It wasn't all that long ago when ASUS Malaysia launched ZenBook and VivoBook laptops with the 10th Gen Intel CPUs, but new ones are already on the way. The company just revealed that new ZenBook and VivoBook models powered by the latest 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake CPUs will be available this month.
First to be introduced were the ZenBook 13 and ZenBook 14. These two models come with an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 or Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and the new Intel Iris Xe GPU inside. You'll also get a 512GB PCIe SSD, which should be enough for most people. As usual, the focus for the ZenBooks is ultra-portability. both models measure a mere 13.9mm in thickness and the ZenBook 13 is only 1.07kg in weight.
In terms of features, it has a ClearVoice Mic and AI Noise-Cancelling Audio technology to ensure clearer voice quality, making it great for those who need to attend video meetings often. It's got a relatively large 67Wh battery too, which can last up to 22 hours.
Moving on to the VivoBook series, the VivoBook 14, VivoBook 15, and VivoBook S15 offer more in the way of performance, as well as a more colourful exterior. They're still light enough at 1.4kg and 1.7kg respectively but only come with the Intel Core i5 CPU. However, they do have the same 8GB of RAM and 512GB of PCIe SSD storage.
As for the features, you can expect these to deliver more performance thanks to the ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology (AIPT). It's can push the CPU's TDP from 15W to 28W, providing a boost to the CPU's performance of up to 40%. Currently, this feature is only available to VivoBook laptops featuring the new Intel Tiger Lake CPUs.
The only difference between the VivoBook models would be that only the VivoBook S15 comes with a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt 4. On the other hand, the VivoBook 14 and VivoBook 15 have come with both the Intel Iris Xe graphics and option for the Nvidia GeForce MX350 GPU.
If you're interested in getting one of these, you can get them from the official ASUS Malaysia store on Shopee starting from 20 November 2020. With that said, what do you think about the new models? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news like this.
