Played with Zenbooks and Vivobooks at the store the other day.
They look good, but keyboard decks have rather noticeable flex, I dont know where and how they get their boasted mil-spec ratings/tests done, but those wonky keyaboard decks dont inspire much trust in their longevity.
I remember trying out UX481 and UX581 at the store about a year ago, those had rather solid keyboard decks, I hope that new 14" Duo model will have one of those too.

I'm a bit confused with this trend of making 2.8k-4k laptop displays sitting on integrated graphics.

Do they expect people to play above 30 fps on mobile games? Or sit on netflix

These are perfect for someone like me.

I don't need a powerful CPU, don't play any PC games, but I DO watch movies and shows on my laptop. Most of them are 4K 10-bit HDR original quality, and HDR only works on OLED. Also need long battery life for my work, which requires a Ryzen processor and big battery combination.

No other ultrabooks besides these new OLED Vivobooks can do what I want a laptop to do. Asus VivoBook S 16X is the kind of laptop I wanted Apple to make years ago - basically a 17" MacBook Air .

Title says Ryzen 6000, but the article doesn't mention anything about the Ryzen CPU configuration.

Also VivoBook S 14X seems identical to "VivoBook S 14" in another article. Are they different models?

S 14X is 14.5 inch and full metal body, S 14 is 14 inch and metal lid.
