Besides benchmarking the performance, I also tested two games, FIFA Online 4 and League of Legends, on the ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W. In both games, I set the graphics to the highest settings and used MSI Afterburner software to measure FPS, CPU temperature, RAM consumption, etc., to provide you with a more visual insight.

In FIFA Online 4 game, ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W maintains a stable frame rate of about 90 FPS throughout a match. Although when performing sudden scene transitions, such as replaying goals or slow-motion playback, FPS may drop to around 20-30 FPS, but overall the experience remains quite stable. Regarding graphics processing capability, ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W is truly impressive in reproducing the authentic and vivid gestures of players and details in the game. The combination with accompanying display technologies helps create an amazing gaming experience.

Moving on to League of Legends, ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W continues to perform well in handling this game. I experienced smooth gameplay with FPS ranging from 190 - 200 FPS throughout the match, sometimes reaching 210-220 FPS, demonstrating excellent optimization from ASUS for its device even though it's not a gaming laptop. The graphics of the machine are still impressive, especially when combined with the OLED display for vibrant colors, high detail, and smooth motion.

Additionally, I also used Crystal Diskmark software to measure the read/write speed of the SSD inside ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W. The results I obtained were also impressive, as follows:

ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W offers reliable battery life and effective cooling capability

To power the high-performance configuration and large 2.8K resolution display, ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W is equipped with a 63 Wh battery. To assess whether this battery capacity is sufficient for the mentioned powerful components, I used BatteryMon software to test the battery life of ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W, dividing it into two different usage scenarios. Here are the results:

- Scenario 1: Regular tasks without gaming:

• Battery life: 3 hours 31 minutes.
• Measurement time: 1 hour.
• Display brightness at 100%, volume at 70%, and battery saving mode off.
• Keyboard backlight enabled.
• Bluetooth connection enabled for keyboard and USB mouse connected.

- Scenario 2: Regular tasks with 20 minutes of gaming:

• Battery life: 2 hours 40 minutes.
• Measurement time: 1 hour.
• Display brightness at 100%, volume at 70%, and battery saving mode off.
• Keyboard backlight enabled.
• Bluetooth connection enabled for keyboard and USB mouse connected.

Certainly, ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W will have longer battery life when used for basic tasks, work, and light entertainment. However, when used for gaming along with basic tasks, the machine still provides approximately over 2 hours of usage. Nevertheless, these statistics serve as reference only, as the actual battery life may vary depending on tasks, software, settings, and more.

For me, ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W truly demonstrates excellent battery optimization in both scenarios. With the slim and lightweight design of the machine, we cannot expect a larger battery, especially when the device has to deal with a powerful chip and a high-resolution screen. Therefore, appreciating the machine's battery optimization capability is understandable. A notable advantage of the machine is its 90W charging power, significantly reducing charging time. Thus, I still advise you to bring the charger along if you need to go out for studying/working to ensure the device maintains its highest performance and battery life.

When working with heavy tasks such as video editing, graphic design, 3D modeling, etc., laptops usually generate high temperatures, which can affect performance. Therefore, many people are curious about whether ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W has good heat dissipation or not?

To provide you with a visual understanding, I used HWiNFO64 software to test the thermal performance of ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W. During the testing process, I engaged in tasks such as gaming, work, opening multiple Chrome tabs, and continuously using Photoshop for one hour. The average CPU temperature on ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W is 53 degrees Celsius, and the average GPU temperature is 47.4 degrees Celsius.

Personally, I find the above temperature figures to be very good. Throughout the usage of ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W, I noticed that the machine did not heat up too quickly or excessively. These results are truly impressive compared to the slim and lightweight design of the machine, which doesn't have much space for the cooling system.

How much does ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W cost? Is it worth buying?

ASUS Vivobook 14X OLED KM006W is priced at 29.49 million VND at Mytour (prices may vary depending on the timing and promotions).
