We received the Asus Vivobook S 14 Flip 2-in-1 laptop with a 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 7530U CPU clocked at 4.3 GHz. The device we received was in Serenity Blue. We tested it to see if it worked as expected, and here’s what we found.

ASUS Vivobook 15 review | Great display and keyboard, improved audio qualityThe ASUS Vivobook S 14 Flip has an all-aluminum body and a sleek look – the quiet blue color looks particularly attractive. The Vivibook logo badge on the lid is eye-catching and gives the device a unique look. The phone’s screen-to- body ratio is as high as 85%, giving it a high-end feel. Overall, the build quality of the phone is good, and the 18mm thickness feels heavy in the hand. However, the 14-inch all-metal body weighs 1.5 kg and feels heavy when used in tablet mode.
The laptop comes with two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports and 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, one on each side. The charging port, HDMI 2.0 port, and 3.5mm combo audio jack are on the right side. The ports are conveniently placed and we had no issues using them.
The Full HD 3DNR webcam comes with a privacy shutter that’s located in the top bezel so it doesn’t intrude on the screen. The screen itself feels compact and flush with the body. Exclusive to the 16GB version, the fingerprint sensor is located within the power button for easy access. It was pretty accurate – it only took a few attempts to unlock the device when we tried the sensor with dirty fingers, but it was enough to unlock it with the face sensor.
Stereo speakers are placed at either end of the bottom panel.
exhibitVivobook S 14 Flip features a 14-inch WUXGA 1920X1200 IPS touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass. The 16:10 aspect ratio and narrow bezels are highly recommended on a device with a screen-to-body ratio of 85%. Peak brightness is 300 nits , and we had no issues using it. The device is used for transmitting content, reading or lighting design work in a bright room. In outdoor settings, though, the 300 nits of brightness really makes itself felt. But although it’s not very good, it’s still usable.
Overall, we had no issues and enjoyed using the device for content viewing, day-to-day work, and light gaming.
The touch screen functions well too and is very responsive when used with your fingers. However, the performance of the pressure-sensitive stylus was less than impressive. We had to constantly check the angle at which the stylus was touching the screen to make sure it was accurate. This seems to be more of an issue with the stylus than the display, which we love so much, though.
PerformanceAs we mentioned, the Vivibook 14 S Flip comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 7530U CPU. The CPU is 6-core, clocked at 4.3 GHz and supports 16GB RAM DDR4 RAM and 512GB PCLe Gen 3 SSD. The laptop also comes with AMD Radeon graphics The machine is more than adequate for daily use, and we didn’t experience any lag or performance degrada easily charge from 0 to 80% in two hours, despite constant use.
The device comes with WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. Internet connectivity speeds are good, and the Bluetooth was easily able to pick up devices for connection.
VerdictThe Asus Vivobook 14 S Flip, with its good specifications, great build quality and performance ticks all the right boxes for a convertible device in its segment. Though it does suffer from some of the usual Asus shortcomings like weak speaker and stylus performance, we did not feel like these were deal breakers.
tion even after extended use. The noise from the internal fans is also muted, and you can only hear them when pushing the system hard. Even so, they sound more like a background hum than the fans on other convertible laptops we’ve tested. The backlit keyboard is also up to par. We found that the keys with 1.4mm travel and 19mm pitch provide good feedback and good spacing. 129X73mm touchpad is responsive and easy to use. We wish there was more feedback from the buttons on the lower end of the touchpad, but the experience is still good.
The Full HD camera is also great for video calls and meetings. However, the speaker performance isn’t great. We found ourselves needing headphones to use content on our laptop with the window air conditioner on.
Batteries and connectionsThe battery capacity of the Vivobook 14 S Flip is 50Wh, which is enough to support 5 to 6 hours of content usage, multiple browser tabs, and simultaneous video playback. The charging speed is also good and the device can easily charge from 0 to 80 % in two hours, despite constant use.
The device comes with WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. Internet connectivity speeds are good, and the Bluetooth was easily able to pick up devices for connection.
