Asus VivoBook S14 and S15

Here we have another laptop that is just fresh out of factory, the Asus Vivobook S15 that just arrived in Malaysia. Compared to the Expertbook B9 we reviewed last week, this laptop caters to students. It is much cheaper than the Expertbook but slightly heavier.

Here’s our review for the laptop:

Asus VivoBook S15

Asus Vivobook S15Having a 10th generation Intel Core i5 and an Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU, the Asus VivoBook S15 is a reliable everyday workhorse that you can definitely count on. Not only does it get you through your daily tasks, you’d still have battery left to spare at the end of the day. Its thin and light body makes it easy to carry around with you wherever you go, making working remotely a stress-free agenda in your itinerary.

Death Stranding

Death Stranding Coming to PCThose aside, it’ll be interesting to see just how well Death Stranding will run on PC; especially given the fact that it was initially developed with consoles in mind. Knowing this, we’d advice our readers to wait until reviews of the game on PC have been released before purchasing the game.
