If you’re using a laptop with Windows 10 that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11, and also want to join the AI PC era, then check out the ASUS Vivobook S16 with AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 now which is at its lowest price of $999.99 for Amazon Prime members. It’s currently discounted by 17% from its $1,199.99 list price for the Prime Day event. The deal is unlikely to last after the end of the event so act quickly as today is the final day.
Notably, this is a Copilot+ PC laptop which means that it’s capable of using the new AI features coming to Windows such as Recall and Cocreate. It also has 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD which should ensure it’s very snappy and powerful enough to cut through many tasks.
The ASUS Vivobook S16 features the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor which has a XDNA neural processing unit capable of 50 TOPS of Ai processing power. This is a bit higher than some other laptop deals we’ve covered recently where they boasted 40 and 45 TOPS. This model, with its higher TOPS, could be better suited for the future.
The NPU is an important new component in laptops because it allows AI tasks to be run on the NPU which is specially designed to run these tasks efficiently. It also frees up the CPU and GPU to do the tasks they’re traditionally meant to handle. This laptop features an AMD Radeon 860M graphics card that is also optimized for AI workloads, gaming, and 4K video streaming.
The Vivobook S16 has a 16-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED display with 16:10 aspect ratio. It sports 600-nit peak HDR brightness, 100% DCI-p3 color gamut, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The laptop has a sleek and minimalist design, and anti-fingerprint metal has been chosen. The laptop is 0.55-inches thick and weighs just 3.31 lbs.
This laptop is also great for those working at night because it has a single-zone RGB backlit keyboard with numeric keypad and a larger touchpad.
Regarding hardware, the Vivobook S16 features a 75Wh battery with 14 hours of battery life, there’s an AI Sense camera with 1080p Full HD IR webcam that supports Windows Hello facial recognition and has a privacy shutter. There are Harman/Kardon and Dolby Atmos tuned Super Linear Speakers, and it supports Microsoft Pluton encryption and ASUS Adaptive Lock for security.
This laptop is ideal for students, professionals needing AI capabilities, and content creators on a budget. If you’re in one of these groups and looking to get your first AI PC, then this Prime Day discount could be a good option.
