asus vivobook s15 is awesome. very light weight laptop with high end spec. I am using it over a year without a single issue. dual boot with windows and linux. put both os and important work in ssd. new ubuntu/mint boots almost in 3-4 seconds.

also if you switch between OSs, make sure to shut down windows machines properly using something like 'shutdown /s /f /t 0'. During installation, you need to tweak some bios settings to stop windows hibernating.

in modern ultra-slim laptops, battery is soldered. If you want removable battery, size and weight will be increased. asus laptop builds are not completely sturdy. you need to be a little careful but overall it is indeed a very good machine in given price.

Can you tell me more about what you mean by shutting down windows properly and stopping windows hibernating?

I dual boot Windows and Linux on my personal laptop (Lenovo Ideapad) and I have hibernate/suspend issues on my Linux side in multiple distros (both Manjaro and Antergos). I haven't figured out why. I'm wondering if it's related to what you said.
