Vivobook S14 2025 design: 1.59cm thin, luxurious metal frame
The first impression is a familiar Vivobook S14 compared to with the version last year, with a very familiar overall design – from thin, light slices, softly rounded corners and a “seductive” thinness of 1.59cm, and a weight of 1.4kg, very suitable for university students and office workers to conveniently carry around.
And because it belongs to the high-end segment, the overall build quality of the machine is very well refined when the Vivobook S14 2025 is made very solidly. Especially when both sides of the machine are made of metal, the machine is not only sturdy, but also looks very luxurious to carry with you.
In particular, I feel that the hinge is very well reinforced, so my opening and closing experience is extremely smooth, the machine can even be folded 180 degrees, so you can also use it comfortably.

Compared to the previous generation, the trackpad of S14 is 40% larger, and when used, it is really comfortable. The surface is smooth, less fingerprints, and especially supports Smart Gesture to help quickly perform tasks such as adjusting volume, brightness, pausing or rewinding videos quite conveniently.

In terms of connection ports, Vivobook S14 2025 is not much but enough. With 2 USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports supporting fast charging and display output, plus HDMI 1.4 and 3.5mm jack, enough for basic needs. If you need to plug in more peripherals, you may have to invest in an additional hub, but for office users, this is fine.
14-inch WUXGA screen, 16:10 ratio with Dolby Atmos speakers
The screen of Vivobook S14 this year is truly “scoring” in terms of display space: WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200), 16:10 ratio brings a more comfortable working experience than traditional 16:9 screens, especially when processing documents, Excel or surfing the web.

In addition to the screen coverage ratio of up to 86% with 3 NanoEdge borders, the edges look both sophisticated and help users enjoy beautiful images on the computer screen. Although the device only has a 60Hz refresh rate, I still highly appreciate the display quality that this year’s S14 brings.
Next, Vivobook S14 2025 is equipped with a set of speakers integrated with Dolby Atmos technology, providing quite clear sound and good separation when listening to music, watching movies or making video calls. Although the volume and bass are not too outstanding due to the slim design, but in the office price range, this is a good speaker system, slightly above average, enough to use comfortably without headphones.
