Pricing and availability
Heads‑Up: Asus Will Reveal Prices for the Vivobook Pro & S Soon
Hey tech devotees, if you’ve been waiting on the next wave of Asus laptops, buckle up! The company has just confirmed that the Vivobook Pro and Vivobook S have a price tag and availability date coming out in the near future. No exact numbers yet, but the wait is apparently worth it.
What You Already Know
- Vivobook Pro: A sleek machine aimed at professionals—think powerful processors, plenty of RAM, and a chunky storage option.
- Vivobook S: The ultra‑portable, budget‑friendly sidekick with plenty of personality.
- Both models are based on the Alder Lake CPUs from Intel, so expect decent performance.
Alongside the Buzz
While Asus is still piecing together the final pricing puzzle, they’ve also dropped a sweet teaser about another flagship: the ZenBook 14.
