Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users. ISO 22196:2011 specifies a method of evaluating the antibacterial activity of antibacterial-treated plastics, and other non-porous, surfaces of products (including intermediate products). If you’re looking for a compact laptop for general computing duties with the best quality screen available, the Vivobook S14 delivers. With its Intel Evo certified hardware and gorgeous 14-inch OLED display in a compact chassis, it is a worthy choice for students and executives alike seeking a starter laptop. Unfortunately, it’s a bit undergunned for more demanding tasks but it’s an otherwise sound option that edges out for the sheer quality of its display and its charmingly compact dimensions.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems. MHz enables 2402 Mbps maximum theoretical data rate, ~3x faster than standard 802.11ac 2x2 80 MHz (867 Mbps) and nearly 6x faster than baseline 1x1ac (433 Mbps) Wi-Fi as documented in IEEE 802.11 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers. Alternatively, you can also opt for the slightly larger Vivobook S15 aka model K3502ZA that has virtually identical specifications and the same RM3,999 price tag save for a slightly larger 15.6-inch OLED display. Flip the lid open and you’re greeted with a surprisingly substantial setup for what you pay for. The hinge mechanism is relatively smooth and can be opened one-handed while the keyboard itself is fairly standard save for an Esc key coloured in a garish shade of neon orange and the Enter key features a hazard stripe emblazoned across it. The palm rest is also generously sized with a matte finish.

Performance claim is based on the Cinebench R20 Multi Core benchmark, comparing the score of Zenbook 14X UX5401ZAS tested by ASUS in January 2022 (configured with an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, 16 GB LPDDR5, and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD) to Zenbook 14X UX5401ZA (with an Intel Core i5-12500H CPU, 8 GB LPDDR5, and a 512 GB PCIe 3.0 SSD), and Zenbook 14X UX5401EA (with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16 GB LPDDR4x, a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD). Test settings: select Performance mode under Fan profile in MyASUS, and idle the laptop for 30 to 60 seconds prior to running the benchmark under AC mode. Up to 75% lower latency” is based on Intel simulation data of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using 9 clients. Average latency without OFDM is 36 ms, with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6 ms. Latency improvement requires that the AP and all clients support OFDMA. The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Comment

This amendment defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control layer (MAC) that enable at least one mode of operation capable of supporting at least four times improvement in the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario, while maintaining or improving the power efficiency per station.

ASUS Antibacterial Guard is applied on the laptop areas that users touch most frequently, including the palm rest area, keyboard, and touchpad (or ASUS NumberPad). The compact Vivobook S14 laptop is also one of the enviable few thus far in the market with an Intel Evo rating which certifies that it meets Intel’s rigorous guidelines for an ultraportable including long battery life, fast start-up times, fast charging and a battery of other demanding criteria. Unfortunately, it’s a bit undergunned for more demanding tasks but it’s an otherwise sound option that edges out for the sheer quality of its display and its charmingly compact dimensions.
