The Asus Vivobook refresh at CES 2025 showcases the latest from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm at astonishingly affordable prices
Asus's refreshed Vivobook line-up features the latest AI chips from Qualcomm and AMD
On Tuesday, Asus unveiled a fresh line-up of Vivobooks at CES 2025, powered by a mix of Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD processors.
The updated Vivobook line-up sports a polished design similar to last year's Vivobooks but with updated specs inside. The refreshed Vivobook Pro 15 leads the pack with an Intel Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 285H processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card. With a 120Hz OLED display, the Vivobook Pro 15 sounds like it will live up to its "Pro" name, but we'll have to wait until we can run our benchmark tests on it to find out how it measures up to rivals like the MacBook Pro.
New versions of the Vivobook 16 and Vivobook 14 join the Pro 15. You can choose from a few different processors for either model: a Qualcomm Snapdragon X series CPU, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, or the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340.
It's worth noting that the Ryzen AI 5 340 is only available on the Vivobook 16. Asus has not yet revealed which specific Snapdragon X processor will power the Qualcomm Vivobook 16 and Vivobook 14, but we expect something similar to the Snapdragon X Elite chip that powered the 2024 Vivobook S15.
