Close on the footsteps of Microsoft’s Surface event, Asus announced its first Copilot+ PC laptop. Called the Vivobook S 15 (S5507), it is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X-series processors.
Asus says the Arm-based chip will make new AI-driven programmes and workloads work quickly with 45 TOPS of neural processing power.
The laptop comes with an OLED display, like on the previous Intel generation, but the new release will have a thinner chassis and display bezels. The S 15 can be bought with either a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite or 10-core X Plus processor.
The two S 15 configurations can handle up to 32GB onboard memory and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage and have two USB-A ports, two USB 4.0 Type-C ports, one HDMI 2.1, an audio / mic combo jack, and a microSD card reader. There’s also Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
This will be the company’s first device to come with its proprietary StoryCube app, which uses AI to sort, edit, manage, and export RAW photos and video files.
The Vivobook S15 will use AI in its AiSense IR webcam, with an Adaptive Dimming feature that dims the screen when you look away and an Adaptive Lock feature that auto-locks the laptop when you walk away, and auto-unlocks it when you come back.
