Performances, autonomie de l’Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED S5506UA-DRMA005W

The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED S5506UA-DRMA005W is aimed at those who wish to have a portable 15-inch High Definition High Fidelity laptop computer with high performance in terms of multimedia-oriented processor.

As easy to transport as an Ultrabook because it is thin and light, it may be of interest to some who wish to equip themselves with a student laptop since its battery life is around 7 hours in light use.

However, this laptop relies on 16 GB of RAM as well as an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS Octo Core Hawk Point processor which houses the Radeon 780M graphics solution.

A maximum of users will be satisfied by the solid general performance delivered by these components which will particularly delight creative people.
Because the Ryzen 7 8845HS provides much faster processing than a Quad/Hexa Core, especially in resource-intensive areas (RAM) and CPU taking advantage of multi-core, such as video editing or photo editing.

Especially since this core is accompanied by SSD storage clearly reinforcing responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis thanks to its high speed.
So in addition to processing, starting/stopping and launching applications are also fast, and you can quickly access online game cards.

Be careful, however, no mistake. No dedicated graphics card is on board.
As a result, players will move on… unless they are prepared to make concessions to play light to modest games.
Reducing the screen definition is preferred when playing with the Radeon 780M, thanks to which you can watch HD photos and videos of course.
Because playing in 2.8K requires more graphics calculations than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

Coming back to the SSD, in addition to being very fast, it is silent, robust and energy efficient.
Asus opts here for a classic solution: a 512 GB SSD.

However, if you need additional space, you can use an external storage unit. To benefit from fast transfers, we will favor a USB 3.0/USB-C type device.

As for heating and noise, expect them to be present when this multimedia-oriented High Definition High Fidelity laptop PC is heavily used (e.g. processing).
To contain its temperatures, a ventilated support can be added (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
