Weighing 1.65 kg, this laptop is quite thin and very comfortable if you have to carry it or put it in a backpack to be carried. We even tried to carry it around for a few hours, and it didn’t feel like it was a heavy burden, which is quite pleasant when compared to the gaming laptops we usually carry.

By designation, it may not be a gaming laptop, but we are very comfortable using it as a gaming laptop in our daily life.

The 15.6-inch FHD OLED nano edge display immediately greeted us when this laptop was opened for the first time. The bezel layer is quite thin on the side, which adds to the full-screen impression that we can get from this Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED.

Audio Harman/Kardon

On the audio side, the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED is equipped with dual-speaker Harman / Kardon. We did some testing to see how well it performs compared to other laptops in its class that doesn’t use Harman/Kardon on the market.

This time we are honest, the Asus audio quality with Harman/Kardon is one of our favorites. Not only does it deliver loud and clear audio, but the dual-speaker setup is also balanced in stereo for a crisper sound.

Coupled with DTS Audio Processing, Asus has made this Vivobook Pro 15 OLED Laptop a complete laptop package for content creators.

Another greatness comes from the AI ​​Noise-Cancelling technology to reduce the noise of all kinds of ambient noise. It is undeniable that this feature or technology is quite our passion considering the large amount of online coverage and the ongoing need for WFH.

Wider Keyboard

The Vivobook Pro 15 OLED keyboard is equipped with a backlit feature and has 3 levels of light adjustment. The fun part is, that the distance each letter or key travel on this keyboard is only 1.3mm, which we think is very comfortable to use considering our long but thin fingers.

In addition, the enter key is now present in a new design that is more characterful with a few dashes of color. Just trigger the eye to distinguish it from other buttons.

For those of you who are always disappointed with the composition of the small touchpad, this time be happy because Asus provides the cursor scroller with a slightly wider size.

Another uniqueness comes from the side of the power button. Yep, besides being useful as an on/off button, Asus also uses it as a fingerprint sensor access for additional security. A little very striking because it is characterized by the presence of a chrome list that surrounds the power button.

Performance Test

In addition to a good display, it runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050 graphics card. Considering this is not a gaming laptop, we still tried some benchmark tests to just ease the curiosity about the power of this Vivobook Pro 15 OLED.

We used the Benchmark Resident Evil 6, Street Fighter V, and Final Fantasy XV as a start with some settings that we adjusted, of course without OC frills or overclocking.

As a result, when using the Resident Evil 6 Benchmark, the Asus Vivobook pro 15 OLED was able to penetrate 207 FPS for frame rate affairs with an S rank and a score of 24927. While Street Fighter V was able to penetrate Perfect results with an average of 60 FPS.

Still talking about benchmarks, it’s incomplete if you don’t test with standard conditions like 3D Mark and GeekBench. The 3D Mark score obtained for the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED reached 10786 for Fire Strike and 35008 for Night Raid.

While on GeekBench, the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED was able to achieve a single-core score of 1474 with a multi-core score of 7530. Satisfied with the benchmark activity, we switched to doing some gaming activities with this Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED laptop.

We tried to play one of the games that many gamers play today, namely VALORANT. To our surprise, the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED was able to run this game at around 200 fps all the time.

We weren’t too surprised, this is because of the S ranking that we produced on the Resident Evil 6 benchmark with the highest movement at 207 FPS.

Apart from trying to play VALORANT, we also tried opening more than 10 tabs at a time and it still managed to function smoothly without lagging or slowing down in any way, which makes the SSD quite decent for such a small and light laptop.

Apart from that, we are quite amazed by the performance of the dual fans it has. Practically during our tests, we did not find any abnormality in terms of overheating. This also happens during the benchmark process and also playing games for a long time.

This dual-fan cooling design can work effectively because it is equipped with ASUS IceCool Plus Technology which can provide CPU performance up to 54W. This technology called Asus is the merger of two heat pipes to improve cooling significantly.

As noted above, we’ve tried working and minimal gaming with this laptop and we’ve only experienced a slight heat in the center of the laptop while the rest remains cool to the touch.
