Asus Refreshes ZenBook and VivoBook Lineup With AMD Ryzen 5000 U-Series, Starting at Rs 54,990 in India
Up to 40 percent faster, a full day of battery: Asus's claims, not yet tested
Mark
So what actually happened here? Asus launched laptops?
Mimi
Yes, a refresh of its ZenBook and VivoBook lines in India, all built around AMD's Ryzen 5000 U-Series chips. Prices start at Rs 54,990.
Mark
Which model is that?
Mimi
The VivoBook 15. The Flip 14 starts at Rs 59,990 and the VivoBook 17 at Rs 62,990.
Luke
Worth noting that's only three of the seven models. The ZenBook 13 OLED, S14 and Ultra K14/K15 have no prices in this report.
Mark
And the headline feature is AIPT?
Mimi
Right. It balances CPU performance, temperature, airflow, fan noise and power draw. Users can also switch between Whisper, Balanced and Performance modes.
Luke
The up-to-40-percent performance gain is Asus's own figure, and so is the full day of battery life. No test conditions are given, and no independent numbers exist yet.
Mark
Why does AMD's comment matter?
Mimi
It ties the launch to the Zen 3 architecture, which AMD frames as a mix of performance and efficiency.
Luke
That's a company describing its own chip, though. Reviews will tell us whether it shows up in daily use.
Il Polso
- A promise of up to 40 percent more performance sits beside claims of cooler running and a full day of battery life, and none of it has yet been tested by independent reviewers.
- Asus's Intelligent Performance Technology juggles CPU load, temperature, airflow, fan noise and power draw, so every gain in speed risks a cost somewhere else.
- Buyers are asked to choose between Whisper, Balanced and Performance modes, turning a single laptop into a decision about whether quiet or raw speed matters more today.
- Prices open at Rs 54,990 for the 15-inch VivoBook, rising to Rs 62,990 for the 17-inch model, with the Flip 14 at Rs 59,990, positioning the range for a broad middle market.
- The launch now waits on reviewers' benchmarks and battery tests to show whether the advertised balance between power and efficiency is real.

Asus has refreshed its ZenBook and VivoBook laptops in India, and nearly the whole range now runs on AMD's Ryzen 5000 U-Series chips. The entry point is Rs 54,990, which places the newer machines within reach of students, office workers and households shopping with care. The lineup spans the premium ZenBook 13 OLED, the VivoBook S14, the Ultra K14 and K15, the Flip 14, the VivoBook 15 and the VivoBook 17, though pricing was given for only three of them.
The headline feature is Asus Intelligent Performance Technology, a system meant to keep the processor, temperature, fans and power draw in harmony. Asus claims it can raise performance by as much as 40 percent, prevent overheating and deliver a full day of battery life. Those claims come from the company alone. Users can select Whisper, Balanced or Performance mode, choosing between a quieter, longer-lasting machine and one that pushes harder.
The devices themselves vary in shape and purpose. The Flip 14 offers a touch screen, the VivoBook 15 pairs a two-sided display with narrow bezels, and the VivoBook 17 reaches an 85 percent screen-to-body ratio along with an ErgoLift hinge that tilts the keyboard toward the typist. Executives from Asus and AMD spoke of seamless multitasking, productivity and efficient performance on the move.
For now the story remains a set of promises. Whether the 40 percent gain and the full-day battery life hold up on real benches and in everyday use is something only reviewers and buyers will reveal.
Asus has refreshed its ZenBook and VivoBook laptop families in India, and the common thread across the new range is a single processor line: AMD's Ryzen 5000 U-Series. The cheapest model in the lineup starts at Rs 54,990.
The range includes the premium ZenBook 13 OLED, the VivoBook S S14, the VivoBook Ultra K14 and K15, the VivoBook Flip 14, the VivoBook 15 and the VivoBook 17. The source gives pricing for only three of them: the Flip 14, the 15 and the 17.
The feature Asus is putting forward most is Asus Intelligent Performance Technology, or AIPT. It is described as a performance optimization system that balances CPU performance, system temperature, airflow, fan noise and power consumption. Asus says it can lift system performance by up to 40 percent, keep the machine from overheating, and still deliver a full day of battery life. Those are the company's claims, and the source offers no independent testing behind them.
Users can also pick how the laptop behaves. Three modes are available: Whisper Mode, Balanced Mode and Performance Mode. The choice is between getting the most out of the processor and stretching the battery as far as possible.
The VivoBook Flip 14 has a 14-inch touch-enabled NanoEdge display, which Asus says gives a strong screen-to-body ratio. It starts at Rs 59,990. The VivoBook 15, specifically the M515, has a 15.6-inch Full HD two-sided NanoEdge display with thinned bezels on all sides, which brings the screen-to-body ratio to 83 percent. It carries the lowest starting price in the group, Rs 54,990.
The VivoBook 17 sits at the top of the three priced models, starting at Rs 62,990. Its thin-bezel display reaches an 85 percent screen-to-body ratio, and its ErgoLift hinge tilts the keyboard into a more comfortable typing position. It runs on the AMD Ryzen 5 5000 Series Mobile Processor with integrated Radeon graphics.
Arnold Su, Business Head for Consumer and Gaming PC in Asus India's System Business Group, said the launch pushes the company's boundaries to give consumers the latest technology for seamless multitasking and better productivity. He said consumer experience has always been central to Asus's innovation, and that the machines are designed for different kinds of users.
AMD's Vinay Sinha, Managing Director for India Sales, said PCs have become more essential than ever for work, study, play and entertainment, and that buyers want performance on the move with strong battery life in an ultra-mobile form. He added that the Ryzen 5000 U-Series is built on the "Zen 3" architecture and aims to blend performance with efficiency.
What remains to be seen is how the 40 percent performance claim and the full-day battery promise hold up once reviewers get the machines on their own benches.
