Asus Vivobook S13

amazon Asus Vivobook S13 reviews

General design

With tones of Yellow, Pink, and Gray, Vivobook S13 is oriented toward the “sisters” who love pink. The machine is made of high-quality plastic with an alchemy texture and is painted with a smooth matte finish to help limit fingerprints.

Although there are no special highlights, the S13 is nostalgic with its small appearance and bright color tone. S13’s light weight of only 1.2 kg brings convenience when traveling, especially for beautiful women, so this is also a key point for customers to make a decision.

The key highlight of the S13 is the modern ErgoLift hinge for a fancy look. In addition to being new, this hinge also helps to raise the device to an angle of 2.5° for more heat dissipation and gives the keyboard a tilt to help users feel comfortable when using the keyboard for a long time.

Screen Specifications

Features Full-HD (1920-1280) resolution on a 13.3″ size. The screen of the S13 is used with screen anti-glare technology to help limit light reflection, thereby supporting well when working outdoors, according to the experiment, the anti-glare ability of the S13 is average.

With 45% NTSC color coverage, the S13’s screen has a certain chromatic aberration, not suitable for professional or semi-professional graphics use. The wide viewing angle of 178° limits color distortion for visibility from many directions. Brightness and contrast are average.

Vivobook S13 is used with Nano Edge (0.5cm) ultra-thin screen border technology, accounting for 89% of the screen ratio, seemingly only on entry-level laptops, helping to create a strong visual appeal, increasing the look and feel nice overall. In addition, Asus Eye Care technology reduces up to 30% of harmful blue light to the eyes.

Keyboard-Touchpad

Despite the low price, the S13’s keyboard is still invested in by the company in the best possible way, the keys are designed in a square shape with rounded corners and slightly concave.

The characters on the black key look very sharp, the keyboard light is not too bright but enough to operate in the dark corner, the actual pressing process shows that the keyboard is smooth, the key travel is average (1.4mm), typing is very comfortable.

Audio speakers

Asus SonicMaster audio technology helps the S13’s speakers have a large volume, large speakers (3cmx1.5cm), good sound quality, good detail processing, the bass is not too thick but can still be heard clearly, the treble range is a bit weak, with strong speaker systems in detail and bass that are suitable for listening to Acoustic, Pop ballad, lyrical music…

Radiators

Normally, the heat dissipation system on office laptops is often left “outside” because the machine rarely has to run at high capacity, but with the S13, the cooling system is still seriously invested with a series of air intake slots below and 2 radiator slot right on the hinge.

However, because the case is made of plastic with limited heat retention, this is also the right decision of the company.

Connection ports

Asus is very willing to spend when integrating Vivobook S13 with a USB 01 Type C port, this is the most modern USB port that can replace most of the features of traditional USB ports, and at the same time, the transmission speed is very high. Downloads can be up to 20Gbps.

Outstanding image transmission capability and easy connection with the same 2-head design, any plug can be plugged in. The remaining S13 has most of the common ports such as USB-A 3.1, USB 2.0, HDMI, MicroSD card slot, and Audio / Micro jack.
