The Vivobook S 15 S5507 is Asus’ first laptop based on the new Snapdragon X Elite chipset. It’s also the first machine we’ve gotten our hands on that’s running on this new platform and certified for Windows Copilot+.
The Vivobook S 15 has a very modest appearance, looking no different from its x86 counterparts. The machine has a wide 15-inch, 16:9 screen, and the keyboard has a number pad on the side. The sizable touchpad is made of glass.
The S5507 runs on the X1E 78 100 variant of the Snapdragon X Elite, which is currently the weakest as it has the lowest clock speed and no higher boost clock available. It still features the same 12-core design, however, with an Adreno X1 GPU. The S5507 pairs this with 16GB LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, which is replaceable.
Coming back to the aforementioned display, you get a 2880×1620 120Hz OLED panel with 600 nits peak brightness and 0.2ms response times. It’s currently one of the best-specced displays in the Snapdragon X Elite family of devices. You also get an FHD webcam up top with a sliding privacy cover and IR functionality for Windows Hello support.
The S5507 doesn’t slack off when it comes to connectivity, with 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, 2 USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C ports, HDMI 2.1, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. It’s the widest array of ports we’ve seen in this family of devices, as most competing models make do with just a handful of USB-C ports.
Finally, to top it off, we have a 70 Wh battery that supports up to 90 W fast charging via USB-C.
We’re currently working on our review of the Asus Vivobook S 15 S5507. In the meantime, let us know if you’d like to see anything specific tested on the new platform.
