The Vivobook S 15 S5507 is Asus’s first notebook based on the new Snapdragon X Elite chipset. It also happens to be the first machine we have gotten our hands on that is running on this new platform and certified for Windows Copilot+.
The Vivobook S 15 has a very unassuming appearance, looking no different than its x86 counterparts. The machine has a wide 15-inch, 16:9 display and the keyboard has a numpad on the side. The sizable touchpad is made out of glass.
The S5507 runs on the X1E 78 100 variant of the Snapdragon X Elite, which is currently the weakest one as it has the lowest clock speed and no higher boost clocks available. It still features the same 12-core design, however, with an Adreno X1 GPU. The S5507 combines it with 16GB LPDDR5X memory and 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, that’s replaceable.
Getting back to that 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 a FHD webcam up top with a sliding privacy cover and IR function for Windows Hello support.
The S5507 is no slouch when it comes to connectivity, with 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, 2x USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C ports, HDMI 2.1, headphone hack, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. It’s the widest range of ports we have come across in this family of devices as most competing models make do with just a couple of USB-C ports.
Finally, wrapping it all up is a 70Wh battery that supports up to 90W of fast charging over USB-C.
We are currently working on our review of the Asus Vivobook S 15 S5507. In the meantime, let us know if you want to see anything specific being tested on the new platform.
