Despite Terminator 2: Judgment Day's cautionary tale, AI has been booming in the tech industry, and this year, we're seeing a slew of AI laptops. While they weren't the first, Snapdragon X Elite laptops have garnered the most attention. They made up the first wave of Copilot+ PCs, but Qualcomm isn't the only company in this race. AMD just released its Ryzen AI 300 series processors, and it's ready to prove itself in this fight.
Lucky for us, Asus produced laptops with each new chip, and we've reviewed them both. The Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 is rocking the new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, while the Asus Vivobook S15 S5507 sports the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100. These are fairly similar laptops, but Zenbooks are technically considered the higher-end model compared to Vivobooks.
