Are you headed back to school and want the power of AI to make your school life easier? A handful of new laptops just dropped from brands like Asus, Dell and Lenovo, and they all have one new cool thing in common: An AI-powered suite of tools crafted by Microsoft. Thanks to Microsoft's latest AI integration, new Copilot+ laptops make almost any everyday task faster and smarter -- whether it comes to tracking down files, shooting off a text, gathering research data, editing photos, managing a schedule, dealing with emails, or surfing the web. But, with a price in the four figures, is the new lineup worth it? I tested the new Asus Vivobook S15 CoPilot+ PC and Asus Zenbook S 16 laptops.

Both are perfect tools for high-school and college students, but for that extra level of durability, the new Zenbook S 16 is the way to go. It also offers a 16-inch display, is lightweight (3.31 pounds), thin (0.

43 inches), offers a beautiful aesthetic, supports Wi-Fi 7-- and it's water resistant, too.
