Intel's Panther Lake chips are making their way to today's laptop. These chips are expected to drastically amp up performance by more than 50% in CPU and GPU prowess. We tested the chip earlier in the year and found it to be a solid Apple M-series rival.
For a limited time, you can get the Asus Vivobook S16 OLED for $1,049 at Antonline. That's $100 off Asus' new 2026 laptop and one of the best laptop deals I've seen on a Panther Lake-based machine.
We've always been fans of Asus' Vivobook series, but this latest iteration is different. It features a gorgeous 16-inch 1920 x 1200 OLED display, Core Ultra 7-355 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That has all the markings of a solid laptop, but it's the Panther Lake CPU that really shines.
We haven't tested this specific laptop, but these new chips are faster and more power-efficient than their predecessors, which should mean better gaming performance and battery life for the best Windows laptops packing these chips.
In fact, in one of our tests we got nearly 15 hours of battery life from a Windows machine with Panther Lake CPU. The results are a testament to Panther Lake's endurance and proof that Intel has finally closed the gap that once made MacBooks the only real choice for all-day use.
It may seem like a minor discount, but it's one of the few deals we've seen on Panther Lake-based laptops, so make sure you don't miss out on this discount while it's available.
