Discover a vivid new vision

Give your eyes a treat with Vivobook 16X’s clear, three-sided NanoEdge display. It has wide viewing angles, and is TÜV Rheinland-certified for low blue-light levels, reducing the risk of eye strain during marathon viewing sessions. Let Vivobook 16X guide your creative journey, with a fresh new visual experience.

Next-level performance

Vivobook 16X is your eye-catching everyday companion that’s always ready to make light work of your agenda, whether it’s office or personal, presentations or play. For demanding workloads, AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600H Mobile Processor with 8 GB of fast memory and 256 GB of speedy SSD storage provide plenty of power in reserve when the going gets tough.

Cooler, quieter and faster!

To keep it cool in all situations, the ASUS IceCool thermal technology in Vivobook 16X uses upgraded heat pipes, and an IceBlade fan that efficiently accelerates heat transfer. The 87-blade fan and impeller are made of a liquid-crystal polymer that means they’re lighter and thinner than ordinary fans. In addition, the fan uses a fluid-dynamics bearing that’s quieter and has less vibration than an ordinary bearing. The end result is that the mighty CPU can run comfortably at a blistering 45 watts total TDP in Performance mode — with no throttling!

Don’t be ordinary!

Vivobook 16X is never ordinary, with a clean design and two eye-catching colours. Choose from charming Quiet Blue or distinguished Transparent Silver — whichever says ‘that’s me!’ It’s slim enough to pop unobtrusively into any backpack, and light enough for easy one-handed carrying.

Opened up for sharing

Vivobook 16X features a precision-engineered, lay-flat hinge that makes it easy to share content with others, or collaborate with a group of people around a table.
