    Hi, great review :) I have a concern between choose this model (S433FA) or the Asus VivoBook 14 X413FA, they look like the same but I know they aren't, I'll use the laptop for my office work and maybe for play some not much demanding games, but Im worry about the overheating, what of these do you recommend me ?

      I don't think the FA will have overheating issues in any case. At the same time, don't expect much in terms in gaming abilities, the FAs are Intel hardware only with UHD graphics.

    What are your thoughts on using this for running Photoshop and lightroom?
    Not heavy editing, just a few layers

      should be OK, but this platform would not be my first choice for this kind of loads

    Can I play GTA V on the core i5 + intel UHD versions at the lowest settings?

    How about the S14 M433IA-EB071TS model available here in Asia (with Ryzen 5 4500u or Ryzen 4700u) does this panel have a mediocre display?

      it's not available here and haven't touched that, so I don't know.

    Interesting to hear about the variations in screen models. Guessing the same might be the case with its bigger brother S533. Laptopmedia so far only reviewed a model with a mediocre panel however.

      they've also reviewed the S433 with the lower tier version, but panels might vary from region to region, and there's no way to tell for sure without perhaps asking the store
