ASUS has recently unveiled the Vivobook S 15 – a new laptop that integrates the latest AI capabilities of Windows 11. This sleek and portable PC is ASUS’ first “CoPilot+” device, designed to elevate productivity, creativity and entertainment through advanced AI features.
At the heart of the Vivobook S 15 beats the powerful Snapdragon X Elite chip from Qualcomm, featuring the custom Oryon CPU and built-in Hexagon AI accelerator. With a staggering 45 TOPS of AI processing power, it can effortlessly handle intensive on-device workloads like video editing and AI content creation.
The real stars of the show are the new Windows AI tools that the Vivobook S 15 integrates. These include Studio Effects for intelligent background blurring and noise removal on video calls, accurate live captions, and the AI Cocreator app that can transform sketches into polished digital artwork using generative AI.
But ASUS has gone a step further by developing its own exclusive AI applications too. The StoryCube app leverages AI to automatically sort, edit and manage photos/videos for easy curation. There’s also an AI-powered webcam that enables intelligent auto screen dimming when you look away and secure lock/unlock based on facial recognition.
Under the hood, the Vivobook S 15 is a powerhouse with up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and blazing-fast 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. The stunning 15.6-inch 3K 120Hz OLED display is a treat for the eyes, offering a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR600 support and a speedy 0.2ms response time. Harman Kardon-tuned audio with Dolby Atmos provides an immersive sound experience as well.
Despite packing so much performance, the Vivobook S 15 is incredibly portable at just 14.7mm thin and 1.42kg light. It boasts an all-metal chassis and the 70Wh battery lasts up to 18 hours on a charge. You also get the latest WiFi 7 connectivity.
“As ASUS embarks on this journey, marked by the launch of our first AI PC, we stand at the beginning of a new era of personal computing. The launch of our first ASUS Copilot+ PC powered by Snapdragon X Elite is an important milestone for us, and we believe that these devices are the future of consumer PCs and will drastically change the way we will work, study, create, and play.”
