Using the webcam's Windows Hello and Infrared features, you can authenticate yourself biometrically using facial recognition.

The chiclet keyboard is equipped with a backlighting solution. When activated, you can see the keys better.

The screen represents the major asset of this laptop PC since it is both 2.8K High Definition (higher than Full HD) and High Fidelity. It benefits from DCI-P3 OLED characteristics involving much higher colorimetric accuracy than average, very deep blacks as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. But also low latency which is here coupled with the refresh rate of 120Hz which provides better fluidity in use than a standard 60Hz panel.
Due to its OLED technology, the screen is adorned with a glossy coating which gives punch to the colors but is sensitive to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors).

Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED S5506NA-DRMA018W

The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED S5506NA-DRMA018W may appeal to those who wish to acquire a thin and light versatile 15-inch High Definition High Fidelity nomadic laptop with high performance in terms of multimedia-oriented processor.

As it is thin and light, this laptop is as easy to carry as an Ultrabook. Some wishing to equip themselves with a Student laptop High Definition High Fidelity may be of interest because its autonomy is around 7 hours on battery in light use.

However, this laptop delivers solid general performance that will satisfy a maximum of users.
Because it is driven by an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS Hexa Core Rembrandt Refresh processor which houses the Radeon 660M graphics module, supported by 16 GB of RAM.

This core will be of interest to creators since it performs multimedia processing more quickly than if we were dealing with a Quad Core, particularly for work requiring CPU and RAM resources using multi-core. This is for example the case in photo editing or video editing.

No graphics acceleration of processing here, however, since no dedicated graphics card is on board.
However, thanks to the Radeon 660M you can watch HD photos and videos.

You can even consider playing light games if you agree to adjustments such as reducing the screen definition. Because a greater number of calculations are necessary in 2.8K than in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

You can obviously pair this laptop with an external storage device, preferably USB 3.0/USB-C, if you need extra space.

Still, the SSD supports the heart of this computer well since it clearly improves responsiveness and fluidity.
Thanks to the SSD, starts/stops, processing and application launches are particularly fast.

Because an SSD is fast. And offers other advantages: robust design, silent operation and even low energy consumption.

As for heating and noise, expect them to be present when this High Definition High Fidelity laptop is pushed hard.
If necessary, we can associate it with a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
