The spirit of ASUS Vivobook is all about self-expression, seeing
life as a canvas, and staying true to oneself. The
ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED BAPE® Edition
is where tech and street fashion meet to produce a laptop built to
bring out a user’s personality.
We had the pleasure of interviewing the immensely talented Malaysian
DJ, Jo Vynn, on her perspective. Jo Vynn rose to fame during the
pandemic through creating original tracks and mashups which
developed into viral trends. At the age of only 21, she has more
than 1 million streams on her original tracks, over 10 million
followers on TikTok, performed at 17 shows across 10 countries in
2023, and partnered with multiple prestigious brands.
As one of the first to experience this unique device, the Gen Z
music artist Jo Vynn spoke to us about her unpacking of the ASUS
Vivobook BAPE® Edition bundle.
What’s in the bundle?
The ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition bundle was designed to give users a
giftbox experience. You will find an adorable BABY MILO® figurine
holding a miniature version of ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition, a carry
bag featuring the classic BAPE® camo design with BABY MILO® and his
friends peeping out, an ASUS Marshmallow mouse with the classic
BAPE® camo design, a set of BAPE® stickers, and finally, the ASUS
Vivobook BAPE® Edition laptop.
When asked about what impressed her the most in the bundle, Jo Vynn
pointed out that the soundless ASUS Marshmallow mouse really stood
out. Besides the pattern that pops, as a creator who frequently
works with sound she appreciates as little noise distraction as
possible during usage.
In addition to being small and quiet, another flex of this mouse
rocking the classic BAPE® camo design is that the cover of each one
is hand crafted. The camo pattern on each mouse takes approximately
10 to 12 minutes to complete because it is applied through water
transfer painting by hand. There are also two interchangeable mouse
covers if users feel like switching things up.
How powerful is the ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition?
“When I get a laptop what matters to me most is the sound system
because I always make beats and mashups with it. The Harmon/Kardon
dual speaker sound system and Dolby Atom’s 3D surround sound is
something I can really appreciate. This feature is so beneficial to
me because it saves me the hassle of connecting speakers and
headphones. I can also easily spot flaws in my work with a good
sound system and fix them.” Jo Vynn shares when asked about the
laptop’s features, “I’m also a video creator who edits my own videos
so the ASUS Lumina OLED panel really helps. The high refresh rate
and color contrast makes my editing process much more satisfying.
Finally, I can feel a difference in the video rendering speed with
the Intel® Evo™ verified processor – it’s a real time saver!”
Besides its trendy appearance, the ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition is
packed with features tailored to the needs of creators. The
15.6-inch 2.8K 120 Hz OLED displays emit 70% less blue light
compared to traditional LCD screens which makes it easier on the
eyes under prolonged screen time. In addition to the powerful Intel®
Core™ i9-13900H processor, users can also max out the memory up to
16GB and the storage to 1TB. This makes the laptop powerful enough
to handle workloads of influencers, freelancers, digital nomads, and
all sorts of creators. It’s also perfect for watching videos or
typing up documents. The best part is you can look stylish when
completing tasks!
Self-Expression as a lifestyle
ASUS Vivobook series is a vibrant, energetic line of laptops
designed for self-expression. The ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition bundle
is designed to fit as a fashion accessory to users’ outfits. 2023
also marks the 30th anniversary of BAPE® which adds on to all the
things that make this bundle special.
“I’m not only into DJing, but I’m also heavy into fashion and this
passion started way before I started my career. I love pairing my
clothes with little things used in daily life, so this collaboration
added a little flavor and spice to my every day. It’s very inspiring
for creators and music artists like me to see this bundle come
together as one.” Jo Vynn says.
Creativity anywhere, anytime
For a world-famous DJ like Jo Vynn, travelling and working in
various places is necessary. At only 1.7mm thin and 1.6 kg light,
ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition is made to create whenever and wherever.
“The photo-light-etched cover makes this laptop look good anywhere,
whether it’s on my DJ stand, in a café, or on public transport. Its
size and weight make it extremely portable.”
“Speaking of portability, I must say that the paper handle of the
ASUS Vivobook BAPE® Edition’s packaging is surprisingly sturdy. Even
though the whole box including the handle of the package is made of
paper, it supports the weight of the whole bundle effortlessly. When
I was filming it never slipped.” The sustainable packaging Jo Vynn
describes for this bundle is applied across a wide variety of our
products. You can learn more about ASUS’s efforts to stick to our
eco-friendly promises through sustainable packaging

Promoting sustainability in aspects for the environment and as a
lifestyle is a value shared between ASUS and the young artist. We
asked Jo Vynn about her new single “No Drugs” and the backstory to
dig further into this topic. She said, “Rather than being high on
drugs, it’s so much better to be high on life. I don’t like not
being self-aware. A lot of people are missing out on being sober and
the fun of being conscious. Drugs are simply killers. I wrote this
song to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle that I
believe in.”
ASUS Vivobook is tailored for those who won’t go with the flow and
shine even when there’s no one watching. ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED
BAPE® Edition aims to inspire users to craft creativity that comes
from within and show it to the world.
“Keeping true to your passion will be worth it in the long run
instead of chasing trends. Trends exist because one person who went
viral decided to stay true to themselves.” – Jo Vynn Ng
