Last year, Asus launched the Vivobook 13 Slate 2-in-1 convertible notebook with an attractive OLED panel and stylus support. The machine was overall a great package for creatives as well as regular users, as it could seamlessly switch between being an OLED tablet to being an OLED laptop.
The device has now received a much-needed refresh which replaces its Pentium Silver N6000 processors with Intel’s latest Alder Lake-N chips. The Vivobook 13 Slate 2-in-1 now comes with the Intel N200 and Intel Core i3-N300 processors. The N200 is a quad-core chip with 6 W TDP, while the i3-N300 has eight cores and 7 W TDP. Asus is reportedly enhancing the memory specifications by upgrading from LPDDR4X to LPDDR5, with a maximum capacity of 8GB. The storage options are rumored to be either 256GB UFS 2.1 or up to 512GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD. Additionally, users may be able to increase storage space through the use of a microSD card reader that is included.
Other specifications are the same as before, which means that the device has a 13.3-inch OLED screen with an FHD resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 266Hz touch sampling rate. It has a maximum brightness of 550 nits and supports Dolby Vision HDR, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. There is also support for ASUS Pen 2.0 Stylus.
The Vivobook 13 features the latest Windows 11 operating system and a detachable keyboard with a spacious trackpad and chiclet-style keys. It boasts a 13MP camera on the back and a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies, as well as a fingerprint reader for added security. The tablet is powered by a 50WHr battery with support for 65W fast charging and has four built-in speakers that are compatible with Dolby Atmos technology.
The Vivobook 13 retains its port selection, including 2 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports and an audio jack. The wireless connectivity has been improved, with an upgrade from Bluetooth 5.0 to 5.2. The availability and pricing of the refreshed models is yet to be announced.
