Top 5 Reasons To Work With ASUS VivoBook S #BeyondTheEdge #AsusIndia

Nowadays, customers are on a lookout for small and trendy laptops that can be used not only in the home but also during traveling and vacations. It’s practically not possible to carry a heavy laptop stuffed with several other gadgets inside the backpack. Hence, you should opt for a slim, powerful and fashionable laptop that can meet all your personal and official requirements.

ASUS recently launched the ASUS VivoBook S with trending features and specifications at an unbeatable price. Tagged as #BeyondTheEdge, the ASUS VivoBook S has been designed in an ultra-thin and light form factor stuffed with the latest hardware. In this article, we will examine the top five reasons to work with ASUS VivoBook S laptop.

NanoEdge Bezel

The main advantage of ASUS VivoBook S is the addition of an advanced 7.8mm NanoEdge bezel display coupled with an incredible 80% screen-to-body ratio. Moreover, the integration of a 178-degree wide viewing angle helps you to work from sharp angles without any difficulty. The advantage of the wide-view display is that colors, brightness, and contrast tend to remain vivid, bold and sharp irrespective of the ambient lighting.

The laptop is equipped with a 15.6-inch FHD display but the panel has been infused dynamically with a typical 14-inch laptop frame. Asus has used a 14-inch frame to integrate a 15.6-inch display with Full HD resolution, which is made possible due to the infusion of an ultra-narrow 7.8mm NanoEdge bezel.

Imagine, Shilpa is on an official tour to the UK with VivoBook S. She entered a restaurant to have a nice coffee and thought of sending an email to her friend. Shilpa will be able to easily connect the laptop to the Wi-Fi, type the content and deliver the email without adding any extra weight alongside accurate sharpness. This is made possible due to the addition of 80 percent screen-to-body ratio and 178-degree wide-view angle. Even if Shilpa turns her #BeyondTheEdge VivoBook S to an awkward angle, there will be no difficulty to work with the laptop.

Fast Charging

The ASUS VivoBook S carries a powerful Lithium polymer SuperBattery, which is capable of charging up to 60 percent in 49 minutes via fast charging technology. The laptop is capable of delivering a battery life of up to 8 hours even with 60 percent battery, which will be useful for IT professionals.

You will be able to charge the laptop completely quickly without waiting for a long time. The battery is designed in such a way that it offers a 3x longer lifespan when compared with standard Lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, the battery is manufactured with ASUS Battery Health Charging Technology, which not only extends the lifespan but also decreases battery expansion rate. We have experienced battery draining problem with several laptops but with VivoBook S, you won’t face any problem and the laptop will be in perfect condition for several years.

Coming back to Shilpa’s story, she started to browse the web continuously for several hours before departing from the coffee shop. After reaching the hotel, she attempted to call her parents back in India over Skype and the time was around 8.30 PM. However, the battery level was only 20 percent. She requires more than 85 percent battery to have a long chat session over Skype.

Shilpa plugged the laptop for charging and returned at around 9.20 PM. Voila! She found that the laptop is currently at 90 percent battery level. She immediately grabbed her sparkling VivoBook to her bed and started the live chat session. Look, how quickly Shilpa charged her laptop without waiting for a long time? You can also experience the same #BeyondTheEdge enjoyment by switching to ASUS VivoBook S.

Stylish & Powerful

The advantage of ASUS VivoBook S is that the laptop is thin and light, which helps you to easily carry from one place to another. The thin body structure with 17.9mm profile enables you to store the laptop inside your backpack without occupying huge space.

You can also carry the laptop without any discomfort to college, office or during vacation because the weight of the laptop is only 1.7kg. You just need to drop the feather-light laptop to your bag and carry them to experience true #BeyondTheEdge.

Shilpa doesn’t like to carry heavy products during tours. The 17.9mm thin profile VivoBook S laptop is a perfect fit because it goes deep inside her bag without occupying huge space. Initially, she thought of purchasing a new bag for the laptop but she is now able to carry not only the laptop but also power banks and power strips because of the extra space. Furthermore, Shilpa is able to carry the laptop without any stress and strain to various places because of a feather-light structure. She also finds it easy to work with the #BeyondTheEdge laptop just by placing the device on her lap.

Fingerprint Sensor

The ASUS VivoBook S is integrated with a dedicated fingerprint sensor paired with Windows Hello on the touchpad. You just need to touch the fingerprint sensor to login and there is no need to make use of a password. Shilpa went to her friend’s house with her VivoBook S. She worked for around one hour until her friends called her for a party. She quickly placed the laptop on the coffee table and went to attend the party.

Shilpa forgot to shut down the laptop because she was in a hurry. However, she had enabled fingerprint login with Windows Hello. During the middle of the party, she suddenly remembered about the laptop and quickly returned to the sofa. She was unable to see any login attempt by a third-party person and the system was under sleep mode. She immediately shut down her laptop and carried it with her. It’s not possible for another person to sneak into Shilpa’s laptop because of the integration of a highly sensitive fingerprint sensor. As a user, you will be able to breathe loud because of the enhanced security measures integrated into the #BeyondTheEdge laptop.

Backlit keyboard

The ASUS VivoBook S features a full-size ergonomic backlit keyboard with comfortable keys. The keys are placed with sufficient distance to prevent accidental typing. The addition of LED backlit keyboard helps you to work even in darkness. Moreover, the keys are infused with 1.4mm travel distance to offer extreme ergonomic and #BeyondTheEdge comfortable typing experience.

Shilpa was working with other friends during night time with her VivoBook. Suddenly, the power went off and there was total darkness all around the house. Her friends shouted that they have some urgent work to finish. Shilpa continued to work by immediately activating the backlit keyboard and her friends came near her and told WOW. This is so beautiful. Shilpa published two blog posts with the help of the #BeyondTheEdge backlit keyboard before the power was restored. Her friends were surprised with the excellent battery life and the quality of the backlit keyboard. Shilpa told them that she is using VivoBook S and is available from all retail and Asus exclusive shops.
