Speedy performance
Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED is powered by up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor with 14 cores that makes every task easier, whether it’s streaming, browsing, editing, video chatting, or just taking care of business at home. Capable of being boosted up to a CPU thermal design power (TDP) of 45 watts, it’s the fastest performing processor generation to date and is accompanied by up to Intel Iris® Xe graphics.
To unleash the full power of the processor, the ASUS IceCool thermal technology in Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED uses up to 8 mm and 6 mm heat pipes, and an IceBlade fan that efficiently accelerates heat transfer. And with up to 16 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD storage, Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED always makes daily work easy and convenient.
WiFi 6E[ii] (802.11ax) allows users to load online content in the blink of an eye, and it’s made even better by ASUS WiFi Master technology, which includes ASUS WiFi SmartConnect that automatically selects the best WiFi source, so the laptop connects seamlessly to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots.
A visual feast
Visual enjoyment is assured with the gorgeous up to 16:10 3.2K (3200 x 2000) 120 Hz / 0.2 ms OLED NanoEdge touchscreen on Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED, which is covered with tough Corning Gorilla® Glass NBT™ for enhanced resistance to scratches and fingerprints. It brings ideas to life with its vibrant 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and expansive 85.6% screen-to-body ratio.
The PANTONE® Validated and VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 certification means that it delivers accurate colors and shows the deepest possible blacks. And with eye-care certification from both SGS and TÜV Rheinland, eyes are well-protected with the low blue-light emissions. There’s also a color sensor that detects ambient light levels and automatically adjusts the brightness and color temperature of the screen to provide the best-looking image according to the surroundings.

Design perfection
Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED is designed with the user in mind, with many features designed to improve their productivity and comfort.
The surface of any laptop harbors thousands of potentially harmful bacteria. To keep Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED hygienic, it's protected by ASUS Antimicrobial Guard — a surface treatment[iii] that keeps the bugs at bay. ASUS Antimicrobial Guard has been scientifically proven[iv] to inhibit the growth of bacteria by more than 99%[v] over a 24-hour period, ensuring the surfaces[vi] of the laptop stay clean and sanitary for longer, and reducing the spread of potentially harmful bacteria via contact.
For typing comfort, Vivobook S 16 Flip OLED is equipped with a full-size 19.05 mm-pitch ASUS ErgoSense keyboard, with long 1.4 mm key travel, 0.2 keycap dishes.
To make the laptop as eco-friendly as possible, the device is constructed with 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, and the packaging is 100% recyclable.
The Dolby Atmos® certified audio system — powered by a smart amplifier and ASUS Audio Booster technology for 5.25X louder sound — delivers music, movies or podcasts with crystal-clear multi-dimensional sound. ASUS AI noise-cancelation technology filters out ambient noise for optimum group conference-call quality.
[i] Selected products are tested using enhanced military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability standards, with 12 test methods and 26 test procedures, to ensure extraordinary toughness. Based on ASUS internal market research using available information and testing reports from main laptop brand websites on Oct 28, 2022, ASUS consumer laptops use a regime consisting of 26 test procedures, which is the consumer laptop industry’s strictest and most extensive test regime for the MIL-STD-810H standard.
[ii] WiFi 6E availability may vary by country according to their specific regulations. Feature only supported by Windows 11 or later.
[iii] Antimicrobial treatments are manufactured by ISHIZUKA and the actual composition of ASUS Antimicrobial Guard may vary.
[iv] Tested by an independent third-party laboratory according to the ISO 22196 standard (Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces).
[v] Clinical testing using ISO 22196 standard protocol proved that bacterial growth were inhibited by 99% over a 24-hour period. A 99% reduction in potentially harmful microorganisms is defined as the number of bacteria on the surface dropping from 1,000,000 cfu/ml to 100 cfu/ml.
[vi] ASUS Antimicrobial Guard is applied to the laptop areas that users touch most frequently, including the palm rest area, keyboard, power button/fingerprint sensor and touchpad. A sticker on the laptop will help to identify the device is covered by ASUS Antimicrobial Guard due to different spec configuration.
