Vivobook S 16 Flip: What Reddit Owners Actually Think

It's a great laptop overall. Battery life isn't the greatest but if you are a uni student, you have access to a plug-in in most cases. The built in graphics handles video contents without a hitch, even in dual screen setups. Good enough gaming power for League, Overwatch, etc on low settings. Still looks great on that gorgeous OLED at 2k. My only gripe, and its a big flaw, is that it runs very hot. Mine is the ultra 9 model so I am not sure how the ultra 5 model is.

It's not a gaming laptop by any means. I actually don't like this laptop and would return it if I could. The Ultra 9 has NO BUSINESS being in this thin laptop with inadequate cooling. It runs so so hot, even with the fans running on full blast (very noisy). I really can't recommend it.

Don't have that exact model but it's unlikely lots of people are getting defective units if the battery lasts only 3 hours. It's more likely a difference in how people use it. I have a very similar laptop with the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U in it and no way am I getting 10 hours of light usage. I think realistically 3 to 6 hours of battery depending on how you use it.

Any gaming will be hugely power demanding and should really be done with the laptop plugged in. I do recall watching Netflix for a good 5 or 6 hours without it being plugged in one time and it still had battery left after that. But that was with brightness at low as it was night time in a dark room.

Any MPP 2.0 pen works with the Vivobook S 16 Flip.

Yeah I haven't updated this in a very long time. I've also pretty much stopped using my Renaisser pen after like 6 months in. It started randomly ghosting and the only thing that seems to fix it is to wait. Restarting the pen and reseating the tip doesn't work either. This error can last up to hours at times, which made it extra annoying when I'm trying to take notes in class.

I have the i9 version. I had to change the wifi card because it wasn't supported in the kernel roughly a year ago. OLED rules.

Hi, I've got for last christmas in 2023 the one with Ryzen 7 7730U with 16gb ram and it's really a good laptop, so far i love it. It is fast, the battery life is really good (4-6 hours still after a year of use). It has a fast charge and the Asus app has a battery care mode that wont allow it to charge beyond 80 percent. I can play games on it too, the Ryzen CPU is really powerful. I'm really happy with it. I'm using it mainly for schoolwork. It has great speakers and display too.

I have OLED Vivobook S16, Ultra 9, Intel Evo, 16GB Ram, 1TB. Overall my experience with this is alright, very lovely OLED Display. I mainly use it for School Solidworks CAD program, watch videos and also a few games. There is a bit of problem with solidworks which is when I move my mouse to my 3d drawing part, it retraces the edges and holes for a few seconds, not instantly like other devices which affected my efficiency in working with this software.

No...went for a macbook, great investment.

I have had it for a few days, haven't gotten to use it fully yet cause work but I am blown away. Build quality feels really good and screen looks amazing. Touch response is pretty decent. The number pad is kind of cramped but doable. Typing feels pretty good, not the best I felt but I'm surely happy. It's so responsive and fast.

I've bought the Vivobook 16 flip TP3607SH (the one which has RTX 5050 and Ultra 7 258V). The hardware is awesome, but the build quality? Yeah... that's a different story. I'm worried my chassis will break over time if I keep putting my Vivobook on the flimsy lecture hall tables, where you can see the top of the chassis actually bend. Another thing that concerns me is that as I'm typing, I'm denting the keyboard. I'm not even a hardcore typer, yet it feels like I was using a hammer.

I just bought this from Costco and will have it in 2 days. Is there a lot of bloatware installed? I usually wipe the drive and install a clean iso from Microsoft.

Eh not as much as the ASUS gaming laptops but still I would recommend doing a bloatware clean.

I just bought one. If you're watching YouTube or doing video playback I get 8.5 hours SOT on battery saver. But it charges fast.

If you're just reading its 10 hours SOT, If you're using excel it's under 8 hours. If you're watching movies like Netflix it's 5.5 hours. If you're gaming (PUBG) 3 hours. So basically for an avg person you'll get 6 hours of SOT. For a good battery life would be like 8 hours for Netflix, 12 hours for excel and 20 hours for reading.

My ASUS Vivobook S16 Flip is model TP3604V. Despite the glowing comments about battery life, at full charge it indicates it will last 3 hours. Overnight in sleep mode (no programs running, no windows open, no background programs except what came on the machine) will drop the power by 15%. It's almost a charge daily laptop and if you're actually using it (for me, it was simple word processing) be certain to have the power cord with you!

Lasted 4 hours with first time setup, windows updates, command and conquer generals gaming, no audio, 80% brightness.

It lasts me 95 minutes while doing homework at max brightness (I use the intel version).

The battery life on Vivobook 16X OLED (at least with Intel) is a fuckin' joke. I bought it as a travel workstation, but this laptop can barely survive 2-2.5 hours in a PowerPoint at 75% brightness. If I run any kind of even light workload (VS Code, VMWare, Fusion360) it dies about 1.25-1.5 hours!! ONE AND A HALF hours! My old Lenovo Thinkpad with the beaten down old battery that I hadn't replaced at least six years had a battery life of about 4 hours at the same workload!

I'm having the same issues, I don't have the oled version but this one lasts 2h tops at minimum brightness and power saving mode on, just running some web browsing and WhatsApp or discord, can't even consider running vscode without a power source, it's insanely annoying. It's going down 10% every 10 mins even if I don't touch it.

Same - about 1% per minute, give or take. I'll try to reinstall a fresh version of Win11 once I'll have a free afternoon to see maybe some driver update will fix this. But overall I have a feeling that power management and battery on this laptop simply sucks and there is no way around it. It's a shame because otherwise this laptop is quite nice - good performance, gorgeous screen, but battery life just kills any practical use case in field.

Thank you so much. Confirmed to be working with a 2024 Asus Vivobook S 16. The default fan curves, even when put on performance mode or full mode, still does nothing for idle fan speeds. My Core Ultra 9 185H was idling at 55-60C because the fans were completely off. IMO that is a HOT idle temp. Now it runs at or around 50C which is much better.

I also just got myself a Vivobook 16S Flip, and I got the Renaisser Raphael Slim, and it seems to do me fine. Not much of an artist though, so my opinion only stems from writing and dumb doodles. Other options I see get mentioned a lot is basically any other Renaisser pens, Metapen M2 and M3, the Lenovo Precision Pen 2.

Palm rejection is definitely not as good as say on an iPad or a Samsung, but as long as your pen is hovering close enough to the screen, it will automatically cancel any input from your skin.

As an artist wanted to give my update, this was the only info I could find about getting a pen for the computer. I got the Renaisser stylus for Microsoft 10&11 (1024 pen pressure) and its trash. Ok maybe not trash, but there is a lot wrong with it. There isn't proper settings to adjust the pen on the flip 16, I had to fiddle with them forever to get the pen to stop drawing when it was hovering an inch away.

Yeah honestly this is such a good laptop for the price, very hard to beat.

Je voudrais dire que j'en ai un et que la batterie ne dure en effet que très peu de temps. Je fais particulièrement attention à ne pas le charger abusivement, la luminosité n'est jamais au max et souvent, l'ordi ne s'allume plus sans raison, me disant ne pas avoir de batterie.

Ho un vivobook intel i7 con scheda grafica Nvidea, la batteria sostituita perchè pensavo fosse il problema... dura massimo 2 ore dal 100% PENOSA.
