This limited-edition Vivobook S 15 OLED BAPE variant is nestled within a captivating “ASUS x BAPE” box set. Beyond the laptop itself, the package brims with assorted accessories, encompassing a mouse, inner bag, stickers, and more – all synergistically integrating BAPE’s branding elements and featuring exclusive camouflage designs. This confluence of brands births a truly unparalleled edition. The Vivobook S 15 OLED BAPE Edition is available in two thematic hues: a camouflage color scheme dominated by varying shades of green, with the laptop chassis presented in either a classic black or a sleek silver.
