This month Asus posted YouTube videos for a few new previously unannounced laptops — but it turns out there are already product pages on the company’s website.
So while there’s no information on pricing or availability, it looks like Asus is preparing to expand its ZenBook line of premium thin and light notebooks with several new models featuring 10th-gen Intel Ice Lake processors, and one model sporting AMD Ryzen 4000U series chips.
While digging around for more information, I also discovered a new VivoBook Flip convertible notebook with a Ryzen 4000U processor. VivoBook laptops tend to have lower starting prices than their Intel counterparts… although in this case you’re also looking at a laptop with a slightly less sleek design and a smaller battery.
Here’s a run-down of some of the new laptops coming from Asus this year. Note that I found product pages on the Asus website for some specific models, but it’s possible that specs may vary by region and/or model number.

Where is the link for the Asus’ press release about this laptops? I’m interested on the TM420 with AMD
There’s no press release, which is why I said this was a quiet launch. But if you click the header text for any of the models (just above the images), it’ll take you to the product page. In the case of the TM420, here it is: https://www.asus.com/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS-VivoBook-Flip-14-TM420IA
Oh, I see. This was a really quiet release.
Thanks for the heads up!
Sometimes they release a press communicate but nothing more.
