After sharing a teaser last week, ASUS has just dropped the new Ryzen AI series powered Vivobook S14 (M3407KA) and Vivobook 14 (M1407KA) in the Indian market. But alongside these new models, the company has also refreshed two of its existing Vivobook laptops with the latest gen Intel Core Ultra 2 series processors.

ASUS Vivobook S14 & Vivobook 14

Talking about the new launches first, the Vivobook S14 is the more expensive notebook with a 14-inch OLED screen that has an FHD+ resolution, 95% DCI P3 color gamut, and a 16:10 aspect ratio. On the other hand, the Vivobook 14 has a 14-inch LCD panel with FHD+ resolution and TÜV Rheinland certification for reduced blue light and flickering. Both models also arrive with military grade durability (MIL-STD 810H) and weigh under 1.5 kilograms.

However, the main highlight is the new AMD Ryzen AI series processor on both models. Like the new premium Zenbook 14, the duo comes with a starting Ryzen AI 5 chipset, which can be upgraded to a Ryzen AI 7. This is paired with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. ASUS powers the Vivobook S14 with a sizeable 70Whr battery pack, while the Vivobook 14 gets a smaller 42Whr cell. Other notable features include WiFi 6, Windows 11 Home, FHD IR camera with Windows Hello and privacy shutter, a 3.5mm audio jack, and 65W charging support.

Refreshed Vivobook 15 & Vivobook 14

Alongside these two new models, ASUS also brought refreshes to the existing Vivobook 15 (X1504VA) and Vivobook 14 (X1407CA) models. The two are similar to their predecessors in many ways, but the primary change is with their processors. The newer Vivobook 14 model packed the first gen Intel Core Ultra H series processors, which have now been upgraded to Core Ultra Series 2. So you can buy this model with an Intel Core Ultra 5 255H CPU. On the other hand, the larger 15.6-inch Vivobook 15 gets the low powered Intel Core i3-1315U since it’s a budget laptop.

Pricing Details

The ASUS Vivobook 14 (M1407KA) has a starting price tag of 65,990 INR, while the Vivobook S14 is being sold for 75,990 INR. These are available for purchase from the brand’s official website and Amazon India. Meanwhile, the Vivobook 14 (X1407CA) and Vivobook 15 (X1504VA-BQ323WS) are listed for 42,990 INR and 39,990 INR, respectively, on the ASUS e-store and Flipkart.

ASUS has been on a spree of laptop launches recently, announcing the Vivobook S16 and Vivobook 14 with Snapdragon X processors, and even a premium Zenbook 14 with the Ryzen AI 5.

Next-Gen ASUS Vivobook S14 & Vivobook 14 Launching Next Week

The tech giant just announced that it will be releasing the Vivobook S14 and Vivobook 14 models in the Indian market on 26th August 2025. A microsite dedicated to these notebooks just went live on Amazon with the lightweight metallic design and three color options, namely Cool Silver, Matte Gray, and Quite Blue. Furthermore, the company also revealed some finer details regarding these new laptops.

ASUS promises up to 23 hours of battery life thanks to a large 70Wh battery pack and up to an AMD Ryzen AI 7 processor. For those unaware, the Ryzen AI series is AMD’s latest gen processor that brings an NPU for AI processes along with a power efficient design that doesn’t compromise on performance either. Other notable features include Microsoft 2024 and M365 Basic, 1.4 kilogram lightweight build, and a slim 1.59cm body.

It is still unclear if most of these features are shared between the two, but there might be a few differences between the two. This may include storage configurations, chipsets, battery size, and display type. ASUS is known for its OLED laptops, so this might make a return on either the Vivobook S14 or Vivobook 14.
