For a balance of performance and portability with a focus on general use and content consumption, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is a strong choice with its higher-end processor and more RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and faster processing speeds. Its OLED screen with a higher pixel density also offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it excellent for everyday viewing and media consumption. However, if you prioritize a larger, higher-resolution display and longer battery life for extended work sessions without charging, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is the way to go, despite its slightly less powerful configuration. The 16-inch model also has a more modern 16:10 aspect ratio, which provides more vertical screen space, beneficial for productivity. Both laptops are not designed for intensive gaming or specialized engineering tasks, but they excel in general productivity and multimedia experiences. Give Feedback

Darragh Murphy | November 2022
"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."
