Video Description

The Macbook Air M4 is here but there are actually some solid competitors like the new Vivobook S 14 with the Ryzen Ai 9 365 processor. This laptop seems to have it all. Great performance, a brilliant screen, good port selection and many more things. The only issue we might have is the Vivobook S 14 battery life....which is strangely low.
