Now at IFA, the annual Berlin-based electronics tradeshow, Copilot+ PCs took center stage with Microsoft’s partners, including ASUS, which announced new Copilot+ PCs to their lineup of Zenbook and Vivobook laptops. Customers will begin to see Copilot+ PC experiences on these laptops starting later this year through free Windows Updates [1].
These new devices, equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processors with integrated NPUs delivering up to 48 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second), will bring unique AI capabilities to Windows 11.
The ultra-slim Zenbook S models are premium devices and ASUS’ slimmest 14-inch ultraportable at less than half an inch and 2.6 pounds. Featuring an outer lid crafted from an ASUS exclusive Ceraluminum material, the Zenbook S 14 combines the warm, tactile feel of ceramic with the strength of aluminum. Powerful performance comes with the device’s Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, achieving 48 NPU TOPS and offering the newest AI experiences. The sleek chassis houses a 3K 120 Hz Lumina OLED display, while a four-speaker sound system delivers cinematic audio experiences. AI noise cancelation ensures crystal-clear conference calls, and the FHD AiSense IR camera supports AI effects for enhanced video interactions.
Powered by up to Intel Core Ultra 7 processors with an AI engine of 47 NPU TOPS, the Vivobook S 14 excels in efficiently running AI applications. A dedicated Copilot key [2] provides quick AI assistance to optimize workflow, while a 75 Wh battery ensures up to 27 hours of unplugged use for all-day productivity. It’s all-metal chassis – all of 0.5 inches thick – protects two 97-blade IceBlade fans and two air vents, maintaining optimal performance without overheating, even under demanding workloads.
Intel Core Ultra 7 processors power the convertible Vivobook 14 Flip (with a 14-inch FHD NanoEdge touchscreen) and Vivobook 16 Flip (with a larger 16-inch 3K OLED display) laptops. A 360-degree hinge enables smooth transitions between laptop, tent, stand or tablet mode. Support for ASUS Pen 2.0 adds to its versatility. More features that make it a good choice for getting things done on the road: ultrafast Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and a wide range of I/O ports.
