ASUS India has announced its new Vivobook lineup, launching on September 16, 2026. The lineup supposedly brings premium all-metal construction and Copilot+ PC capabilities across three processor families. Additionally, there’s also going to be a refreshed colour palette across five models targeting students and young professionals. The new lineup is built around the “Your Vibe. Your Colour.” campaign.

Design and colours

The new lineup is available in:

• Cool Silver
• Light Blue
• Matte Gray

All models feature a lightweight metallic design and US MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability certification. Select models offer an ASUS OLED display option. The all-metal construction is a step up from previous Vivobook generations that used plastic or mixed-material chassis.

Performance and AI

Three processor platforms are confirmed across the lineup:

• AMD Ryzen AI 7 400 Series
• Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 3
• Qualcomm Snapdragon X

All configurations qualify as Copilot+ PCs, enabling on-device AI features within Windows 11. The inclusion of Snapdragon and AMD Ryzen AI options alongside Intel gives buyers a choice of platform depending on their priorities such as battery life, gaming capability, or AI performance.

Battery life and charging

ASUS claims up to 38 hours of battery life on select models, supported by up to a 70WHr battery. The brand also mentions that it charges to 60% in 49 minutes via USB Type-C fast charging. The 38-hour figure is a best-case claim and will vary by model and usage conditions.

Security

The lineup includes facial recognition with Windows Hello and a physical webcam privacy shield across models.

The five models

The new portfolio covers the:

• Vivobook 14 Flip
• Vivobook S14 Flip
• Vivobook S14
• Vivobook S16
• Vivobook 16

It spans 2-in-1 flip designs and traditional clamshell form factors across 14- and 16-inch screen sizes.

Launch offer

For a limited period at launch, ASUS is offering two years of extended warranty plus three years of accidental damage protection, normally valued at Rs 5,599, for Rs 99. Available through ASUS eShop, Flipkart, and Amazon.

Full pricing and detailed specifications will be confirmed at the September 16 launch.
