ASUS Vivobook 14

Bottom Line

This ASUS Vivobook 14 is packed with features we'd normally get excited about—excellent battery life, snappy performance, and a clean software experience make it genuinely appealing for work and school. *However*, there's a serious elephant in the room: multiple reviewers experienced catastrophic power failures within months of purchase, and when they reached out to ASUS for help, they hit a wall of silence. In our books, a laptop that fails is bad enough, but a laptop that fails without support is a deal-breaker. Before committing to this model, we'd recommend thoroughly researching the current reliability reports and customer service reputation, or considering alternatives with stronger track records for both hardware durability and responsive support.
