This is the new breed—the Snapdragon X platform, the Copilot+ AI PC variant to be precise—and it’s more than just a gimmick with a corporate buzzword for a name.
It’s lean, cool, and surprisingly snappy. Day-to-day multitasking feels seamless, like a well-rehearsed con job—tabs fly open, apps boot up without complaint, and AI features like Windows Copilot spring to action like a personal assistant that doesn’t ask for coffee breaks.
That said, this isn’t your rendering rig or your 4K video editing beast. It’s a machine built for the 98%—email fiends, word wizards, code poets, and the occasional Canva crusader. It’s not trying to compete with desktop-grade grunt. It’s here to make your daily digital dance feel like a waltz.
A 70Wh battery powers this sprightly performer, and in typical ARM fashion, it sips power like a pensioner at a posh tea lounge. ASUS claims all-day endurance, and in real-world use, it comes surprisingly close. With moderate use—think Slack, Spotify, and slightly self-important spreadsheets—you’re staring at around 14 to 16 hours on a single charge. That’s more than enough to outlast a day of dodgy Wi-Fi and still have enough juice left to watch a cat video or three.
