Performance scores
Compute and carry, in that order
The 2025 Vivobook S14 (S3407) spends its $765 on three things: an eight-core Intel Core i5 13420H whose CPU score reads 91.36 in the enthusiast band, a reliability index of 93 in the top quarter, and a mobility index of 83 — two-thirds above the class median. It is a 2025-fresh general-class machine that leads with silicon quality and build trust.
The graphics column is integrated-only and the data says so plainly: 14.08 against a class median of 27.24. That placing is the documented iGPU reading — roughly half the shelf, no flattery, no penalty beyond the truth. The absolute levels frame it honestly: gaming 28 and modeling 29 sit in the low band, engineering CAD 47 mid, photo and design 40 mid, while office 84.85 and portability 71.6 hold high.
The flag sheet keeps the claims modest
Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V, and Rainbow Six Siege clear their minimum bars — not recommended — and Visual Studio Code clears recommended. That is the correct scope for this silicon: minimum-tier gaming confirmed by flags, serious development comfort, nothing overstated.
Depreciation math
The anchor reads 15% yearly on a one-year-old machine. That is a fast early curve; the $765 ticket is already absorbing it. The value index of 70.9 — high band — suggests the pricing has caught up with the pace.
Who should buy it
The buyer whose workday is CPU-shaped: code, documents, browser sprawl, carried daily. The gaming axis is honestly low and flagged only at minimum — this is a compute-and-carry purchase, and a well-evidenced one.
Bottom line: reliability 93, mobility 83, and an enthusiast-band CPU at 91.36 — the three columns a working buyer carries daily — priced at $765 with a 70.9-high value index behind them. The low-band gaming and modeling axes mark the boundary, flagged at minimum where they are flagged at all: Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V, and Rainbow Six Siege at minimum, Visual Studio Code at recommended. One year of exposure at a 15% curve is already in the ticket; the silicon quality is what remains.
