Crafting Creativity: DJ Jo Vynn Unpacks ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED BAPE® Edition

Dec 7, 2023

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.

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.

“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!

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.

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.

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
