A sponsored laptop introduction

Berman describes the laptop hardware and AI features. He also mentions an original giveaway and discloses the ASUS partnership.

This ASUS Vivobook S 15 is a Copilot+ PC with a 15.6-inch display, a dedicated Copilot key and a Snapdragon X Elite processor. Its neural processing unit is designed to handle supported AI workloads locally.

The features I highlight include StoryCube for organizing media, Windows Studio Effects for video calls and presence detection that can respond when a user leaves or returns. ASUS partnered with me on this video; the newsletter giveaway mentioned was part of the original promotion.
