To keep the laptops cool in all situations, the cooling system includes an ASUS IceBlade fan with 87 blades, with dual air vents to efficiently accelerate heat transfer for smooth, stable performance without processor throttling.

The long-lasting up to 50 Wh high-capacity battery keeps the laptops going for longer, while ultrafast connectivity is provided by up to WiFi 6E enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master technology for fast and stable connections.

User-friendly design
The eye-catching Vivobook Classic laptops are never ordinary, with a clean geometric design featuring the raised Vivobook logo tag on the lid, a warning-striped Enter key and a choice of two on-trend colors: Indie Black or Cool Silver. The laptops are slim enough to pop unobtrusively into a backpack, and light enough to never be a burden.

The precision-engineered, lay-flat 180° hinges make it easy to share content with others, or collaborate with a group of people around a table. The webcam has a convenient physical shield that instantly blanks the image in video calls for enhanced privacy and security. There’s also an optional fingerprint sensor on the touchpad for fast password-free login via Windows Hello.

The full-size ASUS ErgoSense keyboard has a 19.05 mm key pitch, a 0.2 mm key-cap dish, and long 1.4 mm key travel that gives it an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision. Additionally, Vivobook 14 OLED supports an optional ASUS NumberPad 2.0.

With a full set of I/O ports, it’s easier than ever for users to connect their existing peripherals, displays and projectors. In addition to a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port with power delivery, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI output and a convenient 3.5 mm audio combo jack.

To keep the laptops hygienic and reduce the spread of harmful viruses and bacteria, frequently-touched surfaces[iii] on the new laptops are treated with ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus, which is scientifically proven to inhibit the growth of viruses and bacteria — including COVID-19 and influenza viruses — by more than 99% over a 24-hour period[iv].

Vivobook Classic series laptops are bundled with a free one month subscription to Adobe® Creative Cloud®, along with a collection of easy-to-use productivity-enhancing ASUS apps, including GlideX for cross-device screen sharing; MyASUS for easy access to updates, apps, customer service and performance optimization; and ScreenXpert for easy multi-display management.

Smart conferencing
The new Vivobook Classic series laptops are packed with class-leading features that make video and voice conferencing smoother and more enjoyable. The HD webcam includes ASUS 3DNR video-processing technology that makes video feeds clearer, and there's a convenient physical webcam shield for instant privacy.

To provide exceptional remote-working and video-conferencing experiences, all models feature ASUS AI noise-canceling technology that employs machine learning in order to isolate unwanted noise from human speech. This technology helps to filter out ambient noise for optimum group conference-call quality.

Sustainable and durable
The ASUS commitment to protecting the earth while delivering the best products to its users is reflected in the design of the Vivobook Classic series. The laptops contain 30% PCR plastics, and the packaging is now 100% recyclable. Energy consumption has been reduced to outperform the ENERGY STAR power-efficiency standard.

A longer laptop lifespan also reduces long-term waste, so Vivobook Classic series laptops are strictly tested to ensure their durability, using the latest MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard, with up to 12 test methods and 26 individual tests — the industry's most stringent testing regime.
