ASUS today announced VivoBook S15 (S532), an ultraportable laptop featuring the innovative ASUS ScreenPad™2.0 secondary touchscreen[i]that enhances productivity, and five unconventional colour‑blocking finishes that add a dash of personality to mobile computing to appeal to a younger audience. The sleek metal chassis features unique design touches and includes the ErgoLift hinge design for comfortable typing.
This laptop incorporates the new frameless four‑sided NanoEdge display design that gives it a more compact dimension, and an immersive viewing experience thanks to an up to 88% screen‑to‑body ratio. Powered by up to Intel®Core™i7 processors and NVIDIA®GeForce®MX250 discrete graphics, this laptop also features up to a 1TB PCIe®SSD. This is also the first VivoBook model to feature an infrared (IR) camera, and Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax).
Improved productivity with ASUS ScreenPad 2.0
S15 is the first in the series to feature ScreenPad 2.0, the latest version of the innovative secondary touchscreen that enhances productivity and upgrades the laptop experience. Powered by the new ScreenXpert software, ScreenPad 2.0 now has a larger 5.65-inch touchscreen that offers many new features and benefits. This interactive secondary screen enhances productivity, allowing for more efficient workflow. It includes a collection of handy ASUS utilities to boost productivity: Quick Key enables one-tap automation of complex keyboard sequences, Handwriting for natural text input, and Number Key for rapid data entry. The revised smartphone-like interface is more intuitive for improved ease of use. Third party developers can also use the ASUS API to optimize their software and user experiences for ScreenPad. The hardware is now also more energy efficient than its predecessor, allowing for 2.5X longer battery life when ScreenPad is in use.
Design that defies convention
VivoBook S15 has a metal chassis finished in Moss Green, Punk Pink, Cobalt Blue, Transparent Silver or Gun Metal, with each colour featuring complementing accents to give the laptops colour‑blocking designs that really pop. The nature‑inspired Moss Green is paired with Energetic Orange accents to showcase the spirit of exploring the great outdoors, while the street‑styled Punk Pink with Moss Green trim represents the rebellious streak of a younger generation that’s not afraid to stand up for their beliefs. To appeal to a younger market, this is the first in the VivoBook range to feature the VivoBook logo on the lid, and the lid also features a tactile textured finish to further highlight the series’ different approach to computing.There are also intricate design touches like twill‑inspired vents and speakers on the underside of the chassis.
The NanoEdge display design provides VivoBook S15 with a more compact chassis footprint. Weighing just 1.8 kg, it easily slips into a messenger bag or backpack, making it perfect for users who are constantly on‑the‑go.
User‑friendly features
The frameless four‑sided NanoEdge displays provide VivoBook S15 with up to 5.2mm‑thin bezels and 88% screen‑to‑body ratios, giving more immersive visuals for work or play. The ErgoLift hinge tilts the keyboard by 3.5° to provide users with a more comfortable typing experience; its one‑piece construction also results in a much more durable hinge.
Intel-powered Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) delivers superfast networking speeds that are 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%. The built‑in IR camera offers hands-free face login: advanced biometrics work seamlessly with Windows Hello, allowing users to wake their laptops and log in with a simple look. In addition, Harman Kardon‑certified audio provides high‑quality detailed sound that’s second to none.
Celebrating uniqueness
VivoBook S14 and S15 also include stickers featuring unique designs and phrases that go well with each of the five different VivoBook colours, allowing younger users to further personalize their VivoBook.
AVAILABILITY & PRICING
ASUS VivoBook S15 will be available in Q3 in Canada. Pricing and configuration will be announced at launch.Please contact your local ASUS representative for further information.
