The Vivobook S 14 is impressively slim, measuring just 1.39 cm in thickness and weighing only 1.3 kg. It features an all-metal chassis that combines portability and durability in a minimalist design. Equipped with Intel’s advanced Core Ultra processors from the Series 2 range, this Intel Evo-certified laptop offers up to 35 watts of thermal design power (TDP) and a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for efficient performance in AI-driven applications.

With up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, users can experience seamless multitasking and rapid file access, making this device ideal for both professional and personal tasks. ASUS’s IceCool cooling system, featuring dual heat pipes and IceBlade fans, ensures the laptop remains cool and efficient, even under demanding workloads.

For connectivity, the Vivobook S 14 supports the latest Wi-Fi 7, providing connection speeds up to 4.8 times faster than previous generations. It also supports multiple Bluetooth headphone connections for enhanced multimedia experiences. Its Thunderbolt 4 ports support high-speed data transfers and 4K display connections, adding to its versatility for both work and entertainment.

Immersive visuals and AI-powered creativity

ASUS has equipped the Vivobook S 14 with a 14-inch ASUS Lumina OLED display, offering Full HD resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate.
