Through the years, I’ve become much pickier when it comes to choosing a laptop. What was once just a device used for working while at a coffee shop has turned into a full-time all-around gadget. My laptop is now my loyal work buddy, my entertainment hub, my communication channel, and my means to bond with my daughter – in a nutshell, my lifeline.

Because of this, it has been so important to me to have a checklist whenever a new laptop needs to enter our lives. If you’re looking for an all-around laptop that will stand the test of time, you might want to check out the Vivobook S 15 OLED. Here’s why.

7 Reasons Why the Vivobook S 15 OLED Should Be Your Next Laptop

It’s easy to bring wherever you go.

If you tend to bring your laptop everywhere so you can work and play on the go, you’ll love the fact that the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED (K3502) only weighs 1.8kg. Not only is it lightweight, but it is ultra-thin, too, so you (and your arms) won’t have to worry about bringing a heavy device with you. Its sleek form fits neatly into most spacious bags and it looks great, too. Its unique colors and modern logo design on the lid look cool yet professional at the same time, fitting perfectly into any scenario.

It’s a joy to watch movies and play games on.

If you watch movies and/or play video games on your laptop, then you’ll want a smooth visual experience, am I right? Well, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED can reach a 120 Hz refresh rate to ensure that. What’s more, it has an ultra-fast 0.2 ms response time, which is actually 50 times faster than your average LCD laptop display!

Enjoy low-latency gameplay and smooth, fast-paced binge-watching alongside a Harman Kardon-certified audio system – the perfect audio and visual collaboration for immersive gameplay and entertainment.

It’s a joy to work on, as well.

If your job requires you to work with graphics or videos, you’re sure to appreciate the exceptional details and realistic videos of the Vivobook S 15 OLED. Thanks to its cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, colors are richer and more vivid on this laptop, making it a great choice when working on projects that are particularly color-intensive.

Despite being light in weight, the Vivobook S 15 OLED actually features a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 12700H processor to ensure that it can keep up with your work demands and provide optimum performance. Need to render images or work on several projects at once? No problem! You can do various tasks in parallel with the Vivobook S 15 OLED without any problems.

If you tend to have a lot of online meetings, ASUS knows how important voice quality is for efficient and clear communication. Because of this, the Vivobook S 15 OLED uses ASUS AI Noise-Canceling technology to ensure you can always hear and be heard clearly. You can choose from four modes, depending on the scenario you’re in. My personal must-use is the Single Presenter mode. If you need to take a call in a public space or live in an area where dogs bark or tricycles pass by in the background, this mode effectively filters out all ambient noise except human voices. How cool is that?

The Vivobook S 15 OLED also uses ASUS IceCool thermal technology, so you won’t have to worry about your laptop overheating, even if you work (and play and watch series) all day, every day.

It has a lot of ports.

I don’t know about you, but having a lot of ports is sooooo important to me. I need a port for my mic, my keyboard, my mouse, my hard drive… you name it. Fortunately, the Vivobook S 15 OLED has a looooot of ports to ensure you don’t have any trouble with connectivity whatsoever.

It has two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, a standard HDMI 2.0 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and an audio combo jack.

It’s so easy to transfer files.

Transferring files is such a breeze with the Vivobook S 15 OLED. Just link your device to it, tap on the share icon, and a link will be sent to the other device and open automatically. Looking to transfer your files from your old laptop? You can use ASUS Switch on MyASUS to quickly synchronize data and even system settings from your old laptop to the new one.

It’s safer on the eyes.

Whether you worry about blue light because you’re working all day, want to sleep better, or have kids who watch movies with you on your laptop; the OLED panel of the Vivobook S 15 OLED emits 70% less harmful blue light than LCD panels.

It is also certified by TUV Rheinland for low blue light and flicker-free. What’s more, ASUS OLED laptops calibrate the spectrum to ensure that color accuracy remains uncompromised.

It is likely to last longer than other laptops.

We’ve all experienced it: the slow death of a laptop. That moment you realize your laptop is getting slower, looking older, and simply isn’t aging well. ASUS OLED laptops have the ASUS OLED Care that takes steps for burn-in prevention, such as dimming the screen after five minutes of not being in use to protect the OLED screen.

As mentioned earlier, the Vivobook S 15 OLED also has a great cooling system that maintains the laptop’s temperature at a certain level while in use. An ASUS-exclusive algorithm also accurately calculates the CPU’s power consumption output needs for optimal power efficiency.

Battery health is another important feature for heavy laptop users. The Vivobook S 15 OLED has a Battery Health Charging feature that comes in three modes: Full Capacity, which allows the battery to charge to 100%; Balanced, which allows it to charge to 80% and preserve battery quality; and  Maximum Lifespan, which enables it to charge to only 60% to maximize battery longevity.

So, there, you have it. If you’re in need of a new laptop, the Vivobook S 15 OLED offers everything you could possibly need for both work and play! Check it out today!
