ASUS Vivobook S14 (S5408QA)

Released Sep 1, 2026$900 launch priceLaptop

ASUS's Vivobook S14 (S5408QA) is the Snapdragon X version of the 14-inch Vivobook S14, a Copilot+ PC with an 8-core Snapdragon X X1-26-100 chip, a 50 Wh battery and a 1.28 kg all-metal body. This record covers the US base model with 8 GB of LPDDR5X, a 256 GB SSD and a 60 Hz WUXGA IPS-level panel, listed at $899.99; ASUS also offers 16 GB/512 GB and OLED versions.

Pros

  • All-metal three-part body at 1.28 kg and 14.9-16.9 mm thick, tested to selected MIL-STD-810H methods
  • ASUS rates the 50 Wh battery at up to 30 hours of video playback and says the 68W USB-C adapter charges it to 60% in 49 minutes
  • Full port selection: two 10Gbps USB-C ports with display and power delivery, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and a headphone jack
  • FHD camera with IR for Windows Hello face login, plus a Microsoft Pluton security processor and firmware TPM
  • 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU for Copilot+ PC features

Cons

  • The US base model's IPS-level panel runs at 60 Hz, is rated at 300 nits and covers only 45% NTSC
  • The 8 GB configuration uses soldered LPDDR5X with an 8 GB maximum, so memory cannot be upgraded
  • Windows on Arm: apps built for x86 run through emulation
  • USB-C ports are 10Gbps USB 3.2 rather than USB4, and Wi-Fi is 6E rather than Wi-Fi 7
