Thinking of giving Arm-based Windows laptops a try but the prices are a bit too steep? Then these new ASUS Vivobook S15 and ProArt PZ13 laptops may help you ease that concern a bit.
The two new models come with the lower budget Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus SoC instead of the Elite showcased during the first wave of debut. As such, the core count is now at 8 alongside a lower boost clock.
However, the powerful iGPU maintains its capabilities such as up to 3x external monitor display output alongside the innate NPU delivering 45 TOPS of AI performance.
Otherwise, ASUS is keeping the design and other parts more or less the same as other similar SKUs where the Vivobook S 15 still sporting that slim 14.7mm and 1.42kg metal body and nice screen while the ProArt PZ13 keeps the full black look, pro-grade screen, and various ProArt related software.
Here’s a quick look at the specs for both of them.
