ASUS has announced the release of the Vivobook S 14 (S5406SA) in Singapore, a powerful yet ultra-light 14-inch laptop built to optimise productivity and entertainment for those on the go. Powered by Intel’s latest AI-enabled Core Ultra processors, this new Vivobook offers high-end design, functionality, and user-friendly features.
Slim, lightweight design with high-performance power
The Vivobook S 14 is impressively slim, measuring just 1.39 cm in thickness and weighing only 1.3 kg. It features an all-metal chassis that combines portability and durability in a minimalist design. Equipped with Intel’s advanced Core Ultra processors from the Series 2 range, this Intel Evo-certified laptop offers up to 35 watts of thermal design power (TDP) and a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for efficient performance in AI-driven applications.
With up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, users can experience seamless multitasking and rapid file access, making this device ideal for both professional and personal tasks. ASUS’s IceCool cooling system, featuring dual heat pipes and IceBlade fans, ensures the laptop remains cool and efficient, even under demanding workloads.
For connectivity, the Vivobook S 14 supports the latest Wi-Fi 7, providing connection speeds up to 4.8 times faster than previous generations. It also supports multiple Bluetooth headphone connections for enhanced multimedia experiences. Its Thunderbolt 4 ports support high-speed data transfers and 4K display connections, adding to its versatility for both work and entertainment.
Immersive visuals and AI-powered creativity
ASUS has equipped the Vivobook S 14 with a 14-inch ASUS Lumina OLED display, offering Full HD resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. This display provides a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 certified, ensuring vibrant, lifelike colours. TÜV Rheinland has certified the screen for eye care, allowing extended usage without eye strain.
To cater to creative users, ASUS includes its StoryCube AI app, which functions as an all-in-one media management hub. This app uses AI assistance to help users organise, edit, and store files more efficiently, simplifying the workflow from concept to finished product. The laptop’s Memory Allocation Management feature allows users to adjust memory capacity allocated to the iGPU, enhancing performance for activities such as gaming, creative projects, and AI applications.
Personalised style and enhanced user experience
The Vivobook S 14 features the ErgoSense keyboard with single-zone RGB backlighting, customisable through Windows Dynamic Lighting, so users can match colours and effects to their preferences. The keyboard design includes a 1.7mm key travel, a quiet scissor-key mechanism, and an extra-large ErgoSense touchpad for precise control and smooth navigation.
ASUS has focused on user comfort with features like a 180° lay-flat hinge for easy collaboration and an IR camera with a physical shutter for enhanced privacy. Additionally, the laptop’s Harman Kardon-certified speakers provide Dolby Atmos-certified audio, delivering high-quality sound for video calls and entertainment.
For quick access to productivity tools, a dedicated “Copilot” key on the keyboard gives users an instant route to Windows 11’s AI-powered apps, enhancing workflow efficiency. With a single press, users can tap into AI-driven tools to streamline tasks and projects.
