Product Overview

ASUS VivoBook S15 S532 is an affordable ultra-thin 15.6-inch laptop. While its model number suggests that it is slotted below the VivoBook S15 S533, it has more features and is slightly smaller (though thicker and heavier).

The S532 has a metal chassis. It is powered by 11th-gen Intel Core Tiger Lake low-powered processors. As its 15.6-inch size allows the placement of a numeric keypad, the NumberPad touchpad found in smaller models has not made its way here. In its stead, the S15 S532 has a ScreenPad 2.0 touchpad, which is a secondary FHD IPS display.

Thanks to the new Intel processor, the VivoBook S15 S532 features Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and the latest Intel Iris Xe graphics.

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from techradar have found:

Asus VivoBook S15 is one of the first laptops to support the new Wi-Fi 6 standard (aka 802.11ax) Despite its 15.6-inch screen, the laptop is still highly portable, weighing just 1.8kg and measuring a sleek 18mm thick. The i7 model reviewed here also sports Asus' ScreenPad 2.0, a somewhat unusual trackpad design that doubles up as a miniature touch-screen.

Pros

Sleek design
Good battery life
Good value for money

Cons

ScreenPad 2.0 is a bit odd
Limited connectivity
