Test Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED laptop - Inexpensive subnotebook is quieter and lasts longer thanks to Lunar Lake

[Balanced viewpoint]

Both battery life and multicore performance are important. The thing is tho, on x86 side the battery life improvements are so incremental relative to gen-on-gen price increases that it makes it almost not worth it anymore. On the other side, zen 5 had severe latency issues. I know these were fixed on desktop but have they been for mobile strix too? Even if they are now, still doesn't change the fact that there's terrible pricing for them and availability is not great either.

Don't know why people are getting so defensive on the side the choose to die on a hill for. Everything sucks anyway. I would say, go Apple instead but even with them only light to medium load battery life is solid. As soon as you look at heavy load, it's 1-2 hours runtime at most.

Looking forward to Oryon v2 and nvidias AI PC's. Hopefully, they can make some significant improvements in these areas. We will see.

What browser/version are you using to test WebXPRT/Kraken?  I get much higher results(304) from a Intel 155H from 2023 using Firefox 134.

I should be getting lower than your test results.

I have this laptop and I connect my HDMI cable to my 24" 1080p LG monitor, but I don't receive any signal. I've tried testing the cable and the monitor with other laptops and they work; it's only with this laptop that it doesn't work. I've already updated the BIOS and the graphics drivers, and I've used the Windows+P options, but I still haven't found a solution. Has anyone had this problem or found a solution?

What exactly is the difference between Asus models S5406SA and Q423SA? The specs in this article make them seem identical.
