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.
8Verdict
The Asus Vivobook S16 doesn’t aim to be the most powerful laptop in its segment. Instead, it focuses on getting the fundamentals right with a vibrant OLED display, dependable everyday performance, practical AI capabilities, and excellent usability.
The display is easily the biggest attraction, while Intel’s Core Ultra 5 processor delivers enough performance for office work, multitasking, coding, and content consumption. Copilot+ support, a comfortable keyboard, upgradeable memory, a fast SSD, generous connectivity, and solid battery life further strengthen the package.
Its biggest limitations are the 60Hz refresh rate and integrated graphics, making it less appealing for gamers or users with demanding creative workflows.
For professionals, students, and remote workers looking for a premium Windows productivity laptop with a large OLED display and future-ready AI features, the Asus Vivobook S16 is a well-rounded choice that successfully delivers on its promises.
