a reasonable choice for everyday tasks. However, if you're looking for a more powerful machine with a superior display for more demanding tasks and better overall visual experience, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is the way to go, despite its higher price and slightly reduced portability.

Matthew Buzzi | August 2021
"The Asus Laptop L410 is a super-affordable PC, even among budget notebooks, compromising on the display and processing power to deliver a serviceable Windows machine with good battery life and useful ports. The build is reasonably solid, there’s a good mix of ports, battery life is long enough, and it can perform basic everyday tasks. On the flip side, the screen is poor, anything other than basic tasks is a tough ask, and it has little memory and even less storage."

"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
