Final Words
Like we mentioned before, the VivoBook S15 comes in 2 variants where one of them has SSD and HDD for the best of both speed and storage capacity, while the other variant only comes with HDD. They are priced at RM 3,299 and RM 2,899 respectively. After comparing it with the offerings from other brands, the ASUS VivoBook S15 is very competitively priced especially since it comes with the discreet GPU and SSD option.
Of course, sacrifices have to be made, such as 4 GB of RAM and the plastic construction throughout the chassis. However, there’s a lot to mention about this laptop. Notably, the 15.6-inch NanoEdge display is immersive for a laptop of its class. Combined with the thin and light weight design, it makes the VivoBook S15 the most portable 15-incher laptop I’ve ever known.
If you’re in the market for a full sized laptop that is thin and light weight yet fulfils your budget requirement, you should really checkout the ASUS VivoBook S15.
