After officially unveiling its VivoBook S15 (S530) and S14 (S430) lightweight Windows laptops at the Computex 2018 tech show in Taiwan back in June, Asus has finally launched them in India. While the former starts from Rs. 69,990 and will be available at all Asus exclusive stores from November 15, the 14-inch model starts at Rs. 54,990 and will be available from November 1 exclusively on Flipkart. The laptops are being offered in five colors, including Firmament Green, Star Grey, Silver Blue, Gun Metal and Icicle Gold.

A Windows Hello-certified optical fingerprint scanner is built into the touchpad.
