The VivoBook S 15 Snapdragon 8-Core Standard Mode 256GB / 8GB is ASUS's 2021 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 15.9 x 352.6 x 226.9 ( = 0.63 x 13.88 x 8.93 in) display, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 8c/8t, 8 x 3.4 GHz Qualcomm Oryon, 25 W PL2 / Short Burst, 25 W PL1 / Sustained, Oryon chipset. At AED 1,199 in the UAE and ₹29,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The VivoBook S 15 Snapdragon excels with its 8-core Oryon CPU and 16GB LPDDR5x RAM, delivering smooth multitasking and efficient Windows 11 operation on a 70Wh battery that lasts up to 14 hours in light use. The Adreno X1-45 GPU handles casual gaming and creative apps without fan noise, thanks to passive cooling. It’s built for students and remote workers who prioritize all-day battery, quiet operation, and lightweight portability at 1.428kg. Its weakness is the 256GB NVMe SSD—slow for large file transfers and insufficient for media-heavy workflows. Wi-Fi 7 ensures future-proof connectivity. In UAE at AED 1199, it’s good value because no other Snapdragon 8-core laptop under AED 1300 offers 16GB RAM and 14-hour battery. In India at ₹29990, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i with Ryzen 5 and 512GB SSD deliver better storage and similar battery at the same cost.
