This is a much more affordable AI-powered laptop compared to the Zenbook S 14 (UX506) we covered last month with an almost PHP 110K price tag. As you can see that's at least PHP 27K price difference.

It comes in a sleek and minimalist Neutral Black or Mist Blue body with a silhouette of the "ASUS VIVOBOOK" logo on top. Another highlight is the MIL-STD 810 H durability rating plus it also has a 1.3kg weight.

Inside, the laptop is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor with AI Boost NPU and Intel Evo. There's also the Intel Arc-based graphics for its iGPU.

The new version also uses 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD, and a 75WHr battery and charges using a USB-C 65W power brick.

It uses an FHD IR web camera with Windows Hello, a Backlit keyboard, a built-in speaker with Harman Kardon tuning, a microphone, and a built-in array microphone.

For ports, it has 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 2x USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x 3.5mm audio jack, 1x microSD card reader.
