70% Asus Vivobook S 15 (S5507) review: an everyday OLED Copilot+ PC
Source: Creative Bloq English
No Snapdragon PC so far has troubled the big list of the best laptops for creatives, and this one from ASUS is no different. That’s not to say it’s a bad machine - it really isn’t - but it suffers from the same software deficiencies as those from other manufacturers. In time, these will lift, and we can’t wait to see what they can do.

84% ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507) Review – Is ARM Worth The Hype?
Source: Pokde English
At RM6,299, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507) is, in many ways, not too different than a regular x86-based laptop; however, in other ways, it’s a night-and-day difference in terms of user experience. My suggestion? Keep your expectations reasonable – if you think you will use any tools that are more exotic than usual (or just wants a peace of mind that everything will just work), it’s better to stick to x86 laptops from AMD and Intel, for now.

Source: Root Nation English
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 with Snapdragon is an intriguing choice, offering good performance and long battery life. It’s recommended for those seeking energy efficiency and low noise during operation. It’s also ideal for users who don’t need specialized software. In such cases, you won’t even notice that the processor is “different.” The design of this model is excellent, with great ergonomics, a comfortable keyboard, plenty of ports, and a large 120 Hz OLED screen – it’s fantastic. The sound is also impressive. What more could you need?

80% ASUS Vivobook S15 S5507 (Snapdragon X Elite) Review: Promising for the Future
Source: Tech PP English
With the Snapdragon X-Elite, the ASUS VivoBook S15 OLED delivers on its promises for everyday use, including web browsing, media playback, opening apps, and light gaming. You don’t need to carry a charger. The OLED screen makes watching content a pleasure. However, if your workflow heavily relies on specific x86 applications or you need high-end gaming performance, you might want to consider whether the current state of Windows on ARM meets all your needs. If you are a student, a creative professional, a business professional, a content consumer, or a casual gamer, this laptop might be the best option for you. The future of Windows on ARM is promising.

80% Asus Vivobook S15 OLED Review: An Excellent 15-Inch Laptop
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
Here's the thing about the Vivobook S15 OLED S5507 from Asus. Priced at Rs. 1,24,990, the laptop is not cheap, and it competes with laptops such as the Apple Macbook Air 15. While it can give the Apple laptop a battle when it comes to battery life and design, it falls short in the performance category due to being limited to 16GB RAM in India. However, if performance isn't the most important thing for you and you're going to mainly use this for work that doesn't involve heavy video editing, then this is a great laptop to get.

ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507) Review
Source: Yugatech English
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 is great for those that want to maximize their productivity with modern digital tools. The minimal design, glossy display, and user-catering features are just great additions to what it already offers. As one of the first of its kind, it has some things to figure out along the way. Personally, I think that its price could and very well deter buyers. In spite of that, I think it’s a worthy investment. After all, the value of AI and how it streamlines tasks holds a ton of relevance nowadays.

The Asus Vivobook S 15 may look like your average laptop, but under the hood, there’s a Snapdragon X Elite superpower that makes this more powerful than the M3 MacBook Air, and almost as efficient too. Apple Silicon has finally met its match, and Microsoft is finally doing Windows on arm right.

ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 review – AI-Powered Everyday Companion with Superb Display and a Software Caveat
Source: Laptop Media English
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 is an interesting device that is loaded with rich AI functionality. For example, the Live Captions function is useful for real-time translation with automatically generated speech captions. The Cocreator app is tons of fun. Basically, you can sketch something in Paint and it can be transformed into an (almost) real-world-looking image. You’ll also find preinstalled software such as Recall, Automatic Super Resolution, and more. Our laptop has the 12-core Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 paired with 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM. The machine feels fast for everyday tasks such as Web browsing, watching videos, or editing MS documents. The CPU can maintain super solid 3.40 GHz even in “Whisper mode” which leads to very good comfort under full processor stress since the fans are quiet.

100% A new dawn for laptops? I’ve tested the Asus Vivobook S 15 (S5507) and there’s no doubt in my mind
Source: Expert Reviews English
I’ve been waiting a long time for a laptop like the Asus Vivobook S 15 to come along. It’s as good as a M3 MacBook Air, with great performance and battery life. Although it may not be as sleek and attractive as Apple’s ultraportable, it delivers far better value for money, with an unbelievably good display, a comfortable keyboard and good speakers and a webcam as bonuses. With so much more native ARM software now available, it appears Windows laptops are at last able to operate on a level playing field with their Apple silicon counterparts. The only problem may be legacy hardware accessories such as printers, scanners and so on. If that isn’t an issue for you, and you’re not a big PC gamer, then this new generation of Windows laptops would appear to be a no-brainer.

80% Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED review (S5507QAD 2024 model, Snapdragon X Elite)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
It's hard for me to draw proper conclusions based on this early Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED unit, since the hardware and especially the software are still in their early days. There's potential here for a daily driver for multitasking and casual use, where the Snapdragon X Elite platform could offer snappy performance even on lower-power profiles, with quiet fans, cool temperatures and long battery life. But that potential isn't quite met today. And when it comes to serious work or gaming, it will take a very long while before this platform and the software become competitive against existing Intel/AMD options in the Windows space.

Snapdragon X Elite laptops are here! | ASUS Vivobook S15 (2024)
Source: Tech Spurt English
Early review of the ASUS Vivobook S15 2024, powered by Snapdragon X Elite - a fresh Apple M3 competitor, designed for fast mobile performance. I've played with the Vivobook S15 OLED for a couple of days and here's my first impressions. The ARM-based Snapdragon X Elite is certainly capable as those benchmarking tests show, although Steam games like Spiderman Remastered suffered from graphical glitches. Or simply refused to run. For everyday multi-tasking, the ASUS Vivobook S15 2024 absolutely smashed it, showing no signs of slow-down.

Early impressions of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite: Good, not great
Source: Mobile Syrup English
Ultimately, my early impressions of the X Elite are mostly positive. Battery life is a small improvement over x86 chips, though how much depends on what features you choose to run or disable. On the other hand, performance is pretty good and, so far in my testing, comparable to x86 chips with minimal issues. That said, users should expect a few kinks from Windows on ARM since it seems Microsoft hasn’t yet worked everything out. There’s still obviously lots of testing to do, but it looks like the X Elite will finally breathe some life into Windows on ARM and bring much-needed improvements to battery life to Windows laptops. It’s not quite the home run that was advertised, but it’s a definite improvement.

2024 Asus Vivobook S 15 S5507 & ProArt PZ13, Copilot+PCs with Snapdragon X hardware
Source: Ultrabook Review English
This is going to be a worthy competitor for the latest Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, a similar, albeit larger, format and running on similar Snapdragon X hardware. It’s coming later in the year, starting at 1299 GBP on the UK market, so it should be closely priced to the Surface. I’d reckon it could be an interesting option for creators and those of you looking for a lightweight travel companion. I’m not necessarily a fan of the tablet format as a daily driver, but the popularity of the Surface series over the years proves that some of you prefer this design over more traditional laptops or 2-in-1 hybrids. So there’s a market for this device.

This laptop is perfect for day-to-day tasks which include browsing, light gaming, video/ photo editing, streaming, and other required tasks. So, if you are looking for a feature-filled laptop with high-performing, capabilities, then Asus Vivobook S15 could be a great choice for people who want to balance their personal and professional requirements. However, in terms of pricing, the laptop comes in the higher range bracket, which may come as a barrier for some budget-conscious buyers.

华硕 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 评测–人工智能驱动的日常伴侣,超强显示效果和软件缺陷
Source: Laptop Media English
华硕 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 是一款有趣的设备,搭载了丰富的人工智能功能。例如,实时字幕功能可通过自动生成的语音字幕进行实时翻译。Cocreator 应用程序非常有趣。基本上,你可以在画图软件中画出草图,然后将其转换成(几乎)真实世界的图像。你还会发现预装软件,如 Recall、Automatic Super Resolution 等。我们的笔记本电脑配备了 12 核高通骁龙 X Elite X1E-78-100 处理器和 32GB LPDDR5x 内存。在执行日常任务(如浏览网页、观看视频或编辑 MS 文档)时,该机的运行速度非常快。即使在 “耳语模式 “下,CPU 也能保持超稳定的 3.40 GHz 频率,由于风扇很安静,因此在处理器满负荷工作时也能保持良好的舒适度。顺便提一下,尽管名为 “全速模式”,但它并没有将风扇转速提升到最高,而是在 CPU 达到极限时提供了更积极的风扇转速。即便如此,噪音也不会造成干扰。针对 ARM 的 Windows 集成并不完美。有些应用程序和游戏根本无法启动,这对早期用户来说是个问题。当然,随着 BIOS 和操作系统的不断更新,软件兼容性会越来越好。如果你打算用这台机器来完成家庭和办公室的休闲任务,那就没问题,因为它的 CPU 拥有足够的动力。考虑到软件问题,如果你需要用它来从事严肃的工作,你可能需要等待一下更新。3K 15.6 英寸 120Hz OLED 显示屏(三星 ATNA56AC03-0)非常出色。它具有无限对比度,在 HDR 模式下最大亮度为 610 尼特,在观看 SDR 内容时亮度为 390 尼特,并且完全覆盖 DCI-P3。开箱即用的色彩准确度非常高。OLED 无闪烁调光功能还消除了此类面板的典型脉动现象。在可升级性方面,没有太多可做的。内存和 Wi-Fi 卡都是焊接的,只有一个第 4 代固态硬盘插槽。在我们的案例中,QLC NVMe 的运行速度相当快。另一方面,你可以轻松撬开底部面板来清洁内部,拆下散热器涂上新的散热膏也不是一件难事。端口选择非常丰富–我们有四个 USB 端口,其中两个是 USB4。华硕 Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 是一款拥有出色 OLED 显示屏、超长电池续航时间、舒适输入设备和紧凑尺寸的迅捷设备。
Positive: Excellent OLED display; nice ergonomics; good webcam; high performance; silent system; long battery life; metal case; powerful processor. Negative: Non-expandable RAM; expensive.

And Asus has done a fine job at giving the Vivobook S15 all the essentials it needs to be a good productivity machine. The screen and speakers are good enough for binge sessions, and the keyboard and trackpad help you work well.

All in all, this is a solid option for college students, and people looking for a business laptop that can handle moderately heavy workloads. But the 96,000 rupee price tag is too steep for the Ultra 5 variant. So if you can get it for a discount, it is a sweet deal.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 3.8 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that four Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors feature, as of Sep 2024. It has 1,536 unified shaders at its disposal that are said to run at up to 1,250 MHz. The underlying architecture is reportedly in many respects the same as what was used in the Adreno 730. While thankfully faster than the aging Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno fails to match the Radeon 780M meaning Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is barely playable at 1080p on low with 23 fps on average. Triple-A games of 2024 fare even worse, in no small part due to Qualcomm's subpar graphics drivers.

AMD Radeon 660M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 6000 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA2 architecture with 6 of the 12 CUs (= 384 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1.9 GHz.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

Intel Arc 8-Core: Integrated graphics adapter based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides all 8 Xe cores (128 Xe vector engines) and 8 ray tracing units.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X:

SD X Elite X1E-78-100: A pretty fast ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The X1E-78-100 is the least powerful member of the Snapdragon X Elite processor series, as of May 2024; as such, it has 12 Oryon CPU cores running at no more than 3.4 GHz and the 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU. The 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU, an impressively fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are included as well.

AMD Rembrandt (Zen 3+):

R5 7535HS: Mobile Hexa-Core APU using six Zen 3+ cores clocked at 3.3 to 4.55 GHz and a RDNA2 graphics card with 6 CUs clocked at up to 1,900 MHz. Refresh of the old Ryzen 5 6600HS with a 50 MHz higher boost clock speed.

Intel Meteor Lake-H:

Ultra 7 165H: A high-end Meteor Lake family chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has come to replace 13th generation Core chips; it has 16 cores (6 + 8 + 2) and 22 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 6, run at up to 5.0 GHz and are HT-enabled while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.8 GHz. The integrated AI Boost NPU offers two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. vPro Enterprise and business-centric features such as the Remote Platform Erase are onboard as well. This laptop processor's Base power consumption is 28 W while its Turbo power consumption is not supposed to go over 115 W.
