Asus reveals the Vivobook S 15 and the ProArt PZ13
First up, let's explore something designed for general use. Asus has revealed the new Vivobook S 15, a Copilot+-enabled laptop that runs a Qualcomm Adreno GPU alongside a Snapdragon X Plus processor with 8 cores and 45 TOPS of AI processing power. It has a 15.6-inch OLED screen, with a 120HZ refresh rate, up to 600 nits of brightness, and emits 70% less blue light to keep your eyeballs safe.
The laptop also features 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and full Wi-Fi 7 compatibility. Given its lightweight design and quiet operation, the Vivobook S 15 seems like a perfect companion for the working professional. It weighs in with a $899.99 price point.
If you're after something you can do art on, Asus also has the suitably-named ProArt PZ13. This features the same processor, GPU, and RAM as the Vivobook, but instead comes with a 13.3-inch 3K OLED touchscreen with stylus support, making it a handy way to doodle on the go. Asus claims the battery can handle "up to 21 hours of FHD video playback," and it comes with a generous 1TB of SSD storage to keep all of your projects on. The ProArt PZ13 retails for $1099.99.
