ASUS Releases New Zenbook S14, Teases VivoBook S14 and ExpertBook P5

Growing a line of products and innovating at the same time must be hard for others, but not ASUS! Today we ventured to Silver city in Pasig as they showcased the newest version of ASUS ZenBook S14 and teased a few more like the ASUS VivoBook S14 and the ExpertBook P5.

ASUS SEA Regional Director Jimmy Lin says "We will lead innovation with ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen. We have won awards and excellence over our competitors. This year, we had the first CoPilot PC's, and today we are launching the ASUS ZenBook 14. This is the most advanced AI PC and the most stylish too. Perfect for users on the go with the Ceraluminum material and premium look. This utilizes AI, and the newest generation of Intel processors apt for the laptop."

This is a new standard for AI innovation and design. Rachelle Lozares of ASUS Consumer PC adds "The ASUS ZenBook S14 is our most elegant AI powered machine, available in Zumaia Gray that mimics thin rock layers and crafted with Ceraluminum. It's very hard, tough, but very lightweight and designed timelessly. This would be a good choice for a long time investment. ZenBook's are not created the same, it's one of our thinnest at 1.1 cm., and weighs 1.2 kg with the best I/o inputs in the market. This is ultra portable but last up to 27 hours. It can also be charged 60 percent in a few minutes, using your power bank. This also utilizes Intel Core Ultra 7, very efficient and can perform with 32GB RAM because who doesn't want to multi task. It's stylish and professional, a dedicated AI chip and ASUS apps so you can have more time to do other things "

The ZenBook has a dedicated CoPilot key so you can easily access its features, faster and better than ever before. You can simply ask for things, like recall, Co Creator, Live Captions and Studio Effects. It also has Automatic Super Resolution for better graphics when you need to render or do games in your off times.

The ASUS Vivobook S14 on the other hand is more portable, made even slimmer, has advanced cooling, more I/o ports and made for productivity. It uses proprietary Ice Cool Technology, RGB keyboards and looks so stylish.

The ASUS ExpertBook P5 is designed for professionals who needs more of everything. It can make you work smarter, faster, in an aluminum body. With an Intel Core Ultra Processor, it can be powerful for all those apps and functions you need to do simultaneously. This uses Copilot PC, the most intelligent Windows PC ever. This has an immersive AI Expert Meet which can do meetings across all ExpertBook P5 devices in your network, this is the future of meeting technology in this category.

The new ASUS ZenBook S14 is priced at Php 109,995 , while the ASUS Vivobook S14 and the ASUS ExpertBook P5 price is going to be announced separately late this year. This comes with warranty, Microsoft 365 subscription and Windows office.

Though it looks pricey, you must count the inclusions and the trust you get from owning a unit from ASUS. It's an investment and certainly, a good one you could utilize for school, work or creativity. The thin profile, bigger workload it could do is well worth it!

You Get MORE with NVIDIA on these Back to School Promos

It's back to school season and that only means one thing, you need a new laptop and NVIDIA just showcased some of the units that have better computing and graphics because they have it inside.

The GEFORCE RTX GPU's certainly has impressed a lot of consumers with its capability to service those who are in content creation, gaming, and even the usual office or school work. Videos won't look archaic or digitized and can harness AI via its Tensor Cores which are not available on ordinary laptops. I like the GEFORCE RTX 4090 which they showcased during the event, and used to convert 1080p videos into 4K HDR resolution with no hitches.

Recently, NVIDIA also launched Project G Assist which they revealed at COMPUTEX 2024. It's basically an RTX powered AI that you can use to enhance the utilization of games and apps while they are running. You now don't have to use walkthroughs for the game you are excited about because if you use it in game, it answers your queries and gives you more context of what is happening in game. Imagine the things you can do with it when you are playing RPG's and story form games because it'll be easier to finish tasks, and give you text or speech answers instantly.

NVIDIA Consumer Lead Jerome Matti says "Today, we are excited to share new tech from our partners Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, PC Express, Silicon Valley and more."

Senior Tech Manager from NVIDIA John Gillooly added "ATX AI PC's have come a long way. It's something that we have been talking about for years. It's both cool and scary, but the technology is here. AI for Gaming in 2018, AI for Creators in 2019, AI for Broadcast and Video Conferencing in 2020, AI for Video in 2023 and AI FOR productivity this 2024. NVIDIA Studio is a program for content creators, and it has been really successful and we didn't realize that it was going to be big. We are now faster and have better quality, a night and day comparison than what we were able to do before. From DLSS that gets framerates higher and better quality, faster AI image generation in graphics software on RTX AI Apps, the number 1 apps now have RTX acceleration in all of them. This places GEFORCE RTX at the head of the pack compared to Radeons in the market."

RTX Remix is a tool for game models, it allows you to enhance textures, assets than the usual low res texture you get on games. NVIDIA App Beta is now available as a software package in new laptops released by different manufacturers. If you are looking for a laptop that can do this and more, make sure it's equipped with an NVIDIA in it.

The NVIDIA app might be in Beta, the second edition was released a few weeks ago and will only publish officially when they're happy with it.

PC Express VP for Sales and Marketing Jesse Tan shared "We have a big promo for best I class laptops, different NVIDIA based laptops from Acer, Lenovo, HP, Gigabyte, MSI, with the latest NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX hardware and free stuff plus installment upto 36 months.
