The ASUS S14 VivoBook is a thin and light device, which is really portable on the use. Since this Vivo VivoBook S14 ultrabook weighs just 1.4Kg, it doesn’t break your back even when carrying it around. Talking about the display, the ultrabook comes with a 14-inch display featuring Full-HD resolution. However, I don’t consider the ASUS VivoBook S14 display ideal for the content creators. The device falls short in terms of color gamut. With only 57% of NTSC Color Gamut, it is just fine for normal office works, media consumptions and gaming. Since I am more into the color accuracy of the laptops, I did not quite enjoy using the device in my Asus S14 review period.

On the performance side, the ASUS VivoBook S14 features the Core i5-8250U processor with 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM (2400MHz). However, the laptop comes with a HDD rather than a SSD due to which software on the device loaded up really slow. For the gaming, the device comes with GeForce MX 150 graphics card. With this setup, the ASUS S14 gaming was fairly decent. I played games like PUBG, CS:GO, FIFA, etc. on this device. My ASUS VivoBook S14 FIFA and ASUS VivoBook S14 CS GO experience was somewhat delightful since the game ran with decent frame rates. However, my ASUS VivoBook S14 PUBG was absolutely devastating since the game was not playable even in the lowest setting.

Talking about the ASUS S14 VivoBook S430ua battery, the laptop comes with a 40Wh battery, which looks decent in terms of capacity. However, when it comes to the ASUS VivoBook S14 battery life, I was not particularly impressed. The laptop provided only four hours of backup on my normal use. When compared with the ASUS S14 vs Acer Swift 3, I was more impressed with the later one. The Acer Swift provides almost 10 hours of backup on the normal use. So if you are into a prolonged battery backup, you should probably skip the ASUS S14 VivoBook S430un for the Swift 3.
