The Vivobook S 15, Asus’ first Copilot+ PC, normally retails for $1,299, but is on sale on Amazon for $999.
It’s sleek and lightweight with a gorgeous OLED display, great battery life, and snappy performance.
The nature of Windows on ARM laptops means it’s not yet optimized for certain apps and games.
Asus’ first Copilot+ PC with the Snapdragon X Elite chip is the Vivobook S 15<!–>, a sleek and lightweight 15-inch laptop with a gorgeous display and ultra-snappy performance. Right now, it’s currently $200 off the regular price, making it a steal for some of the newest processor technology on the market.
The chassis’ minimalist, all-metal design is lightweight and airy, and it feels more premium than last year’s Vivobook S 14. It’s only 0.58 inches at its thinnest point, and it weighs just 3.13 pounds, making it particularly well-suited for hybrid or remote workers who want a powerful laptop with a gorgeous display that doesn’t weigh a ton.
Like all of the new Windows on ARM laptops released this summer, the Vivobook S 15 is fast and responsive with nice battery life, but it comes with new technology that isn’t fully optimized for all tasks quite yet, which could limit its use case for some users.
For the average consumer, however, this is the epitome of a laptop that looks and feels good right out of the box, and it starts with the brilliant 3K OLED display.
With an 89% screen-to-body ratio and ultra-thin bezels, the screen is brilliant and high-contrast, rocking a max 600-nit brightness and 120Hz refresh rate for some silky-smooth and crisp image quality.
The display’s 16:9 resolution gives it that premium widescreen feel, lending itself well to both watching and editing media, but it might not be for everyone. Most 15-inch laptops come with a 16:10 resolution, which might feel more “natural” for some, but ultimately the distinction is subtle.
