Asus Vivobook 15 Review: Balanced Performance Meets Sleek Design

Author: Yash | Date: Jan 15, 2025 | Time: 6:30 am

Practical design with a silver finish and MIL-STD-810H durability. However, the plastic build feels less premium compared to competitors, with noticeable flex and bulk (1.7 kg).

Design and Build

15.6-inch Full HD screen with 60Hz refresh rate but suffers from poor brightness (250 nits), limited viewing angles, and backlight bleeding.

Display

Spacious keyboard with good travel and a dedicated numpad, suitable for long typing sessions. The trackpad is small and off-center but functional.

Keyboard and Trackpad

Powered by Intel Core i5-120U with 16GB RAM (upgradable to 24GB) and 512GB SSD. Handles everyday tasks and multitasking well, with competitive benchmark results for its price range.

Performance

Handles older AAA games and eSports titles like Valorant (80 FPS) and GTA V (28 FPS on high settings) with playable performance at lower graphics settings.

Gaming

Moderate battery life of 5.5–6 hours for productivity tasks, falling short of expectations for a U-series chip with efficiency cores.

Battery Life

The ASUS Vivobook 15 delivers solid performance for its price, making it a good choice for budget-conscious buyers prioritizing functionality.
