ASUS introduced the Vivobook S 15 as the first Copilot+ computer notebook. As you know, the platform that Microsoft announced yesterday at the gate of its Build 2024 conference can use both Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors and Intel’s “Lunar Lake”.

For the premiere, ASUS opted for the ARM architecture and the Snapdragon X Elite, which is also used by the new Surface from Microsoft itself. As for the specific model, it is part of the Vivobook series with high consumption, a step below the magnificent Zenbook, but with some components that raise its level, such as an aluminum chassis or an OLED screen. We recently saw this in this analysis, and the Copilot+ PC version continues this premium line.
