ASUS is equipping the next generation of learners with smarter tools through its New Tech, New Class Back-to-School campaign. This year’s lineup features AI laptops, thin and light Vivobooks, value-for-money productivity machines, powerful gaming rigs, and even handheld consoles—each designed to help students balance academics and play.

Why it Matters:  Back-to-school shopping today isn’t just about getting a device that runs word processors and video calls. Students need intelligent, versatile devices that can keep up with modern demands—from AI productivity tools like Copilot, to high-performance hardware for design, development, or downtime gaming.

Here’s a closer look at some of the standout ASUS picks this season.

In 2025, they now come with Copilot AI integration, lifetime Office Home, and a one-month Microsoft 365 Basic subscription—perfect for those who need a daily driver for writing papers, attending online classes, or managing projects.

The Vivobook S16 stands out with its vibrant 16-inch with up to 3K OLED display and up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, all in a chassis weighing just 1.5kg. It’s the ideal thin and light laptop for those who want a premium screen experience for media, design work, or multitasking. Meanwhile, the more budget-friendly Vivobook 16 and Vivobook Go 15 offer AMD and Intel variants under PHP 50,000, making them great value-for-money choices.

All Vivobook laptops in the campaign include a free ASUS Marshmallow Mouse (MD100), a lightweight, stylish wireless mouse that complements any student’s study setup. Worth PHP 1,795, it adds extra convenience for note-taking, navigation, and long hours of coursework.
