Hello

Seems like a decent deal for a basic laptop with a great screen.

Specifications:

14" WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) 16:10 OLED Screen 400 nits display with ultra-slim 4-sided NanoEdge bezels
Intel Core i5-11300H
256GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD
8GB DDR4 RAM

EDIT - some more information:

  • Shipped from Newegg US, ASUS AFAIK has a worldwide 24 month warranty for laptops
  • Will need a plug/converter for charging
  • Screen has PWM below 50% brightness so keep it above that for best results :)
  • Only SSD is upgradable
  • Dark mode + dark colour themes, autohide taskbar and set screen to turn off after 15 min are good ways to mitigate risk of burn in
Computing 14inch ASUS Computer Laptop

    Wow this is so cheap for a laptop with a good screen

  • asa79 on 01/09/2022 - 13:29

    Found my answer to memory upgrade
    Cons: Battery life is short (battery saver mode is a must), the ram cannot be upgraded, and the wifi 6 chip isn't the Intel model. (I think it was MediaTek but I can't remember)

    • Jfree on 01/09/2022 - 13:39

      no ram upgrade 😬

      • tonyjzx on 01/09/2022 - 14:47

        the mediatek wifi isnt an issue, just buy an intel card and upg.

        also there's only a single m2 slot so. your storage options are limited

        dual slots should be the norm… i mean even acer give you two mostly

      Just ruined my oled phone with burn in :/

      I forgot it was oled. At least it's 4 years old and tbh i don't care that much. But i could not handle burn in on a monitor or tv

      • ozvictor on 01/09/2022 - 13:48

        Yea with windows the status bar is easy to burn in as it never move on main screen so I try to avoid OLED on labtop

        • justtoreply on 01/09/2022 - 13:52

          Yep. But tbh for $657 its a fair risk

          You can set to auto hide Windows task bar.

        • xenek on 01/09/2022 - 19:58

          is there any 'power on hours' on oled firmware or driver nvram module?

    • shabaka on 01/09/2022 - 14:14
      +11

      from experience with OLED laptops in the past:
      - make sure your wallpaper and lock screen are 100% black
      - disable all icons on the desktop, desktop needs to be pitch black - run apps from windows menu or taskbar
      - taskbar can and will burn-in slowly, try to have it pitch black as well, with fewest icons possible for applications you need and start menu

      should be fine for photo editing and media consumption. video editing will be limited by RAM

      • eecan on 01/09/2022 - 14:24
        +10

        Can also have the taskbar set to auto hide

        • shabaka on 01/09/2022 - 14:25
          +1

          can do, from experience though the implementation is rather annoying (however last time I tried it was in Windows 8).
          yes worth giving a shot

      • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2022 - 14:32

          Yours probably wasn't OLED, probably TN.

      • PlushToys on 01/09/2022 - 14:43

        Defeats the purpose of having an OLED screen with so many precautions.

        • shabaka on 01/09/2022 - 15:56
          +3

          it's same as OLED panels in mobile phones and TV's, really, nothing different here.

          if you want an OLED panel, and you want to use it for applications where screen response is critical (like photo editing), it's a normal practice to do what I outlined above. saves battery life, too

          if you just want to use for media consumption and usual productivity, just use it as your level of comfort dictates

        • eecan on 01/09/2022 - 16:51

          It might sound like a lot but that really is like… less than 2 minutes work as a once off when you first set up the machine.

          • Change wallpaper/lockscreen
          • Remove desktop icons
          • Auto hide taskbar
      • smartazz104 on 01/09/2022 - 14:54
        +8

        Sounds like you're saying to just keep the screen off…

        • shabaka on 01/09/2022 - 15:58
          +1

          not really, just to minimize unnecessary wear. like I said above, depends on what you want to use it for. if it's just general productivity and media consumption, you can do what you want.

          but if you think about editing photos on it, and improve battery life, too, those are your basics

      • shanlee on 01/09/2022 - 18:22
        +3

        Very well.. you can turn off the laptop to save the oled burn

      • xenek on 01/09/2022 - 20:02

        Hmmm, maybe there's some way to code an 'oled on count up timer'. I did a quick search on AlternativeTo https://alternativeto.net/browse/search/?q=oled%20count%20up… and https://alternativeto.net/browse/search/?q=amoled

        I probably should check producthunt but I don't actually know if they do apps. Hmm update. Checked it… seems a bit of an untapped market.

        This looks like an opportunity for someone to make a rad tool, to save the rad screen? could have a rad reminder every now and then as well… even get some rad photos for a screensaver and auto-dim… etc.

      • liquid23 on 02/09/2022 - 09:57

        Haha remind on a Steven He episode where he keeps telling the guy to make the scene blacker and blacker eventually just turn the camera off. That what this OLED needs, just use it with the power off and no burn in

    • ubcool on 01/09/2022 - 16:32

      Had OLED Thinkpad for 3 years used everyday no burn in.

      • shabaka on 02/09/2022 - 09:39

        yeah on YouTube there are people who never cared about burn in and did nothing to prevent it, and report none, fir example on Alienware with OLED

  • bassiveguitar on 01/09/2022 - 13:31
    +4

    Crazy good price.

    Only drawback I can pick is no power delivery or display over USB C, and for thirsty users needing to add more RAM themselves. But this is purely situational, it'll be great for most users.

    Great find!

    • aldroid on 01/09/2022 - 13:53
      +6

      According to the description it is a Thunderbolt 4 port with PD so should support external display and charging via USB-C. But unfortunately the 8GB of RAM is the deal breaker for me. Otherwise this would have been an ideal candidate for an external GPU setup.

      • bassiveguitar on 01/09/2022 - 14:45
        +3

        Oh, this must be an updated model, as previous Vivobook Pro's didnt have Thunderbolt 4. Appreciate you pointing this out.

        Yes agreed, give me 16GB RAM and we're on a winner.

    1.4 KG is a little heavy for a 14" non-gaming notebook.
    But I suppose they need a big heat sink for that power hungry inefficient 11th gen Intel CPU.
    Still a bargain if the battery life is reasonable.. big if.

    • snep on 01/09/2022 - 16:48

      63 whr battery isn't that big considering the oled is going to be a big power draw, and as you say intel isn't that efficient. I would guess 6ish hours regular use

      Even with a low end TN display it's still a decent price provided you can live with only 8Gb RAM.

  • shabaka on 01/09/2022 - 16:04

    just to highlight a couple of caveats:
    - RAM is soldered, no RAM upgrade possible
    - only one NVMe drive under the hood, no easy way to expand storage apart from clone/replace with bigger drive depending on your needs (or can use external USB-C SSD's, they are getting cheap and quick)

    other people keep asking, so here's another couple things:
    - this does have TB4, supports external USB-C display if need be, and USB-C charging
    - this is a great choice for photo editing. DCI-P3 coverage with hi-res OLED panel at such a low price, the only alternative would be iPad Pro, and it's actually more expensive and has smaller screen

Thunderbolt 4 from ASUS site of the model "supports display / power delivery" so hopefully can be recharged by a PD battery if needed and although the manual suggested charging using the charging brick, it has "it may take longer to charge your notebook pc through a low voltage power source" in the thunderbolt 4 section.

    Upvoting, as it's great for people using it for very light purposes, but 8GB is honestly getting nearly unusable, with Windows and applications being as bloated as they are.

        That's for sure, but the incredible 90Hz OLED 2.8K display makes it all worth it. Believe it or not, for $650, not everyone needs more than 8GB of RAM. An excellent display and H series processor is good enough

        • buddysayshi on 01/09/2022 - 21:57

          As soon as a few programs are open along with a few tabs in a browser, 8GB starts getting used to the full capacity. For future proofing, I think 8GB is not enough.
