If the plain ASUS Zenbook S isn’t up your alley,
you’ll be pleased to hear that ASUS has other laptops recently announced at
Computex 2018. One of these is the ASUS VivoBook S which will be offered in
either a 15.6-inch display or a more portable 14-inch display.
ASUS is going for points on looks with these
laptops. The company has opted to do away with “boring laptop colors” and have
gone for “striking hues that catch the eye” which are Firmament Green, Star
Grey, Silver Blue, Gun Metal, and Icicle Gold, with the former featuring a
textured woven finish around the keyboard while the latter has a brushed finish
with diamond-inspired motifs.
The design will feature NanoEdge displays which
means thinner bezels for the displays. So the laptops are smaller than your
average 15.6-inch or 14-inch laptops. These laptops use 8th Generation Intel
Core i7 processors with 16GB of RAM, NVIDIA GPUs, with the 15.6-inch model
allowing for dual-storage designs that give users both an SSD and HDD.
ASUS has not mentioned pricing for these laptops
yet, but the VivoBook S15 will be available in late June and ASUS will announce
the availability of the S14 at a later date.
