Performance

The Ryzen 5 7430U offers solid multitasking performance for everyday productivity — think web browsing, video conferencing, document editing, and even light creative work. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it handles parallel tasks efficiently, though it's not a chip meant for heavy gaming or professional 3D rendering.

The 16GB RAM ensures a smooth experience with multiple tabs and apps open. And the PCIe 3.0 SSD offers fast boot times and app loading.

Best for: Office work, Zoom calls, design students, coding, and moderate creative workloads (e.g., Figma, Photoshop-lite).

Display & Design

The 14-inch WUXGA screen (1920 x 1200) offers more vertical space than a standard Full HD screen — great for reading, writing, and productivity. It's sharp, colorful, and bright enough (300 nits) for indoor use. The glossy touch panel supports stylus input, making it ideal for note-taking or sketching.

The 360° hinge transforms the VivoBook into a tablet, tent, or stand mode, perfect for presentations or creative work. While it’s not as premium as a ZenBook or Surface, the design feels well-balanced and professional.

Keyboard, Touchpad & Ports

The backlit keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and the 1.4mm key travel feels responsive. The large precision touchpad supports multi-touch gestures well.

Port selection is solid for a thin-and-light:

• USB-C with power delivery and display out

• HDMI 2.1 for 4K external displays

• Full-sized USB-A (x2)

• USB 2.0 (useful for mouse/dongles)

• 3.5mm audio jack

The inclusion of a USB-C port that supports display output and charging is a huge plus at this price point.

Webcam & Audio

The 1080p Full HD webcam is a standout feature — much better than the usual 720p sensors. It includes a privacy shutter for peace of mind. Audio is decent for casual media consumption and Zoom calls, though not particularly rich or bass-heavy.

Battery Life

Expect 6–8 hours of real-world use — browsing, video calls, and light work — depending on brightness and performance settings. It's not an endurance champ, but respectable for this class of device.

Who Is It For?

• Students: Great for note-taking, classes, presentations, and light content creation.

• Remote Professionals: Reliable webcam, backlit keyboard, and solid multitasking.

• Creatives on a budget: Stylus support + decent screen makes it viable for sketching, UX/UI work.

• General Users: If you want something stylish, capable, and touch-enabled for casual to moderate work.

• Fast Ryzen 5 processor with 16GB RAM

• Bright WUXGA touchscreen with stylus support

• Solid build and 360° hinge flexibility

• USB-C with Power Delivery and Display Output

• Windows 11 Pro pre-installed

• Good port selection

The ASUS VivoBook S 14 Flip (TN3402YA) is an excellent mid-range 2-in-1 laptop for users who value flexibility, performance, and portability. It punches above its weight in many ways — especially with Windows 11 Pro, a quality touch display, and stylus support out of the box.

If you’re looking for a reliable convertible laptop for work, school, or light creative tasks — and don’t want to overspend — this is a smart buy.
