The AI PC era is gathering pace, with Microsoft pushing Copilot+ experiences across Windows and manufacturers responding with a new wave of AI-ready laptops. Asus has been quick to embrace this shift, refreshing its Vivobook lineup with Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors and dedicated NPUs.
Priced at Rs 1,22,990 (~$1,290) in India, the Asus Vivobook S16 (S3607AA-SH087WS) competes with premium productivity laptops from Lenovo, Dell, HP, and Acer, while inevitably drawing comparisons with Apple’s MacBook Air. After spending time with the laptop and running multiple benchmarks, here’s what the Vivobook S16 has to offer.
4Multiple connectivity ports
Despite its slim design, the Vivobook S16 includes a practical range of ports:
- 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
- 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C (DisplayPort + Power Delivery)
- HDMI 2.1
- 3.5mm headphone jack
The dual USB-C ports support charging and external displays, adding welcome flexibility for users who regularly connect monitors or docking stations. Wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, both of which performed reliably throughout testing.
