ASUS VivoBook S13 S333 13.3" Laptop (11th Intel, 2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
ASUS VivoBook S13 S333 is an affordable ultra-thin 13.3-inch laptop. While at first glance it appears to be the more "lively" alternative to the ZenBook 13 UX325, the VivoBook S333 loses some notable features and has a thicker chassis.
Like the S14 S433 and S15 S533, the S333 is powered by 11th-gen Intel Core Tiger Lake low-powered processors. It features ASUS's unique NumberPad touchpad. Despite a plastic construction, the S333 is remarkably thin and light.
Some compromises, however, can be found to achieve this: the VivoBook S13 S333 has only a single Thunderbolt 4 port, and its storage is capped at 512GB in PCIe 3 NVMe guise.

Reviewer score 66%The keys offer 1.4 mm of travel with crisp feedback when pressed. Clatter, however, is louder than average especially when pressing the Enter or Space keys. The clickpad is smaller than the clickpad on the ZenBook S13. Color space covers almost all of sRGB to be wider than expected for such an inexpensive laptop.
