ASUSWe’re just about to finish the school year for 2025 (finally), and holidays are top of mind… but ASUS can help you get your family prepared for the 2026 school year now, so you can enjoy the summer without the stress of last-minute shopping.
High schools – and some primary schools too, now – require your student to have their own device, something that can last all day and give them the computing performance they need to crush their assessments and electives.
ASUS is here to help your student ace the year ahead with its Vivobook range. No matter which model you choose, you’ll get a durable, portable PC that’s ready for whatever the classroom brings.
What should you look for in a school laptop?
Schools often provide a bewildering list of acceptable devices, but this can be based on deals with retailers rather than which machine is best for the student.
Different year levels need different hardware to complete classwork. Earlier school years might be content with a lower-end machine that does the basics (but still needs rock-solid reliability), while senior years can benefit from serious computing power.
Of course, before you make any decision, it’s important to check your school’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy to see exactly what the minimum requirements are for your student. One of the most important aspects is the ability for the device to last all day on a single battery charge. Most schools don’t allow recharging during the school day.
Schools mostly set their BYOD requirements as a compromise between price and specs, to cover as many families as possible. With the Vivobook range, ASUS aims to offer devices that are more than capable of handling the daily rigours of school life – both in class and at home – and which surpass the specs requested by schools, especially when it comes to display size and overall versatility. All without breaking the bank.
Why the ASUS Vivobook Flip 14 OLED is perfect for creative students
It’s no secret that creative students are hard to please. It’s not enough to give them a basic laptop that lets them take notes or watch videos. They need something that helps them express their creativity and enables them to act on inspiration as soon as it strikes.
The ASUS Vivobook Flip 14 is the perfect match for the young creator in your life. The OLED display presents every kind of media at its best, whether that be crisp text, vivid images, or engaging video.
The durable form-factor allows students to fold the display around so the device doubles as a tablet, with touch and pen support. That makes it ideal for sketching, taking notes, or working in hardcore design applications to create their next masterpiece.
With up to 28 hours of battery life (based on local 1080p video playback), the Vivobook Flip 14 is well-equipped to handle the average school day, even if the student is enrolled in accelerated subjects that require an extra hour or so in the morning or evening.
And of course, the Vivobook Flip 14 is a fully-featured Copilot+ PC. That means it has better battery life, can run low-powered tasks for longer, and uses AI to help organise files, and answer questions to point students in the right direction.
Why ASUS Vivobooks make everyday learning easy
It’s all too simple for a laptop brand to position its cheapest and lowest-powered devices as “for students”. ASUS combines premium form factors and the latest hardware specs to create a range of Vivobooks that are more than ideal for schooling and still within budget.
Powered by Snapdragon X Series CPUs, the Vivobook S16 and Vivobook 14 have ample power for the classroom, and the portability and versatility needed for everyday student life.
Take the Vivobook S16, for example. With a generous 16-inch 2.5K display, this powerhouse of a machine benefits students who need to juggle multiple applications and see more at a glance. This is further supported by up to 32GB of RAM (for slick switching between apps or intense number crunching) and up to a vast 1TB of internal storage, via SSD.
Or if portability is a priority, students can choose the ASUS Vivobook 14. With a 14-inch display, there’s still plenty of space to get work done, but it helps the laptop slim down to a mere 1.49kg – ideal for the student who is always on the go.
Both machines get full IO ports for all kinds of connectivity (even to school projectors in some places!), a larger touchpad with smart gestures for more intuitive control, and Wi-Fi 6E, so you know if there’s any problems with connectivity, it’s going to be on the school’s end, not yours!
Best of all, the Vivobook 14 lasts up to 29 hours on a single charge, while the Vivobook S16 lasts up to 32 hours (both based on local 1080p video playback). There won’t be a school day these laptops can’t handle.
Wrapping up
When you or your student heads back to school in 2026, send them fully equipped with an ASUS Vivobook. With a range of devices, almost any school need can be met, from the most demanding artist to the extra-curricular-focused social butterfly who has to be in six places at once (we don’t know how they do it!).
It’s all about enabling students to make the most of the opportunity their education is offering them, no matter the form factor or price point. ASUS truly has something for everyone.
