The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is a solid choice for those seeking vibrant visuals and smooth performance in a midrange package. Its OLED screen offers exceptional color accuracy and contrast, making it ideal for media consumption and tasks that benefit from a high-quality display. The laptop's Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Intel Arc 8-core GPU provide ample power for general use and light gaming or creative work. However, its battery life is average, and it may not be the best for intensive engineering tasks or high-end gaming due to its more modest GPU. It's portable enough for everyday carry, with a decent selection of ports, including USB-C with charging capabilities. The keyboard is comfortable for typing, and the inclusion of a fingerprint reader adds a layer of security. While it doesn't have the most powerful hardware for demanding tasks, it strikes a balance between performance, portability, and price, making it suitable for students and professionals who prioritize a quality display and general computing prowess.

"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."
