The Asus ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED ranks as the #609 laptops globally, achieving a LibraScore of 68.

Is it Worth it?

Even simple tasks like browsing the web can take an eternity, with some websites taking up to a full minute to load. This makes it difficult to recommend the Vivobook 13 Slate OLED as a reliable computing option. Take a look at Asus ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3 - its improved performance sets a new standard.
