The colorful ASUS VivoBook S14 and S15 announced from RM3199
ASUS’ latest laptops has just hit the deck, offering the 8th Gen Intel Core U processors in sleek designs measuring just 18mm thin. But the highlight of these laptops are not the size or the hardware in them, but the design. The ASUS VivoBook S15 (S531FL) is offered in a total of five colors, while the ASUS VivoBook S14 (S431FA) comes in two colors.
Available in colors like Moss Green, Punk Pink and Cobalt Blue, the ASUS VivoBook S15 is the perfect laptop to make a statement. The ASUS VivoBook S15 comes with a 15.6″ display while the VivoBook S14 sports a 14″ display, as you might expect. Both laptops sport the NanoEdge displays with up to 88% screen-to-body ratio for a compact footprint.
Above the display lies an IR camera for the most seamless login process you have ever experienced. Integrated with Windows Hello, all you need to do is glance at the camera and your laptop will be unlocked.
Interestingly, ASUS equipped the ASUS VivoBook S14 with arguably better specifications than the VivoBook S15, as you can see below:
