There’s something about desktop PCs that heavy users just can’t let go of. Having a large monitor and uninterrupted power are indispensable for work professionals, students, and entertainment junkies.
But what if we tell you that you can have all those advantages in the ASUS Vivobook S16? A laptop equipped with a huge screen, an efficient processor, and an incredibly long battery life — all packed in a form-factor that you can take anywhere for limitless productivity and entertainment experience.
So, if you’re ready to unplug and comfortably work from anywhere or share your favorite shows/movies with friends, check out the top features of the ASUS Vivobook S16 that make it a worthy and affordable alternative to your desktop PC.
Snapdragon X® processor: Reliable performance, incredible efficiency
At the heart of the ASUS Vivobook S16 is the Snapdragon X® processor, a chip that revolutionized the PC market with its incredible AI prowess and battery efficiency. It’s packed with 45 TOPS of NPU power and Qualcomm AI Engine.
Paired with a fast 16GB LPDDR5x 8448MHz RAM and the big 16-inch display, the Snapdragon X® handles multiple apps and browser tabs simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
This combo is great for, say, having one tab open for writing a Word document, another for your references, another for replying to messages, and another one with a video playing in the background just to keep you entertained while working. We did exactly that, and the device held up really well.
Forged for the modern age, the Snapdragon X® is a reliable companion for Windows’ AI features. With 45 TOPS of NPU, you can expect fast responses from the Copilot assistant, discover more with Windows Recall and the improved search, communicate with foreign clients better with live translations, and more.
The Snapdragon chip from the ASUS Vivobook S16 ensures you stay as productive as you are with your desktop PC at home. And when it’s time to relax and have fun, ASUS’ big and compact laptop still has your back with its beautiful screen that’s great for binge-watching your favorite shows.
70Wh battery: From day to night, with more to spare
As if the efficiency of the Snapdragon X® chip wasn’t enough, ASUS has equipped the Vivobook S16 with an enormous 70Wh battery to provide an uninterrupted multitasking and entertainment experience.
The ASUS Vivobook S16 can last for up to 32 hours on a single charge. Yes, this laptop can literally last you for an entire day, with more to spare for the next one. This assures you have enough power while working outdoors, in a coffee shop, on a long-haul flight, or camping in remote locations with no electricity.
Having this much power also means you don’t have to carry the charger everywhere you go. Owning the ASUS Vivobook S16 means you can travel lighter, not that the adapter it ships with is heavy, but you have the option to leave it.
In fact, the 65W adapter it comes with is one of the most compact laptop chargers we’ve ever seen. The best part is, it uses thes USB-C standard, so you can also use it for your smartphone, tablet, and other devices you might have.
Copilot+: Do more by working less
The ASUS Vivobook S16 is a Copilot+ PC that harmonizes the hardware and software to unlock seamless AI prowess.
As said earlier, the Snapdragon X® was designed to handle the AI features baked into Windows. One of them is the Copilot, a robust AI-driven search accessible via a dedicated key. It provides human-like answers to your queries and follow-ups, offers quick summaries, smart task management, and can even write emails and responses for you.
Copilot+ PCs also come with a souped-up Paint app. The Cocreator function can transform your ideas from simple sketches to real art. The Generative Fill and Erase lets you edit and manipulate photos with just a few clicks, saving you hours and money compared to using a separate editing tool.
These features, together with Windows Recall, Click to Do, Live Captions, and more, are subtle but powerful AI tools that will help you stay productive while making the most out of your precious time.
16-inch display: Be productive, be fully immersed
The ASUS Vivobook S16 has a 16-inch 2.5K WQXGA display, which is easily one of the biggest screens you can get in this segment.
Having a screen this large gives you a similar screen real estate to the monitor you might have at home, so you can comfortably adapt and switch to your on-the-go PC without sacrificing productivity. You can open the same number of tabs, look at graphs and tables, and more while you’re in other places.
The screen is so large that it makes for an immersive watching experience. You can park in an open space, pull out your camping chairs, and enjoy a movie with friends or loved ones outdoors with the huge and vibrant display of the ASUS Vivobook S16.
Thin, light, metallic frame: Stay portable and on the go
Despite its massive display and battery capacity, the ASUS Vivobook S16 is a handy and mobile laptop made for people who are always on the go.
This machine is only 1.59cm thin, just as thin as two phones stacked together. It also weighs 1.74kg, which is light for a 16-inch laptop. It would easily fit a backpack and can be pulled out like a breeze.
ASUS Vivobook S16 also has a clean and minimalist aesthetic with a CNC-engraved logo that stands out in this Metallic Matte Gray chassis. Apart from looking good, the frame was designed to survive the challenges of your day-to-day commute, outdoor usage, and more.
Those are the reasons why the ASUS Vivobook S16 is a great option for users who want a big-screen laptop with all the modern AI features, a killer 32-hour battery life — all without breaking the bank.
The ASUS Vivobook S16 with a Snapdragon X processor is available in the Philippines for only Php50,995. You can get it with an AMD or Intel chip, or go with the smaller Vivobook S14 with a 14-inch screen and an Intel CPU.
You can purchase this laptop at ASUS Concept Stores, multi-brand stores, and online. Each unit sold comes with ASUS A4 Quality and Service coverage, an ASUS exclusive backpack, a lifetime access to Office Home 2024, and a one (1) year Microsoft 365 Basic subscription.
