ASUS VIVOBOOK 13 SLATE OLED

2-IN-1 LAPTOP

- GABRIEL JOHN PE

Hybrid 2-in-1s were the rage back in the early 2010s but as time moved on, they slowly disappeared. That's why when I was offered to look at the ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED (T3300) I was excited. ASUS was among the best when it came to making 2-in-1s back in the day, and this one looks like it's a worthy successor.

DESIGN 4/5

Design-wise the main tablet is pretty standard-looking. It has a 13.3-inch FHD OLED Display. Also in front is the 5-megapixel webcam. At the back is the 13-megapixel camera. Port selection is also pretty alright, on the left are two USB 3.2 Type-C ports that support both power and display, there's also the 3.5mm audio port, and a microSD card reader. Also found on the left are two of the four speakers. On the right are the volume buttons and the two other speakers. On top is the power button that doubles as the fingerprint reader. Lastly, the bottom has the connection point for the detachable keyboard.

The whole Vivobook 13 Slate OLED package also includes a carrying sleeve, the detachable keyboard, the detachable stand, a 65W charger, and the new ASUS Pen 2.0 stylus.

Going back to design, the stand, and the keyboard has this sort of minimalist street aesthetic to them which I found to be pretty cool. It's mostly found at the back of the keyboard and besides the rear camera, but there's also a subtle nod with the enter key.

HARDWARE 4/5

Powering the ASUS Vivobook Slate 13 OLED is an Intel Pentium N6000 quadcore processor that runs at a 1.1 GHz base but boosts up to 3.3 GHz. Our review unit had 8GB of RAM and 128 GB of PCIe SSD. Like I said earlier the webcam is a 5-megapixel camera, it was great, especially during zoom sessions. The back's 13-megapixel shooter is alright. You can take good daylight photos with it, but let's be real, are you really going to use this massive tablet as your main shooter over your phone?
