Asus says Arm-based chip will not only improve several current features Vivobook, but will also allow new AI-based apps and workloads to fly with 45 TOPS of neural processing power.
The new Asus Vivobook S 15 (S5507) – the company's first PC Copilot+ – will have the same OLED display as the previous generation with Intel (15.6 inches, 16:9, 2880 x 1620, 120Hz refresh rate and 600 nits maximum HDR brightness), but this particular version will have a thinner body and display bezels.
S 15 can be configured with a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite processor or a 10-core X Plus processor, although the Elite chip will be the base version – with a slower integrated GPU and no dual-core acceleration.
Both S 15 configurations will receive up to 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, as well as two USB-A ports, two USB 4.0 Type-C ports, one HDMI 2.1, audio/microphone combo jack and a microSD card reader. There is also Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
The Vivobook S 15 is the first Asus device to feature proprietary StoryCube software, which uses AI to sort, edit, manage and export photos and video files in RAW format. Asus also claims that Snapdragon NPU power will accelerate other AI workloads in programs such as Windows Studio Effects and Cocreator.
Asus is targeting its Vivobook computers at digital artists, graphic designers and other visual creators as a budget alternative to the ProArt series. Some Vivobook Pros have standalone GPUs, but most laptops use integrated graphics.
