The collection of Asus laptops known as VivoBooks is aimed at consumers who are looking for an inexpensive multimedia and productivity solution. The Asus VivoBook series, which is intended to be used on a daily basis, has undergone steady development over the years, and the bulk of the company’s product catalog currently includes OLED displays. However, the products at this year’s VivoBook seem to be more of a repetition than an innovation.
In earlier iterations, the VivoBook 15X was equipped with H-series processors such the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H. This year, Asus is selling numerous VivoBook 15X laptops with Intel 13th gen Raptor Lake-P and AMD Ryzen 7030U processors, while the VivoBook 14X and VivoBook 16X series are the only ones to offer Intel 13th gen H45 CPUs. Now in our possession is the brand new Asus VivoBook 15X M3504, so let’s take a look at it. This portable computer is driven by an AMD Barcelo-R Ryzen 5 7530U processor and includes Radeon RX Vega 7 graphics as an integrated solution.

Where to get ASUS Vivobook 15X OLED Laptop?
The aspect ratio of the Vivobook, which is 16:9, is not the most favorable for work applications. However, this is not a deal breaker since the display is a gorgeous OLED panel that has a resolution of 2.8K and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It has a glossy finish, which can sometimes be very reflecting. The peak brightness is satisfactory at 400 nits, and the blacks are really deep and inky.
To sum it up, it works really well for watching videos. However, the speakers aren’t on the same level as one another. They are not very powerful, and there is a severe lack of bass in each of them. When I watch movies, the volume needs to be turned up quite close to its highest setting. The keyboard isn’t too deep, but it has a nice tactile feel to it, and the keys are nicely spaced apart. Although the amount of ports is sufficient, I was hoping there would be an additional USB-C port. The Vivobook has a single USB-C port that may be used to charge the device, however the power adapter that comes with it has a barrel-type connector.
