Common questions
- Does the ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507, Snapdragon X Elite) work with Linux?
- Not cleanly: there are significant gaps, so we don't recommend it for Linux as-is. The Vivobook S 15 is on Canonical's list of Snapdragon X Elite laptops that boot with the Ubuntu 25.04 arm64 image, but the FAQ explicitly flags an installer meta-package bug on this model that produces broken installations, and the usual Snapdragon X gaps apply: built-in speakers and the webcam are not supported, and firmware has to be extracted from the Windows partition first.
- What does the ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507, Snapdragon X Elite) cost?
- RRP is about 1299 USD (1499 EUR in the EU); street price is often lower.
- Is the ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507, Snapdragon X Elite) good for office and web work?
- For office and web work we score it 8/10 on value and 7/10 on performance.
- How heavy is the ASUS Vivobook S 15 (S5507, Snapdragon X Elite)?
- 1.42 kg (3.13 lb). That's manageable for occasional travel.
- What's the battery life like?
- A 70 Wh pack, around 14 hours real-world mixed use. We score battery 9/10.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- RAM is soldered, so the 16 GB it ships with is the RAM it dies with. Storage starts at 1024 GB on this configuration.
