Asus is taking a bold step forward in the AI-powered computing space with the launch of its latest laptops in India—the Zenbook S16 and Vivobook 16. Both devices are engineered around AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, bringing advanced AI capabilities and Copilot+ PC features to elevate everyday productivity and performance. These new machines mark a significant addition to Asus’s AI PC lineup, offering users a taste of next-generation computing, whether they're seeking premium luxury or practical performance.
Leading the charge is the Asus Zenbook S16 (UM5606KA)—a sleek, high-end laptop designed for users who refuse to compromise on aesthetics or performance.
At the heart of the Zenbook S16 is a stunning 16-inch 3K OLED touchscreen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and hits 500 nits of HDR brightness, delivering vivid visuals with lifelike contrast. Despite its large display, the laptop stays impressively slim and light, measuring just 1.1 cm thick and weighing only 1.5 kg. The chassis is crafted with precision using CNC-machined components and a Ceraluminum lid, combining elegance with durability.
Under the hood, the Zenbook S16 runs on AMD’s new Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads, backed by the XDNA 2 NPU capable of 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second). This powerful AI engine is designed to accelerate everything from content creation to real-time collaboration tools. Graphics are handled by the integrated AMD Radeon 860M GPU, while the system packs 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD for ultra-fast performance and multitasking.
Connectivity is generous, with two USB4 Type-C ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Powering the machine is a 78Wh battery that supports fast Type-C charging, making it perfect for on-the-go professionals.
Additional highlights include:
For users who want to explore AI-enhanced computing without breaking the bank, the Vivobook 16 (M1607KA) offers an excellent alternative.
This model comes with a 16-inch IPS display offering a 1920 x 1200 resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio. It features 300 nits of brightness and an anti-glare coating, making it a comfortable choice for extended work or study sessions—even if it lacks the OLED brilliance of its elder sibling. The laptop is built for military-grade durability, weighs 1.88 kg, and maintains a slim 1.79 cm profile. It also features a 180-degree hinge, offering greater versatility in usage.
Powered by the same Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, the Vivobook 16 offers solid performance with 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. While slightly scaled down in terms of memory and display, it still packs all the core AI features, including support for Copilot+.
