Resolute Red is a bold color that will smolder on any desk, while Gaia Green is a softer color inspired by nature. Dreamy White exudes sophistication and sets off the notebook’s accents. Finally, Indie Black makes a powerful statement with the contrast between its shadowy finish and bright display. As a final touch of expressive style, Asus color-block the Enter key on each VivoBook S notebook in yellow. Its precision-crafted all-metal chassis is not only sturdy and light, but a delight to hold.
The size of a person’s notebook tells you a lot about how they use it. With its 15.6†display, the VivoBook S15 offers the most screen space, so it’s the most practical choice for those who tend to multitask with two or more active windows on the screen at any given time. Its wider chassis also provides a more traditional typing experience. It’s not a large notebook by any means, though. Slim NanoEdge bezels allow us to keep the footprint of the VivoBook S15 surprisingly small.
The VivoBook S13 is a traveler’s dream. This notebook will sit on your desk all day if you insist. But it’s really made to keep up with you wherever you go, whether you’re hopping from class to class or juggling a full schedule of meetings and appointments. At only 14.9mm thin, the VivoBook S13 slips easily into a backpack or satchel and considering that it only weighs 1.2kg you’ll barely notice it’s there until you need it. 3.6mm-wide NanoEdge bezels frame the display, minimizing distractions and keeping you focused on your work.
All VivoBooks feature Intel’s 10th generation Core processors up to a Core i7. These processors provide lots of cores and threads for multitasking and highly parallel workloads, while also delivering the high single-threaded performance that’s needed for a snappy, responsive machine. Pair one of these CPUs with up to 16GB of RAM, and you’ll have a machine that handles complex spreadsheets, high-definition entertainment, or multitudes of browser windows without breaking a sweat. ■
