Asus has now confirmed plans to host two events next month at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. As we discussed at the time, it seemed that the company has new Windows laptops in the works, many of which with an 'AI' slant. To that end, details about multiple new Vivobook and Zenbook models have started appearing at retailers, which have since removed their listings from public consumption.
Nonetheless, VideoCardz and others managed to cop screenshots of said listings before they went dark. Currently, five new models have turned up online:
- Vivobook 16 M1607KA-MB058W
- Vivobook 16 V3607VU-RP036W
- Vivobook 16 X1607-MB110W
- Vivobook 18 M1807HA-S8033W
- Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA-OLED-PZ412X
Presumably, Asus has other Zenbook refreshes planned, given that only a successor to the Zenbook 14 UX3405 (curr. $839 on Amazon) has surfaced so far. Given the timing of these listings going live, we suspect that all will debut at next year's Consumer Electronics Show.
To that end, it seems that Asus has Intel Arrow Lake-H and Raptor Lake Refresh laptops planned, as well as others powered by AMD Ryzen 200 (Hawk Point) and Ryzen AI 300 (Krackan) series APUs. For reference, the various listings point towards Asus' Vivobook and Zenbook refreshes containing the following processors:
- Vivobook 16 M1607KA-MB058W - AMD Ryzen AI 350 (Krackan-8 cores)
- Vivobook 16 V3607VU-RP036W - Intel Core 7 240H (Raptor Lake Refresh)
- Vivobook 16 X1607-MB110W - Intel Core Ultra 5 225H (Arrow Lake-H)
- Vivobook 18 M1807HA-S8033W - AMD Ryzen 200 (Hawk Point)
- Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA-OLED-PZ412X - Intel Core Ultra 9 285H (Arrow Lake-H)
