Diverting
off from its Zenbook lineup, Asus outs the Vivobook S and Vivobook Pro in the
Philippines fresh from its respective international debuts in Computex 2017. Both machines come with powerful internals
found in the Zenbook line yet these line caters to the mid-tier laptop PC market. The
Asus Vivobook S promises better performance without sacrificing design with its
premium-looking chassis.
Asus Vivobook S
The
Vivobook S packs a 15.6-inch full HD 1920 x 1080p display with the company's
NanoEdge branding that boasts a 7.8-mm bezel. This is designed to maximize display
while keeping the laptop’s footprint significantly small. In fact, it only
comes with a 17.2-mm depth and weighs 1.5kg.
In
its gut, the laptop churns a 7th Generation Intel Core i7 processor. There's
also a generous addition of GeForce GT940MX graphics processor for gaming and video editing activities. A variant with an Intel Core
i5 is also available which could be more than enough to cover most of your
tasks.
In
terms of memory, the Asus Vivobook S boasts up to 1TB HDD with 256SDD internal
memory and 8GB of RAM. Both variants
come with a fingerprint sensor embedded in the trackpad which supports Windows
Hello. The
Asus Vivobook S also supports fast charging capabilities. It could stack up to
60 percent battery in just 49 minutes of charging.
