Pros and Cons

Asus VivoBook S14 S433

Strengths

The laptop's mid-range price tag is fair considering its performance.
It performs well for what it is, especially in terms of CPU performance.
The i7 + MX250 version of the higher-tier ASUS Zenbook 14 UX434 has been outperformed by this laptop in our tests.
The 100% sRGB screen is a nice touch and provides good color accuracy.
The backlit keyboard in the higher-tier S433FL versions is a welcome feature.
The MX250 graphic chip is more powerful than what you normally get on a 14-inch Ultrabook.
Despite thermal limitations, the laptop still performs well in games, especially with a cooling pad.

Weaknesses

The thermal design of the laptop leaves much to be desired, and it can get hot during gaming sessions.
The GPU stabilizes at around 70-80% of its maximum capacity in demanding titles, leading to reduced performance over time.
The bottom aluminum panel heats up quickly, further impacting component temperatures and speed.
There is no USBC charging option, so you'll have to always bring along the included Barrow plug charger.
The CPU temperatures can reach 70-80 degrees Celsius during gaming sessions.
The GPU stabilizes at around 7-15% higher clocks with a cooling pad, but still not ideal.
If you're looking for better performance, AMD Ryzen 4000 notebooks might be a more competitive option.
