Asus Vivobook 15 brings 16 TOPS AI chip to India starting Rs 1,07,990

Asus has launched the Vivobook 15 in India with an integrated Intel AI Boost NPU rated at 16 TOPS, part of Intel’s new Core 5 Series 3 processor that the laptop is the first in India to run on. Asus says the chip is designed to lay the groundwork for AI-powered Windows experiences rather than deliver a pure performance upgrade.

The laptop pairs the processor with 16GB of DDR5 memory, a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD and Wi-Fi 6, aimed at smoother multitasking across browser tabs, video calls and office work. It is being positioned as an everyday productivity laptop for students and professionals rather than a flagship device.

The Vivobook 15 features a 15.6-inch Full HD anti-glare display with 45% NTSC colour coverage, weighing 1.7kg with a 17.9mm profile. It includes a backlit keyboard with a dedicated Copilot key, fingerprint login on the touchpad, a physical webcam shield, and has cleared MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability testing.

Priced starting at Rs 1,07,990, the laptop is available exclusively on Amazon and Flipkart in Cool Silver, Quiet Blue and Terra Cotta colourways, with Windows 11 Home pre-installed and a one-year Asus global warranty with onsite domestic support.
