Asus VivoBook S15, VivoBook S14 With ‘NanoEdge’ Design Launched in India, Price Starts at Rs. 54,990

Asus has launched its lightweight Windows 10 laptops in India with a starting price of Rs. 54,990. The VivoBook S15 (S530) will be available from Asus while the VivoBook S14 (S430) will be an exclusive offering to Flipkart.

The laptops mark the first in the Asus VivoBook series to feature a three-sided NanoEdge design, which means the devices have narrow bezels along the top and sides of the display. The reduction of bezels allows Asus to maximize the screen real-estate without physically increasing the overall size of the device. Asus said “This gives S15 an 86 percent and S14 an 84 percent screen-to-body ratio, thus, offering an immersive experience in a compact package. The panels also feature wide-view technology and color reproduction for life-like visuals even when viewed from extreme positions.”

Asus VivoBook S15, VivoBook S14: Specs, Features

As far as the physical appearance goes, the 15.6-inch VivoBook S15 weighs 1.8kg while the 14-inch VivoBook S14 weighs 1.4kg with a side profile of just 18mm. Asus boasts that the larger S15 laptop has a full-sized keyboard with 1.4mm of key travel. Emphasis has been placed on comfortable typing as both laptops feature an ErgoLift hinge design, that helps lift the keyboard by 3.5-degrees, providing a typing experience you would expect to only be found when working on a desktop. The hinge also provides a dual function of extra ventilation to aid in cooling the laptop.

The ASUS VivoBook S15 fits the panel of a 15.6” Full HD display into a typical 14-inch laptop frame. This is possible due to the ultra-narrow 7.8mm NanoEdge bezel that gives it an incredible 80% screen-to-body ratio. The display also includes 178° wide-view technology to ensure that colors and contrast remain vivid and bold, even when viewed at sharp angles. It’s the perfect solution for sharing content with friends and colleagues.

“They can easily slip into laptop or travel bags, even backpacks and be one’s constant companions,” the company said in a statement.

Asus has also integrated a Windows Hello-certified optical fingerprint sensor directly into the touchpad to rival Apple’s TouchID that it just demoed on the latest MacBook Air and has been present in the MacBook Pro Touch Bar for some time.

The ASUS VivoBook S15 gives you the perfect combination of beauty and performance. With its slim NanoEdge bezel, brushed-metal finish, the latest Intel® Core i7 processor with up to 16GB RAM, and NVIDIA® GeForce® 940MX graphics, VivoBook S15 is designed for today’s fast-paced urban lifestyle.

In terms of specs, both laptops are powered by up to 8th-Generation Intel Core i7 processors and Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics. The company has also equipped the devices with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, USB Type-C (v3.1), USB Type-A (v3.1), HDMI, and microSD card connectivity options on both the VivoBook S15 and VivoBook S14 laptops. Quite refreshing to see on a laptop is the inclusion of fast charge technology that can deliver up to 60 percent charge in 49 minutes. It’s great Asus has included that in the laptops as these often see extensive charging times but a technology that has worked well in smartphones to reduce charging time will certainly benefit here.
