Is the Ryzen AI 9 fast enough for video editing?

Yes. The Ryzen AI 9 is a high-end mobile chip, and with 48 GB of RAM it handles 4K editing and multitrack timelines well. Heavy 3D rendering is better suited to a discrete GPU.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?

Treat the 48 GB and 2 TB as fixed. Many Vivobook S models solder memory and use a single M.2 slot, so check the exact configuration before buying if upgrades matter to you.

Is the 60 Hz screen a problem?

For office work, browsing and photo editing, no. For fast-paced gaming or smooth scrolling, a 120 Hz panel is noticeably better, and this laptop does not offer one.

Does it come with a stylus?

The touchscreen works with an active stylus, but one is generally not included. Budget for a compatible pen if you plan to write or sketch.

Is Windows 11 Pro worth it over Home?

For business use, yes. Pro adds BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop hosting and domain join, which Home lacks.

How does it compare with the Vivobook Pro 16?

The Pro line adds discrete graphics for creative and gaming work. The S16 leans on its processor, memory and storage instead, so it suits heavy multitasking more than GPU-heavy tasks.
