ASUS Vivobook 15 Debuts in India With Intel Core 5 Series 3 Chip: Price & Specs

If you’re planning to pick up a new laptop during Amazon Prime Day or Flipkart’s GOAT Sale, ASUS has just added another option to the list. The company has launched the new ASUS Vivobook 15, which it claims is India’s first laptop powered by Intel’s new Core 5 Series 3 processor. Alongside it, ASUS has also introduced a new TUF Gaming A15 variant and announced discounts across its gaming and consumer laptop lineup.

The new Vivobook 15 is aimed at students, professionals, and anyone looking for an everyday AI-ready laptop without stepping into premium creator or gaming territory.

ASUS Vivobook 15 Brings Intel’s New Core 5 Series 3 Processor

The biggest highlight of the new Vivobook 15 is its Intel Core 5 Series 3 processor, which includes an integrated Intel AI Boost NPU capable of delivering up to 16 TOPS of AI performance. While it isn’t a full-fledged Copilot+ PC, it is designed to support Windows’ growing list of AI-powered features. The laptop features a 15.6-inch Full HD anti-glare display, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. ASUS says the combination is built to handle everyday multitasking, office work, web browsing, media consumption, and light creative workloads.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, while the rest of the package is fairly premium for this segment. You get a backlit keyboard, a dedicated Copilot key for quickly launching Microsoft’s AI assistant, a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello authentication, and a physical privacy shutter for the HD webcam.

Despite the large display, the Vivobook 15 weighs 1.7kg and also carries MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability certification, which should help it withstand the occasional bump during daily commuting. The laptop will be available exclusively through Amazon and Flipkart in Cool Silver, Quiet Blue, and Terra Cotta.

ASUS Also Launches a New TUF Gaming A15

Gamers aren’t being left out either. ASUS has also announced a new TUF Gaming A15 (FA506NCG-HN192WS) as part of Amazon Prime Day.

The laptop pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU with 4GB of memory, alongside 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. It also gets a 15.6-inch Full HD 144Hz display, making it a suitable option for esports titles and AAA games at medium to high settings. The TUF Gaming A15 carries a starting price of ₹1,24,990.
