At the point when one considers workstations, the top-notch portion of PCs will in general snatch all the spotlight given it is intended to take special care of experts, business visionaries, and makers. It is not difficult to fail to remember that a great many people in my age (Gen Z) need a more essential and reasonable gadget for their everyday necessities one more appropriate for school tasks and maybe their most memorable temporary job. The facts confirm that the midrange scratch pad doesn't frequently get the credit or the consideration it merits, however, Asus' new Vivobook series is set to change that. The spic and span's Vivobook 14 and 15 series workstations accompany a similar presentation you'd anticipate from a midrange PC, yet for certain additional elements like an OLED board and Pantone Approval which you just as a rule track down in numerous more extravagant choices. Yet, how well do the new Vivobooks admission, in actuality, utilization? I gave a shot the new Vivobook 15 for about seven days for both work and diversion, and here's my survey.
What's good about the Asus Vivobook 15 OLED?
Plan:
The Asus Vivobook 15 OLED doesn't feel as solid as a portion of the more costly Zenbook series PCs. Yet, this here is a basically planned machine for its portion in the looks division. You get another matte-finish dull dim colorway which looks great when it's kept clean yet additionally rushes to pick smears and fingerprints. I like the new Asus Vivobook marking on the cover, with the high contrast dashing stripes additionally extending to the 'Enter' button on the console when you open the machine.
The 180-degree screen wobbles a little on its pivot when changed, and you don't get the tightest bezels (despite the fact that they are uniform on the sides and top). These viewpoints aren't big issues yet act as incidental updates that this actually isn't the most ideal development Asus offers on a PC.
Display:
I had previously used Asus OLED panels on the company's laptops, but they were all more expensive Zenbook models. But despite its lower cost, the panel on this Vivobook feels rather nice. Excellent viewing angles and vibrant colors are present. Also included is HDR support. This screen made watching videos and movies on this device enjoyable. The most advantage here will, however, go to users who work with printing and graphics-related use cases.
If you prefer a higher refresh rate and higher resolution, keep in mind that the smaller Vivobook 14 has a 2.8K 90Hz panel while the larger Vivobook 15 has a Full HD 60Hz panel. Additionally, it has Pantone Validation, which ensures superior color accuracy, and 180-degree tilt support, which is the cherry on top for those who use programs like Adobe Photoshop or even InDesign.
performance:
The Vivobook is equipped with the most recent 12th Gen Intel Core i3 processor, though you can also purchase an i5 model for a bit more money. My i3 model is incredibly quick and provides more than enough performance to run programs like Photoshop, the Microsoft Office suite, InDesign, and a few open browser tabs.
Although I don't suggest using this computer for gaming, a dedicated cooling fan on the bottom manages the thermals when you're putting it through its paces. It has a fan-like sound, yet it is not overly loud. Users who choose the entry-level 8GB RAM base variants (single channel RAM) will be restricted to using Intel UHD integrated graphics until they upgrade the RAM. Higher variants in the new Vivobook series also come with Intel Iris Xe graphics. Therefore, if you're buying this computer to use graphics software for work, I suggest going with the 16GB RAM option if your budget allows it.
Features:
Additionally, the 512GB SSD storage on the Vivobook 15 may be upgraded to 2TB, and the 8GB RAM on this model can be increased to 24GB. Other cool features on this laptop include the quick and accurate fingerprint scanner on the trackpad, the physical webcam shield, which I think all laptops should have, and the three-level keyboard backlight.
With two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 port, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, the I/O options are quite adequate. Additionally, there is an HDMI 1.4 port and a 3.5mm combi audio port. Although the HD webcam is only average, the laptop's microphone is actually quite good.
Battery Life:
The Asus Vivobook 15 OLED has a 50W-hour battery and enables 65W rapid charging, but only through a dedicated DC connector; a USB-C charger cannot be used to power this laptop. Although this could alter depending on how you use the machine, the battery does last a little longer than you'd think, lasting for roughly 5 to 6 hours on a single charge.
