ASUS VivoBook 15 S513 Ryzen 7 4700U 40GB 8TB NVMe laptop

Capacity and audience

The ASUS VivoBook 15 S513 pairs an 8-core Ryzen 7 4700U processor with 40GB of DDR4 memory and an 8TB PCIe NVMe SSD. This configuration targets creators and professionals who need a large local workspace for media libraries, virtual machines or data sets without relying on external drives. Buyers who want a dedicated graphics card or user-replaceable memory modules should look elsewhere.

Sustained workload behaviour

The processor runs at a 2.0 GHz base frequency and can boost to 4.10 GHz across its eight cores and 8MB of L3 cache. Integrated Radeon graphics share system memory, so performance scales with the 40GB DDR4 pool during long rendering or compile sessions. Thermal limits of the thin chassis will throttle clocks after extended heavy loads, so peak speeds are not maintained indefinitely.

Thermals noise and power

A 45 W power supply feeds the system and charges the 3-cell 42 Wh battery. Under typical office or streaming use the laptop stays quiet and surface temperatures remain comfortable. Fan noise rises noticeably when the CPU and integrated GPU are both saturated for long periods, and battery life drops sharply under that same sustained demand.
