The All New Asus Vivobook S15 and ProArt PZ13 Laptops

Asus has gone with a 70 Wh battery on the laptop, which they suggest should be capable of extending use for up to 19 hours between charges. The keyboard includes a single-zone RGB backlighting and a dedicated Copilot key, offering instant access to Asus’s suite of AI tools. For connectivity, the Vivobook S15 offers two USB-C ports, a USB-A port, HDMI 2.1, a microSD slot, and support for Wi-Fi 7.

Meanwhile, the Asus ProArt PZ13 is a pint-sized 2-in-1 device targeted specifically at creative professionals. It comes equipped with a 16:10 OLED touch display as well, stands at 13 inches, and displays vibrant colors very accurately. With a slim 9mm profile and lightweight at only 0.85kg, the ProArt PZ13 is easy to pack into any work bag or briefcase for added mobility.

It includes a removable keyboard case and is compatible with the optional Asus Pen 2.0 stylus for precise input. The device has an IP52 certification and is tough enough to survive — it features military-grade durability. Moreover, the ProArt PZ13 features 2 USB-C ports and an SD card reader, along with a modest 70 Wh battery supporting up to 21 hours of FHD video playback.

Both laptops leverage the Snapdragon X Plus processors, which deliver 45 TOPS of AI processing power and support up to three external monitors via the integrated GPU.
