Asus Copilot+ Laptop With OLED Display Is on Sale Right Now for $550
A laptop may be a simple tool, but the Asus Vivobook S 15 goes beyond that with an exceptional OLED display, lightweight design, premium materials and updates provided by Microsoft’s Copilot+ program. While this feature set would typically cost around $1,000, this deal from Best Buy puts the Vivobook S 15 at just $550 after a $350 discount.
The Vivobook S 15 is a lightweight computer, weighing just over three pounds, which is fairly modest for a system with a 15.6-inch display. Asus even opted for an aluminum chassis for this model, a big step up from the plastic designs I’d usually expect at this price. And while the Vivobook S 15 is only 0.63 inches thin, Asus packs a generous array of ports, including two USB4 ports and a full-size HDMI. You also get a webcam with IR emitters to support Windows Hello facial recognition, one of the most convenient ways to log in to a laptop I’ve encountered in all my years of testing them.
Perhaps the star of the show is this display. It’s an OLED panel that delivers stunning images when watching TV, movies, or playing games. Here again, I was expecting a simpler 1080p display with a 60Hz refresh rate, but Asus has pulled out all the stops with a 2880×1620 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate that makes everything look crisp, smooth, and stunning.
Powering this configuration of the Vivobook S 15 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 processor, which isn’t the most mind-blowingly fast processor, but it handles most basic computing tasks quite well. For everyday browsing, online research and content streaming, it’s up to the task. It also features an NPU that provides Microsoft Copilot+ features such as image generation, document analysis, live translation and a growing set of tools. For some, the more important aspect of this chip will be its efficiency, which will allow the Vivobook S 15 to last longer on battery life.
