ASUS Vivobook S Series' Ultra-Slim, Lightweight Design Presents The Perfect Portable Companion
Lightweight but powerful, sleek yet packed with features — today's laptop users demand more than just portability and power. They need a device that can keep up with their pace of life, whether it's jumping between Zoom meetings, crafting presentations on the go, or taking a midday break to stream a favourite show, and a modern laptop needs to deliver performance without bulk, security without friction, and battery life that goes the distance. And when all of that comes wrapped in a minimal, travel-ready form that feels just as good in your hands as it looks on your desk? That's when a device stops being just a tool and starts becoming a companion. The ASUS Vivobook S series brings everyday computing into a smarter, lighter, and longer-lasting arena with the ASUS Vivobook S14 (S3407) and ASUS Vivobook S16 (S3607). Built to meet the evolving needs of students, professionals, and creatives on the go, the Vivobook S lineup is designed to be more than just a productivity, tool but also a sleek, intelligent companion built to match the pace and demands of modern life. With cutting-edge performance, refined design, and thoughtful features, the Vivobook S14 and S16 serves as the go-to laptops for users who expect more without compromising style or convenience. Weighing a mere 1.39 kg (3.06 lbs) and measuring just 1.59 cm (0.63 inches) at its thinnest point, the ASUS Vivobook S14 boasts an ultra-slim, metallic chassis that blends minimalist elegance with everyday practicality. Its larger sibling, the ASUS Vivobook S16, offers the same design ethos in a 1.59 cm thin form factor, while still staying incredibly light at just 1.80 kg (3.97 lbs). Under the hood, both machines are powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 255H (Series 2), delivering responsive multitasking and efficient power management. Whether you're working across multiple browser tabs, editing large video files, or switching between creative and productivity tools, the Vivobook S series keeps up effortlessly. A standout feature is the energy-efficient 70 WHrs battery, which supports up to 20 hours of use – more than enough to last through back-to-back meetings, study sessions, or long-haul flights, and if there is a need, fast-charging support gets the unit back up to 60% battery capacity in under 50 minutes. Each model includes a dedicated Microsoft Copilot key, offering one-click access to AI-powered assistance. It's part of ASUS's broader integration of intelligent features, such as an AI-powered camera that dims the screen when the user looks away, and Windows Hello for secure, password-free login. There's also a built-in privacy shutter on the front-facing camera, giving users peace of mind during downtime or virtual meetings. The ASUS Vivobook S14 features a vibrant FHD IPS display, while the ASUS Vivobook S16 adds an edge with a 144 Hz refresh rate and expansive 16:10 ratio. Both are designed with anti-glare and low blue light certifications to ensure eye comfort during extended use, which means these screens are perfect for work and play, be it a spreadsheet marathon or a binge-watch session. ASUS has also refined everyday interactions, with a larger touchpad and smart gesture support that simplifies navigation. Meanwhile, full-sized I/O ports reduce the need for dongles, making both models excellent travel companions. File access and cross-device functionality are made seamless with Microsoft Phone Link, letting users handle calls, messages, and media across devices without missing a beat. Starting at S$1,599 for both the ASUS Vivobook S14 and ASUS Vivobook S16, these laptops deliver significant value for those seeking premium design and powerful performance in a portable package. Whether you prefer the compact ASUS Vivobook S14 or the immersive ASUS Vivobook S16, both models are ready to meet the demands of daily life with style, intelligence, and reliability at their core.
