ASUS are expanding their Lifestyle range of laptops today, with the launch of their new Vivobook and Zembook devices. 

Announced at CES earlier this year, the new range includes new premium Zenbook models, including the new ASUS Zenbook S 16 with OLED display, and the stunning new Zenbook A14 with the Ceraliminum coating infused in the upper and lower decks of the laptop. 

The lifestyle range also offers new options in the more affordable Vivobook range. Headlined by the Vivobook 14 and 16, these new models include Snapdragon X processors bringing AI options, as well as up to 20 hours of battery life.

Zenbook

The new Zenbook models include two new CoPilot+ PCs, the Zenbook S16 OLED and the Zenbook A14. 

Zenbook A14

The Zenbook A14 is a brilliant piece of hardware – which I’ve been using for a couple of weeks and you can check out our full review here. 

It’s a good looking piece of kit, but it’s got some grunt too. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series processors, it eats up any work on the web or in Office, as well as bringing a good media playback experience with the bright 14” OLED display. The Qualcomm Snapdragon also brings exceptionally good battery life. 

The Snapdragon X Series processors also include the  Hexagon NPU capable of up to 45 Trillion Operations Per Second (TOPS), making them AI ready, with Microsoft building experiences for AI into Windows thanks to the CoPilot+ platform. 

The Zenbook A14 is super light, weighing in at under 1kg, and looks great in two colour options: Iceland Grey & Zabriskie Beige. 

The good looks and comes with the durable Ceraluminum coating which is now infused in the lid, keyboard frame and bottom case. 

You can get a range of options for the ASUS Zenbook A14, with prices starting from $1,999. 

ASUS Zenbook S 16

Also launching today is the Zenbook S16, ‘the first ultrathin 16-inch new-era ASUS AI PC’ says ASUS on their website. 

The new thin and light model includes new high-tech Ceraluminum in the chassis and is just 1.1cm thin – a nice achievement for a 16” laptop. 

The Zenbook S16 includes a 16”  3K resolution ASUS Lumina OLED touch display and a very promising six-speaker audio system.

Under the hood you’ll find an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 Processor with Radeon graphics and an NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS. The laptop includes 16GB DDR5 RAM and 1TB Gen4 M.2 SSD on-board. 

Priced at $ 2,999, you can get your hands on the Zenbook S16 OLED from today.

Zenbook Availability

There’s only one configuration of the ASUS Zenbook S16 OLED, however you can find a number of options on the Zenbook A14.

The Vivobook range offers high-quality, yet affordable options for everyone, with the Vivobook 14 and 16 rocking some nice Snapdragon X processors offering a very nice 44% performance boost over the previous generation and up to 20 hours of battery life
