    Think of the ROG Xbox Ally series as the sweet spot between console and PC gaming. Both handhelds are powered by AMD’s new Ryzen Z2 processors, making them faster, cooler, and more efficient than ever.

    The ROG Xbox Ally comes with an AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor, perfect for smooth gameplay with long battery life. The ROG Xbox Ally X, on the other hand, is the powerhouse of the pair, featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor for high-performance gaming that doesn’t miss a beat.

    And yes, both models come fully equipped for Xbox Cloud Gaming and Game Pass, so your favorite titles are literally in your hands.

    Designed for Comfort and Control

    ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X

    Remember when handheld gaming meant cramped fingers after a few hours? Not anymore. The ROG Xbox Ally series introduces a redesigned chassis inspired by the ergonomics of Xbox controllers. It’s more comfortable to hold, easier to grip, and feels just right for long sessions. Gaming on handheld is a very personal experience, and comfort in the hand is a key pillar of a well-designed device. With years of feedback on the original Ally and Ally X, the ROG Xbox Ally series offers a more comfortable grip than ever, inspired by Xbox. With a redesigned palm rest and texturing patterns to keep gamers locked on target, the ROG Xbox Ally series truly raises the bar for comfort with a handheld gaming device.

    The ROG Xbox Ally X also features impulse triggers, improving the haptics in supported games. These triggers allow for more nuance and immersion and are a feature that Xbox gamers have come to expect with their controllers. These devices are the most comfortable and immersive handhelds ever built by ROG.

    A True Xbox Experience on the Go

    ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X

    The ROG Xbox Ally series doesn’t just play Xbox games, it feels like Xbox. Once you power on the device, you’re greeted by the full-screen Xbox interface that makes navigating and playing games a breeze. “We wanted to create an authentic Xbox experience in a handheld form factor,” explained Roanne Sones, CVP at Xbox. “With ROG, we made it happen on the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.”

    This system runs on Windows 11, which means you get the best of both worlds: an optimized Xbox experience and the freedom to play PC games, access mods, or run other apps. Quick settings, customizable widgets, and easy joystick navigation make the entire experience smoother than ever. Quick access to settings and customizable widgets is available via Game Bar with a single press of the Xbox button. But with the full freedom of Windows 11 running under the hood, games and mods from other sources are still easily accessible. The ROG Xbox Ally series offers the power of Xbox, the craftsmanship of ROG, and the versatility of Windows, all in one cohesive device.

    Performance That Packs a Punch

    ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X

    If you’re looking for performance that can handle the latest titles, the ROG Xbox Ally X is built for you. With AMD’s Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip, it’s ready for next-gen gaming with breathtaking graphics, AI-enhanced gameplay, and extended battery life. Combined with software optimizations from the new Xbox experience, the ROG Xbox Ally X stands ready to provide gamers with next-gen handheld performance.

    “ASUS and AMD share a deep-rooted, decades-long commitment to innovation and co-engineering, pushing the boundaries of high-performance computing for gamers,” said Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Computing and Graphics Group at AMD. “Advancing handheld PC gaming has been a personal passion for me, and our team was super excited to partner so naturally with Xbox and ASUS to take our vision even further. With ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, we are combining the best of AMD’s silicon, ASUS’s design expertise, and Xbox’s gaming ecosystem. Powered by the Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, the ROG Xbox Ally X delivers breathtaking graphics, extended battery life, and truly portable performance—empowering gamers everywhere to play without limits—anytime, anywhere.”

    The ROG Xbox Ally offers console-caliber performance with its AMD Ryzen Z2 A Processor. At the same time, its ultra-efficient design at low wattages while its 60Wh battery produces improved battery life. Meanwhile, the ROG Xbox Ally X takes performance to greater heights, offering more room for graphical fidelity at higher framerates with the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Processor.

    Both chips take full advantage of AMD’s latest software suite for graphics and performance improvements, including AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), Radeon Super Resolution (RSR), and AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) frame generation, the latter of which can offer better framerates for improved smoothness.

    Optimized for Every Game You Love

    ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X

    Worried about compatibility? Xbox has been busy behind the scenes ensuring that thousands of PC titles play perfectly on handheld. Games in the Xbox library now come labeled with “Handheld Optimized” or “Mostly Compatible” badges, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. This new Handheld Compatibility Program ensures day-one users have the best experience possible on their ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. At launch, compatible games in the game library will sport Handheld Optimized or Mostly Compatible badges.

    Handheld Optimized means that the game is ready to go — with default controller inputs, an intuitive text input method, accurate iconography, clear text legibility, and appropriate resolution in full-screen mode. Mostly Compatible means that the game may require minor in-game setting changes for an optimal experience on handheld.

    The Xbox team is also bringing advanced shader delivery to the ROG Xbox Ally. This allows the Xbox app to preload a game’s shaders during download, so supported games will launch up to 10x faster, run more smoothly, and use less battery on first play. Xbox is working on adding this feature to even more games over time.

    The ROG Xbox Ally X also features AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor with a built-in NPU, that unlocks upcoming AI powered features starting early next year — with more to come. These features include:

    • Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR): a system-level feature that uses the power of the NPU to upscale games running at lower resolutions. This delivers high-resolution visuals and smooth framerates across a wide range of games, with no additional changes required from game developers.
    • Highlight reels: AI captures standout gameplay moments — like epic boss battles or victories — and generates short replay clips to share with friends or on social channels.

    A case designed for Xbox handhelds

    ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X

    Designed for the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, the ROG Xbox Ally 2-in-1 Premium Case is a hard-shell case created to protect the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X from the wears and tears of everyday life. The case features a water-resistant shell, weather-proof zipper design, and a soft inner lining – keeping the devices safe from unwanted spills and secure from sudden bumps. A detachable accessory pouch is included to carry the 65W charging adapter snuggly and can be removed for the ease of lightness.

    Pricing and Where to Buy

    Good news for gamers: both handhelds are now available nationwide.

    ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X

    Both the ROG Xbox Ally X, officially priced at PHP 56,995, and ROG Xbox Ally, at PHP 36,995, will be available in the Philippines starting October 16, 2025, together with an exclusive Game Pass subscription and ASUS’ award-winning standard service package, which features a 2-year international warranty.

  • Zenbook A14 Review: Full-Fledged AI Laptop in Featherweight Form

    Zenbook A14 Review: Full-Fledged AI Laptop in Featherweight Form

    ASUS proves yet again that it is a top contender in today’s Copilot+ PC market with their latest and lightest AI PC to date, the Zenbook A14.

    Weighing less than a kilogram, the Zenbook A14 crushes competition in terms of portability and convenience. Yet it doesn’t cut corners in screen real estate and performance, boasting a 14-inch display and a powerful Snapdragon X processor.

    General Photo

    Before its local release here in the Philippines, ASUS gave us the opportunity to have hands-on experience with the Zenbook A14 (UX3407QA) for a week.

    Here are our thoughts on ASUS’ lightest AI PC yet.

    First Impressions: Peak Portability, Sophisticated Style

    I was well-aware of the Zenbook A14’s next-level lightness but holding it for the first time was still a pleasant surprise.

    It weighs less than a kilogram and is about 0.5” thin. On paper, it’s expected to weigh around 899g, but our test unit was even lighter at 892g.

    I can easily lift it with one hand and carry it around without breaking a sweat. You’ll feel the lightness even more when you handle it with the lid open.

    Weighing

    With this build, the Zenbook A14 easily takes the lead in the realm of ultraportable laptops. So if you’re someone who constantly carries a laptop in your bag, upgrading to ASUS’ new AI PC will instantly improve your quality of life.

    Hand Holding the Laptop

    The feel and style of the Zenbook A14’s chassis did not disappoint either.

    Its full chassis is made of ASUS’ patented Ceraluminum™ material. It combines aluminum with ceramic’s rich texture and lightness, resulting in a fingerprint-resistant finish with weightlessness that still feels very premium.

    Lit Close up

    As for its aesthetic appeal, this Zabriskie Beige variant stands out with its elegant neutral tone that’s reminiscent of sandstone and goes well with the laptop’s matte texture.

    They also have the Iceland Gray variant which sports a more classic color that’s just as sophisticated.

    EasyLift to a Sizeable Screen

    Opening up the laptop has been made effortless with the ASUS EasyLift Hinge, which allows you to lift the lid smoothly and wobble-free with a single finger.

    The laptop hinge is often an overlooked detail, but this kind of improvement was something I didn’t know I wanted until I experienced it first-hand.

    EasyLift Hinge

    Onto the screen, this new ASUS laptop has a 14-inch WUXGA IPS (1920 x 1200) display with 90% screen-to-body ratio.

    This screen setup has a very good display despite not being OLED-equipped locally, which also aligns with its lower price point among flagships.

    Its strength also comes from the fact that the Zenbook A14 gets to be the lightest but it didn’t resort to a smaller 13-inch screen. Instead, its 14-inch size is the right balance between substantial and compact.

    The 16:10 aspect ratio even offers additional productivity advantage with its added vertical space for reading web pages and documents.

    Screen

    The laptop also has a snappy 60Hz refresh rate, vivid 100% sRGB color gamut, and TÜV Rheinland certification for your eye protection.

    The brightness goes up to 400 nits, which is fairly bright even in well-lit areas. As long as I had shade over the laptop, there was no bothersome glare while I worked at its maximum brightness.

    Media Consumption

    Its dual super-linear speakers are also pretty loud and clear for a laptop this light, which complements the display when it comes to media consumption.

    Smooth Typing and Touch

    Working with Zenbook A14’s keyboard and touchpad also offers comfort and convenience.

    I can type away smoothly with its short key travel and quick feedback. Typing feels soft and subtly clicky. It isn’t too loud and distracting which makes it perfect for shared spaces like offices, libraries, and coffee shops.

    Working alone, this laptop still has the satisfying clicks of the keyboard that further motivate my writing when in a flow state.

    Keyboard

    Working in darker environments is not a problem as the keyboard backlight has three levels of brightness.

    The touchpad is also made larger, with handy smart gestures that make volume, brightness, and playback adjustments easily accessible.

    Heavyweight on AI Capabilities

    Under the hood, the featherweight Zenbook A14 is run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X X1 processor that’s designed for powerful AI computing. It’s backed by 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD.

    The Qualcomm Hexagon NPU also offers up to 45 TOPS that boosts its generative AI performance and speed.

    Snapdragon

    You can pull up the Copilot AI Chatbot with just a click of the dedicated button beside the right Alt key. Responses are fast and concise as long as you ask it with specific and straightforward questions.

    I didn’t encounter inaccurate or outdated information, and it usually adds reference links so you know you get credible sources.

    Copilot Image Generation

    Generating images is also fairly fast and precise in its details. Just make sure you write your prompts clearly and keep it within community standards.

    Using the microphone to interact with the AI chatbot has also come a long way, Copilot’s speaking voice will make you think that you’re talking to an actual human. I even used Filipino to talk with it and it answered in our language.

    But the Zenbook A14’s AI capabilities are not limited to the Copilot chat. It’s also equipped with a variety of built-in AI tools that make PC use more seamless and productive:

    • Paint Features: Generate images from text or using your own scribbles using Paint’s Cocreator. The app is also now capable of Generative Fill and Erase.
    • Photos App Features: Generate photos with Image Creator; turn images into different styles with Restyle Image; and turn blurry photos into crisp images with Super Resolution.
    • Windows Studio Effects: Control your camera’s lighting and background filter which automatically applies to all your video calls, whatever the platform.
    • Live Captions: Get real-time subtitles and translations on your calls.
    Photos App

    Windows continues to develop more exciting updates for Copilot+ PCs with the following AI tools slated to further streamline your workflows and organize your digital workspace:

    • Recall: This app creates a timeline of your PC screen snapshots. When you need to find something you saw on your screen, whether it’s in an email, webpage, or document, you simply describe it and the AI will find it for you instantly.
    • Improved Windows Search: Looking for your files is no longer constrained to specific file names and content. Just describe what’s in the photo or file you’re looking for in your own words and Windows Search can now understand it.
    • Click to Do: This feature offers advanced options when you click on a type of content. You can swiftly rewrite and refine text, remove or blur image backgrounds, and so much more with just a click.

    Even without the use of its AI capabilities, the Zenbook A14 is also an excellent daily driver PC. Working with multiple tabs is a breeze while the lightweight dual fan setup keeps the ultraportable cooled and quiet.

    Zenbook Back

    Its performance also doesn’t change whether it’s plugged or running on battery. Work with your PC’s full potential even when you’re out and about and far from the nearest electric outlet.

    For a closer look at how this AI PC fares in terms of processing power, here are our unit’s benchmark scores:

    CineBench R23 – 916 (Single-Core); 4960 (Multi-Core)
    GeekBench 6 – 2110 (Single-Core); 10540 (Multi-Core)

    Ports & Power for On-The-Go Professionals

    When an ultraportable pushes its boundaries, connectivity is usually compromised. ASUS made sure that you still have access to PC peripherals with the Zenbook A14’s full lineup of ports.

    On its left is an HDMI 2.1 port, 3.5mm combo audio jack, and two type-C USB 4 ports with display and power delivery. Meanwhile, on the right side is a single type-A USB 3.2 port.

    Right Port
    Left Ports

    Powering this laptop is a lightweight 48Wh battery that takes advantage of the Snapdragon X chip’s generally lower battery consumption.

    The Zenbook A14 promises up to 23 hours of offline video playback, but we also tested it for its intended use.

    The usual productivity tasks such as browsing the internet and typing documents consumed 11% to 13% of the battery every hour. Interacting with Copilot, the laptop lost only 5% of battery at the 30-minute mark.

    Battery Settings

    As for media consumption, watching videos online decreased the battery by 9% every hour.

    All these tests were done under Balanced Mode and with settings that suited my well-lit and quiet workspace: 40% brightness and 50% volume. If you want to save battery, you can always switch to Best Power Efficiency mode.

    Juicing up the laptop is a very compact 65W fast charger with the Ultra Mini Universal Adapter. When powered off, I got my test unit charged from 0% to 55% in just 30 minutes, and to 86% in the 1-hour mark.

    Charger

    The Zenbook A14 didn’t just showcase portability through its weight, it’s also highly flexible with its array of ports, and balances lightness with long-lasting productivity.

    Our Verdict: Today’s Lightest AI PC Goes Beyond The Grams

    It’s an impressive feat that the Zenbook A14 achieved a featherweight form that even beats 13-inch ultraportables. And it didn’t lose its Zenbook identity in the process, remaining a full-fledged 14-inch laptop with a stylish look and even more AI capabilities.

    With the Snapdragon X chip at its core, they were able to tuck in a smaller battery that doesn’t drain as fast while the dedicated 45 TOPS NPU works wonders in bringing the full power of a Copilot+ PC to your fingertips.

    Whether you’re a student, an office professional, or a digital nomad, this laptop makes both physical and digital work a lot lighter without breaking the bank.

    The Zenbook A14 is truly built for the kind of productivity that takes you places.

    REVIEW: The ASUS Vivobook S 15 Lets You Take the Power of AI Anywhere

    The latest innovations in AI have truly revolutionized the digital landscape. This is why when looking for a laptop, an AI PC is a true game-changer in both productivity and creativity.

    PC powerhouse ASUS integrates this cutting-edge technology into their already impressive laptops with the new ASUS Vivobook S 15. Aside from being the brand’s first Copilot+ PC and having a Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip powering it, there are a lot of exciting features to unwrap in this AI PC from ASUS.

    Front

    We recently got our hands on the ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507) which runs on the Snapdragon X Plus. Here are our thoughts about this new AI-powered laptop.

    First Impressions

    Out of the box, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 is a charmer with its 15” surface (13.88″ width x 8.93″ depth) that feels premium to the touch. It has the Cool Silver color which looks clean with just a subtle branding of “ASUS Vivobook” to give it an identity.

    Laptop Closed

    The hinge side of the monitor’s back panel also has a slight inward step which is always a nice touch compared to the usual fully rectangle lid of most laptops.

    Laptop Closed 2

    Pulling it out and carrying it around feels just right. It is slim and fairly light at 1.42 kg, but it also has a weight to it that feels premium and sturdy.

    I also like that it has a metal chassis, which is more reassuring when I’m out and about compared to having a plastic-bodied laptop in my bag.

    Add the flexibility of the device’s 180-degree hinge, and the Vivobook S 15 is a highly portable and efficient productivity companion for students, digital nomads, and workers of different setups, be it at home, onsite, or a mix of both.

    180 Hinge

    Stylish RGB Keyboard & Smart Gesture Touchpad

    When you open up the laptop, you’ll be greeted by the 15.6-inch display along with the keyboard and touchpad combo.

    Whole

    The full keyboard offers comfort and speed for both number crunchers and wordsmiths. It offers 1.7mm key travel and minimal sound, perfect for working even in shared spaces.

    A dedicated AI button sits beside the arrow keys, keeping your AI tools within reach all the time. More details on this later.

    While the laptop’s back panel keeps things simple, the single-zone RGB backlight of its keyboard adds flair to your setup when at work. Set the mood with your chosen color and mode, which is available in Solid Color, Strobing, Breathing, or Rainbow.

    Keyboard 1

    The touchpad space is quite generous and comes with smart gestures to control volume, brightness, playback speed, and window navigation.

    An Ultra-Vivid OLED Display

    Now onto the display, the Vivobook S 15 has a 15.6-inch 3K OLED display (2880 x 1620) with 89% screen-to-body ratio and 120Hz refresh rate.

    Combining the OLED display and 3K resolution along with the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut really ups the viewing experience. The colors are vivid, contrast is crisp, and highlights just pop. Streaming videos, gaming, and doing creative work is a delight with this device.

    With plant

    The laptop’s brightness goes up to 600 nits. I tested it under a small shade outdoors and I can still see what I’m working on pretty clearly at maximum brightness. It also has TÜV Rheinland low blue-light certification to ensure your eyes are protected.

    This laptop still has the 16:9 aspect ratio, but with this quality of display and other impressive specs and features, I don’t see it as a dealbreaker.

    Streaming 2
    Streaming

    Display is definitely one of the Vivobook S 15’s strongest suits. Whether you’re working in a room or al fresco, this laptop delivers a punchy display to power your productivity wherever you go.

    Strong Speakers, Clear Calls, and Swift Connectivity

    The Vivobook S 15 comes equipped with Harman Kardon speakers to complement the vivid viewing experience.

    Even with the speakers being placed on the underside of the laptop, the sound still comes out loud and clear. When elevated, the sound comes out even better. You can also fine-tune these speakers via the Dolby Access app.

    The laptop’s full HD IR camera and microphone with AI Noise Cancellation allow for clearer conference calls. The camera also has a sliding shutter for added privacy and security.

    For connectivity, the Vivobook S 15 is also packed with ports for your needs.

    Port 2

    On the left are the HDMI 2.1 port, two USB4 Type-C ports with display and power support, a MicroSD card reader, and an audio jack. On the right side are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and indicator lights.

    Port 1

    It also combines Wi-Fi 7 and the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 technology for an ultra-fast internet connection while its Bluetooth allows you to use three headphones simultaneously.

    Powerful & Long-Lasting Performance

    Let’s talk about power and performance. The Vivobook S 15 joins the curated lineup of laptops that sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip. In our case, it’s the Snapdragon X Plus, while the pricier S5507-MA032WSM variant has the more powerful Snapdragon X Elite.

    Snapdragon

    Tailored for AI computing, the Snapdragon X lineup proves to be a worthy rising competitor for the Intel, AMD, and Apple M chips.

    Both the Snapdragon X Plus and Elite variants of the Vivobook S 15 are also complemented by 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD for peak performance.

    Multitasking with productivity tools and browsing with over ten tabs both went smoothly. I also tested video editing tools such as CapCut and DaVinci Resolve, which both worked without issues.

    Video Editing

    Casual gaming can also be a treat with this device. I played the fast-paced Hades and the 3D game Honkai Impact 3rd, and they both ran smoothly even with Max settings. I did encounter compatibility issues with the game Valorant, which just refused to launch.

    Hades

    I also played Honkai: Star Rail which needed a lower resolution to run without frame drops. Thanks to the OLED display though, the game still looks fantastic and bursting with vivid colors.

    ASUS’ IceCool thermal technology also seems to work well, as the laptop didn’t heat up significantly after multiple hours of play and I never noticed any fan noise.

    Honkai

    For a closer look in its performance, here are the unit’s benchmark scores while in Performance mode:

    Cinebench R23 – 6593 (Multi Core); 1087 (Single Core)
    Geekbench 6 – 11032 (Multi Core); 2288 (Single Core)

    Battery life is impressive too. The 70 Wh high-capacity battery promises over 18 hours of use. In my hands-on experience, the battery went down by 10% to 12% per hour when working and streaming (80% volume and 50% brightness). When playing performance-heavy games, it went down 12% to 15% every 30 minutes.

    These are with the battery’s Balanced Mode, but you can prolong the use of your laptop with the Best Power Efficiency mode.

    Battery

    It supports USB fast charging and upon trying it out, the laptop juiced up from zero to about 50% in just 30 minutes when not in use. When using it for work or gaming, it charged 50% after an hour.

    With the Vivobook S 15, you can do your daily tasks and play casual games anywhere you go for long hours without a hitch. With its AI capabilities, you can do your tasks even faster.

    Built-in AI Features

    As the first Copilot+ PC from ASUS, the Vivobook S 15 streamlines work and play through its AI features in many ways.
    With a click of its dedicated key, the Copilot AI chatbot pops up ready to answer queries and requests. No need to go to your browser and type up ChatGPT or Gemini.

    Keyboard

    When it comes to its responses, the Copilot is often more direct and concise with its answers as long as your questions are specific. It doesn’t go off stretching what could’ve been a short answer like other AI tools seem to do frequently. That is, unless you ask it to.

    Its answers are up to date, and I didn’t encounter any inaccuracies when fact-checking the data. If you need references for your research, it will also pull up links you can use. I asked it to give me links about a certain news topic, and it included the articles with thumbnails for easy navigation.

    Copilot 1
    Copilot 2

    It can also generate images for your presentations or for online content use. For the best results, just keep descriptions clear. I asked it to create an image with specific details and I got it.

    As expected, there are limits to how absurd, complicated, or NSFW your prompts can be to avoid abusing the technology. Don’t deliberately push the Copilot’s boundaries and you’ll be fine.

    Copilot Image
    Copilot Error

    What really impresses me about Copilot though is its speed. Whether it’s answering a question or generating an image, the results are there in just a few seconds.

    If you don’t want to type long questions or prompts, just use the microphone like I did, and the responses will also be read out loud by the AI with a very human-like voice. It also supports different languages. I asked it in Filipino via the microphone and it also answered with a fluent Filipino voice.

    Outside the chatbox, you can also generate images from your simple drawings with the Paint app, which comes embedded with Cocreator. I just had to sign in and was instructed to download the Image Generation Extension from the Microsoft Store then everything went smoothly from there.

    Cocreator

    Make some scribbles, type in a prompt to describe it, and tweak the available settings and sliders. Cocreator will then use these as references to create an AI-generated image.

    If you’re principled to avoid AI image generators like these though, there are still numerous AI features from this laptop that can boost both your human creativity and productivity.

    For creatives and everyday users who always find their devices packed with photos and videos, the ASUS StoryCube app can help.

    It compiles all your files from your cloud and devices and then uses AI to recognize the content to help you search, sort, and manage them. There’s nothing to worry too, as their privacy policy clearly states that all content stays in your device and won’t be transmitted elsewhere.

    Live Captions is also part of this laptop’s AI arsenal. It captions and even translates calls in real time using AI. It doesn’t seem to support Filipino translation yet, but it’s pretty useful as it is not confined to any app.

    Live Captions

    You can also rely on the laptop’s AI Noise Canceling capability to keep calls clear. Meanwhile, Windows Studio Effects automatically applies improved lighting and blurred background to whatever platform you’re using, be it Zoom, Teams, Loom, or even with just your laptop’s camera app. It’s very accessible as it also shows up in the Quick Settings of your Taskbar.

    Webcam

    For gamers, there’s also the Automatic Super Resolution which uses AI upscaling to help bridge the gap between high graphics and high frame rates for some games.

    The Verdict: Highly Portable & Extremely Capable AI PC

    The Vivobook S 15 has so much to offer for such a thin and lightweight laptop. It gives you the luxuries of an OLED display, powerful chipset, long-lasting battery, and the impressive AI features of a Copilot+ PC.

    While some of these AI tools are available online, having them all in one place through Microsoft and Qualcomm’s trusted technology is such a boost in convenience and confidence.

    Plus, its quality also meets its price point, making the ASUS Vivobook S 15 a worthy investment with its AI advantage that you can take anywhere you go.

  • Career Boost: How to Pick the Right AI PC

    Career Boost: How to Pick the Right AI PC

    Staring a career may feel like it’s all too overwhelming — things are already highly competitive, and now, AI is entering the picture. It is not uncommon to hear about entry-level office jobs being threatened by the emergence of AI, but this may not be the right way to look at things.

    When computers first emerged, similar opinions were circulating. However, these machines did not replace human jobs; instead, they became valuable tools for employees. AI might be viewed in the same light, offering opportunities to learn how to use it to one’s advantage and prepare for future job markets. To take full advantage of the latest advancements in AI, one needs the right tools. Ready to take that career to the next level? Here are the AI PC features to look out for.

    AI-Readiness

    2 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507

    The first step is to check whether the laptop is an AI PC. The easiest way to do so is to look at the processor. If the CPU features a neural processing unit (NPU), it’s well-positioned to handle AI processes. Options can include most of the latest-generation Intel Core Ultra series processors, the latest laptop CPU offerings from AMD, featuring AMD Ryzen AI, or the Snapdragon processors.

    When choosing an AI-powered CPU, consider the TOPS (trillion operations per second) number under its NPU in the specifications table. The ideal is 40 TOPS or more. It would be much better if the laptop were described as a Copilot+ PC. That means the laptop is designed to provide next-level AI experiences with enhanced security, speed, and personalization options. These laptops feature the latest, most up-to-date version of Copilot — the personal AI assistant from Microsoft. They have a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard and have easy access to Copilot+ features, such as Live Captions, Cocreator, and more.

    The latest AI PCs from ASUS also feature a whole lineup of ASUS-exclusive AI-powered smart tools that make all user experiences pleasant. These include the new ASUS StoryCube, ASUS Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, and ASUS Adaptive Dimming and Adaptive Lock.

    Performance for Any Task

    3 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507

    Aside from handling AI, the laptop will also need to do well with many other everyday tasks, such as browsing the internet, word processing, or videoconferencing. Depending on the job type, users may also be required to handle slightly heavier tasks, e.g., running creative apps for image or video editing. Additionally, ample storage for large files is a must.

    A laptop well-positioned to handle most work tasks will have an exceptional CPU – like an Intel Core Ultra, a latest-generation AMD Ryzen AI 300, or the all-new Snapdragon processors. All the CPUs mentioned above feature NPUs for AI processing and integrated GPUs ready for most everyday tasks, multimedia editing, or light gaming. At least 16 GB of RAM should be used as a solid minimum. Plus, having ample storage space, preferably 1 TB or more, is advisable.

    Flexibility for Working Anywhere

    4 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 1

    The lighter and thinner the laptop, the easier it is to take anywhere. ASUS offers multiple AI PCs that weigh 1.5 kg or less and have a thin profile of around 1.5 cm or less—perfect for on-the-go lifestyles. When it comes to screen size, something like 15.6 – 16 inches proves to be a sweet spot, with plenty of space to work comfortably but nothing too large. 

    A robust and long-lasting battery is essential to ensure uninterrupted work from any location. The new ASUS AI PCs provide up to at least 18 hours of seamless productivity on a single charge. This allows users to get through the entire workday without carrying a charger, enabling them to travel light and still have enough power for entertainment during their commute home.

    Users need diverse I/O ports to fully utilize any workspace, whether at home, in the office, in a coworking space, or a cafe. They should seek a combination of USB4 (preferably with power delivery and display support), USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 slot, and an audio jack. A laptop with a MicroSD card reader is also highly beneficial, particularly for those working with photography or video footage.

    ASUS AI PC that Breaks the Barriers

    5 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507
