Asus Vivobook 2025 Series Overhaul: Something for Everyone
Asus is shaking up its top-selling Vivobook series for 2025. Everybody has something to anticipate in this overhaul. From outrageously affordable variants with brand-new Snapdragon X processors to a mind-blowing Vivobook Pro 15 with an eye-watering OLED display, Asus has everything under control.
Vivobook 16 & 14: Budget Notebooks Are Fun Now Due to Snapdragon X

Budget laptops are becoming more interesting. Asus releases the 2025 Vivobook 16 and its little sibling, the 14-inch model, with the brand-new Snapdragon X X1 processor. We're already on the second generation of Snapdragon X laptops. Asus is touting a whopping performance gain. It's nearly 44% faster than the previous generation, with an even more powerful NPU to perform AI tasks as well.
Battery life is a key feature. Asus is bragging about almost 20 hours on a single charge. Think of a Windows laptop that can actually last all day and then some. The best news is these Snapdragon models are poised to be even more budget-friendly than the AMD-powered ones. This makes excellent battery life and silent, fan-free performance available to still more people.
For those who prefer the traditional Windows-on-x86 experience, Asus has not forgotten you. The Vivobook 14 and 16 will also be available with AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors, models M1407KA and M1607KA. These AMD versions will be slightly pricier. They remain firmly in the mid-range category, offering a balance of performance and value.
Vivobook Pro 15: OLED Brilliance and Pro-Level Features

If you're looking to level up your visual experience, the 2025 Vivobook Pro 15 N6506CU is the option. This laptop is practically begging to be mistaken for a Zenbook due to its premium features. It starts with a jaw-dropping 15.6-inch 3K 120Hz OLED "Lumina" display. Asus is not playing around here. We are talking HDR600 certification, deep DCI-P3 color space coverage, blue light reduction for eye relief, and flicker-free comfort. Whether you're a creator or a gamer, this screen is designed to impress.
The Vivobook Pro 15 is not just about looks. Under the surface, it has an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card. This is a laptop built for heavy use and play with a serious power split for high-demand applications.
Curiously, Asus is bringing back the 15.6-inch size to the "Pro" Vivobook line after decades of focusing on larger screens. This might indicate that the old 15.6-inch laptop is experiencing a resurgence, perhaps as a middle ground between portability and screen real estate.
A Vivobook for Every Need
With the 2025 Vivobook series, Asus is certainly looking to provide compelling options at many different price points. If you prize battery life and affordability with the Snapdragon X models, or super-beautiful images and pro-performance with the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED, Asus seems to have a Vivobook that meets your needs.
Watch out for these new Vivobooks arriving in stores soon. The Snapdragon versions, especially, might change what we expect from affordable laptops.
