    (PRESS RELEASE) - Staring a career may feel like it’s all too overwhelming — things are already highly competitive, and now, AI is entering the picture. It is not uncommon to hear about entry-level office jobs being threatened by the emergence of AI, but this may not be the right way to look at things.

    ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507) Snapdragon X Plus processor and retails for only P69,995

    When computers first emerged, similar opinions were circulating. However, these machines did not replace human jobs; instead, they became valuable tools for employees. AI might be viewed in the same light, offering opportunities to learn how to use it to one’s advantage and prepare for future job markets. To take full advantage of the latest advancements in AI, one needs the right tools. Ready to take that career to the next level? Here are the AI PC features to look out for.

    ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507) Snapdragon X Plus processor and retails for only P69,995
    AI-Readiness

    The first step is to check whether the laptop is an AI PC. The easiest way to do so is to look at the processor. If the CPU features a neural processing unit (NPU), it's well-positioned to handle AI processes. Options can include most of the latest-generation Intel Core Ultra series processors, the latest laptop CPU offerings from AMD, featuring AMD Ryzen AI, or the Snapdragon processors.

    When choosing an AI-powered CPU, consider the TOPS (trillion operations per second) number under its NPU in the specifications table. The ideal is 40 TOPS or more. It would be much better if the laptop were described as a Copilot+ PC. That means the laptop is designed to provide next-level AI experiences with enhanced security, speed, and personalization options. These laptops feature the latest, most up-to-date version of Copilot — the personal AI assistant from Microsoft. They have a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard and have easy access to Copilot+ features, such as Live Captions, Cocreator, and more.

    The latest AI PCs from ASUS also feature a whole lineup of ASUS-exclusive AI-powered smart tools that make all user experiences pleasant. These include the new ASUS StoryCube, ASUS Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, and ASUS Adaptive Dimming and Adaptive Lock.

    Performance for Any Task

    Aside from handling AI, the laptop will also need to do well with many other everyday tasks, such as browsing the internet, word processing, or videoconferencing. Depending on the job type, users may also be required to handle slightly heavier tasks, e.g., running creative apps for image or video editing. Additionally, ample storage for large files is a must.

    A laptop well-positioned to handle most work tasks will have an exceptional CPU – like an Intel Core Ultra, a latest-generation AMD Ryzen AI 300, or the all-new Snapdragon processors. All the CPUs mentioned above feature NPUs for AI processing and integrated GPUs ready for most everyday tasks, multimedia editing, or light gaming. At least 16 GB of RAM should be used as a solid minimum. Plus, having ample storage space, preferably 1 TB or more, is advisable.

    Flexibility for Working Anywhere

    The lighter and thinner the laptop, the easier it is to take anywhere. ASUS offers multiple AI PCs that weigh 1.5 kg or less and have a thin profile of around 1.5 cm or less—perfect for on-the-go lifestyles. When it comes to screen size, something like 15.6 – 16 inches proves to be a sweet spot, with plenty of space to work comfortably but nothing too large. 

    A robust and long-lasting battery is essential to ensure uninterrupted work from any location. The new ASUS AI PCs provide up to at least 18 hours of seamless productivity on a single charge. This allows users to get through the entire workday without carrying a charger, enabling them to travel light and still have enough power for entertainment during their commute home.

    Users need diverse I/O ports to fully utilize any workspace, whether at home, in the office, in a coworking space, or a cafe. They should seek a combination of USB4 (preferably with power delivery and display support), USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 slot, and an audio jack. A laptop with a MicroSD card reader is also highly beneficial, particularly for those working with photography or video footage.

    SPECIFICATIONS



    45W SUPERVOOC Charge

    Equipped with a VFC Trickle Charging Algorithm that slows down charging at the last 10% to conserve battery health. FFC Charging is paired with this to improve charging efficiency between 90% to 100%. It has 38 Safety Protections to guarantee safe and fast charging from all components including the charger, data cable, charging interface & circuit, and the battery.
    The realme C65 also has charging technologies that help the realme C65 learn the user’s habits and sleeping patterns to optimize by slowing down or stopping charging for protection and helping conserve battery health and battery aging. It features “Extreme Cold Mode” that intelligently detects ambient temperatures around the phone being 0°C or below when plugged in to increase temperature to at least 10°C for an improved charging experience.
    Tested to withstand and still perform well after 1,600 Charge Cycles versus the usual 1,200 from most competitors.

Also supports OTG Reverse Charging with support for 5V / 1.2A for situations that need it.


    IP54 Dust & Water Resistance
    The first number (5) certifies that the realme C65 is proven and tested to have Ingress Protection against the intrusion of small particles such as dust; although not completely repelled, the amount of dust that can accumulate on the device will not affect the device’s functionality in normal circumstances.
    The second number (4) indicates a level of Ingress Protection against splashes of water in all directions; but this only guarantees resistance – the device is not submersible.

    6.7” 90Hz HD+Display (Rainwater Smart Touch)

    7.64mm Ultra Slim Design (Shining Starlight Design)
    The back of both colors is inspired by the concept of starlight. A double texture was created in order to create a special effect that’s reminiscent of stars shining. For craftsmanship, the phone went through 12 processes with 7 layers of a 300nm nano-optical coating plus a drench-coating highlighting process to create the starlight texture with high precision.



    The phone was made to be slim at 7.64mm with the battery’s thickness being only at 4.4mm even at 5000mAh. It’s also lightweight even with a large battery capacity at only 185 grams.

    The camera module’s plate was made with polycarbonate & 10% glass fiber with a vacuum-plated high-gloss process. The halo rings are made with PMMA+PC with a 150nm (Starlight Black) or 300nm (Starlight Purple) coating for the 3D flash effect that’s seen on the camera module.

    The phone’s also designed with a “right angle” in mind allowing the phone to stand on its own – paired with curved edges that make the device comfortable and easy to hold.



    MediaTek Helio G85
