Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now making its way into notebooks with Asus launching its first Copilot+ PC.
The Asus Vivobook S 15, is a 15.6-inch laptop with Windows 11 AI features and a Snapdragon X Elite processor with a powerful Neural Engine (NPU).
ASUS Co-CEO S.Y. Hsu said the company is at the beginning of a new era of personal computing.
“We believe that these devices are the future of consumer PCs and will drastically change the way we will work, study, create, and play.”
The laptop features a 3K 120 Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display, a Harman Kardon-certified audio system with Dolby Atmos sound, a single-zone RGB backlit keyboard, and a super-smart touchpad with scroll gestures.
One of the more unique aspects of this laptop compared to other Copilot+ devices is that it comes with a 15.6-inch 16:9 display,
This is not something you see much of these days, not to say that it’s a bad panel but a bit strange,.
It also offers portability, with a slim and light all-metal design, a high-capacity 70 Wh battery that lasts up to 18 hours, and ASUS USB-C Easy Charge.
