Who these laptops suit in an office

  • Sales and marketing staff who carry a laptop to meetings every day. The S14 at 1.28 kg is the easier one to carry.
  • Accounts and admin staff who work in spreadsheets all day. The S16 has a number pad and a bigger screen, which helps with long data entry.
  • Light design work, such as social media posts, Canva and simple photo edits. The OLED screen covers the full DCI-P3 colour range, according to ASUS.

For heavy video editing, 3D work or large engineering files, look at a laptop with more memory and a stronger graphics chip.

What to do before you buy for business

  1. Memory cannot be added later. ASUS lists 16GB as on board and as the maximum. That is fine for office apps and a browser with many tabs. For any office laptop, treat 16GB as the minimum.
  2. Windows 11 Home or Pro. These models ship with Home, and ASUS itself recommends Pro for business. If your IT support manages laptops centrally or joins them to a company domain, ask the reseller for the price of a Pro upgrade before you buy.
  3. Check your software. Snapdragon chips use the Arm design, while most office PCs run on Intel or AMD. Many everyday apps run well on Arm. Older accounting software, printer and scanner drivers, and VPN tools are the usual problem, so ask each vendor first.
  4. Count your ports. Two USB-C, two USB-A and HDMI cover a mouse, a flash drive and a meeting room screen. If you use a docking station with two monitors, test it with the dock you have.
  5. Ask about warranty. Get the warranty period and the service centre in writing from the seller, and register the laptop with ASUS when it arrives.

Once the laptop arrives, set up your company email and two-step login before the staff member takes it out. Our team can help with business email setup on new laptops.
