Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus Vivobook S OLED 16 S5606WA-MX091W
With its thin and light Cool Silver design, this multimedia-oriented laptop PC certified to the American military resistance standard MIL-STD-810H has an elegant and discreet look.
The connectivity integrated into this versatile laptop is good, including 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a practical HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.
As a webcam with Infrared technology is present, you can authenticate biometrically by facial recognition via Windows Hello technology.
The webcam can be hidden by a privacy shutter when not in use, which is great for preserving privacy.
The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting solution that you just need to activate whenever you need to better distinguish your keys.
The screen represents a definite asset of this configuration because it is both High Definition thanks to its 3.2K definition, much higher than Full HD. But also High Fidelity thanks to its DCI-P3 OLED characteristics guaranteeing much more faithful colorimetry than average, great black depth as well as significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles. But also low latency, here associated with a frequency of 120Hz which provides much better fluidity on a daily basis than a 60Hz panel.
The screen also stands out with its 16:10 format which displays more elements in height than the standard 16:9 format.
Furthermore, the screen is adorned with an anti-reflective coating which is certainly sensitive to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors) but which offers the advantage of brightening the colors.
Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook S OLED 16 S5606WA-MX091W
The Asus Vivobook S OLED 16 S5606WA-MX091W is aimed at those looking for a versatile High Definition High Fidelity nomadic portable PC with high performance multimedia and AI orientation equipped with recent components.
As easy to carry as an Ultrabook because it is thin and light, it may interest some who wish to equip themselves with a Student laptop since it is able to last around 9 hours on battery in light use in terms of autonomy.
However, this laptop delivers good overall power because it is driven by an AMD processor. Strix Point Lake Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with 12 hybrid cores, AI services and integrated Radeon 890M graphics module, supported by 16 GB of RAM.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 reveals its full potential under CPU and RAM-intensive work exploiting multi-core and AI. We are thinking in particular of video editing or photo retouching, areas in which we obtain processing carried out much more quickly than if we were dealing with a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor.
SSD storage also helps provide very fast processing, as well as starts/stops and software launches.
More generally, the SSD improves responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.
Because in addition to being silent, energy efficient and shock resistant, an SSD is fast.
Here we find an SSD whose large capacity of 1000 GB allows you to install and store quantities of applications and files, including personal creations if desired.
Viewing HD photos and videos is of course possible thanks to the Radeon 890M, which can also be used to play light to modest games… subject to concessions. We are clearly thinking of a reduction in screen definition since in 3.2K more graphics calculations are necessary than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
Finally, regarding heating and noise, expect them to be present when this multimedia-oriented laptop PC is pushed hard (eg: processing).
It can be associated with it if necessary ventilated support to contain its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
