![[LEVEL UP KL 24] From Development to Quality Assurance: How AI is Transforming the Gaming Industry, According to Microsoft’s Jun Shimoda](https://cdn.gamerbraves.com/2024/12/Jun-Shimoda_Interview_FI-360x180.jpg)
Asus has announced the VivoBook S14 (S431) and S15 (S531)! These are sleek, ultraportable laptops bearing unconventional colour-blocking designs and four-sided NanoEdge displays. The colours add personality, designed to appeal to the younger audience. The metal chassis is sleek with unique design touches, and has the ErgoLift hinge design for comfortable typing.
The new frameless NanoEdge displays gives more compact dimensions, providing an immersive viewing experience with up to 88% screen-to-body ratio. They are powered up by Intel Core i7 processors and NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics, along with up to 1TB PCIe SSD. These VivoBooks are also featuring an infrared (IR) camera and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for the first time!
Get the VivoBook S15 in Moss Green, Punk Pink, Cobalt Blue, Transparent Silver or Gun Metal. The VivoBook S14 will only be in Gun Metal and Transparent Silver. Pick the colour that best suits your personality! This VivoBook range will feature the VivoBook logo on the lid for the first time, alongside a tactile textured finish to highlight the series’ different approach to computing. Check out the intricate design touches like the twill-inspired vents and underside chassis speakers.
The NanoEdge display design lets the VivoBook have a more compact chassis footprint, with the S14 and S15 weighing just 1.4kg and 1.8kg respectively. The bezels are merely 5.2mm thin, for that 88% screen-to-body ratio. Just pop them into your backpack and you’re good to go! For typing, the ErgoLift hinge tilts the keyboard by 3.5° for a more comfortable typing experience on top of a more durable hinge.
Get superfast networking speeds with the Intel-powered Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax), up to 3x faster than Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), with 4X the network capacity and 75%-lower latency to reduce large 4K video transfer times by up to 70%. Use the built-in IR camera for hands-free face login, with advanced biometrics working seamlessly with Windows Hello for an easy look-and-login. Enjoy Harman Kardon‑certified audio, providing high‑quality detailed sound that’s second to none.
The VivoBook S14/S15 will also come with unique stickers and phrases to match with the VivoBook colours for even further personalization!
