If you’ve been waiting for a value-packed laptop to snap up for a great price, this is it. Right now, Best Buy is clearing out this Asus Vivobook S 14 with an OLED screen, Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, and 16GB of RAM for the low price of $569.99. That’s almost $400 off retail!
Frankly, the original asking price of almost $1,000 was too much for a laptop without a touchscreen and only 512GB of storage, as noted in our PCWorld review. That review was for a slightly different config with more RAM, storage, and a different CPU, but the battery life figure—an impressive 20 hours—should be about the same here. And with a 14-inch OLED screen at 1920×1200 resolution and a fairly light 2.87-pound build, it’s a great choice for students or anyone who needs some decent power on the go, especially at this incredible sale price.
Connectivity is a high point, with double USB-C, double USB-A, full-sized HDMI, and a microSD card slot. The Intel Lunar Lake processor won’t beat bigger laptops with discrete graphics cards, but for light gaming (up to about Minecraft), it should be more than enough. It’s also got a solid metallic keyboard and an accurate, roomy trackpad. If you aren’t the kind of user who misses a touchscreen, you’ll be right at home here.
Best Buy has this marked as a clearance sale and I’m not seeing this model in stock in many other places, so you might want to hop on it quickly if you’re interested. If it isn’t quite what you’re looking for, be sure to check out PCWorld’s roundup of the best laptops.
