The first photos of the motherboard of the Asus Vivobook S 15 laptop, based on the Snapdragon X Elite SoC, have appeared on the Internet. 

In the pictures you can see the SoC crystal itself, which is relatively small, soldered RAM and slots for SSD. And in one of the photos you can see the cooling system, and it is worth paying special attention to.

It is clearly seen that the CO is quite large. These include two fans and several heat pipes. Of course, the cooling systems of powerful gaming laptops are much larger, but this is not the smallest. Let us remind you that according to the first third-party tests, the top-end Snapdragon X Elite can compete with the Apple M2/M3. Only the latter can also work with completely passive CO in the MacBook Air, but whether the Snapdragon X Elite can do the same is still completely unclear.
