Asus Vivobook 15 – Design

The Asus Vivobook 15 Laptop has a pretty solid build. It is a lightweight laptop that`s packed in an ultralight chassis.  It weighs in at 1.90 KGs, which is amazing given that its a performance laptop.

The laptop has a reinforced lid and it works like the side-impact protection beams in automobiles. These provide structural support for the lid, the panel, and the hinge joint, due to this the laptop feels sturdy.

It’s worth noting that it has a Sleek, reinforced metal chassis underneath the keyboard that provides a stable platform when typing and using the touchpad. Besides providing structural rigidity, it also strengthens the hinge joint and protects internal components.


Audio Quality

This laptop has the (ASUS Sonic Master) which is the combination of hardware, software, and audio tuning designed with the goal of giving the very best audio experience. A professional-grade codec ensures precise audio encoding and decoding; while amplifiers, large speakers, and resonance chambers perfectly suited to ASUS X509 ensure a powerful audio delivery and deeper bass.

Overall in our experience, the sound is really crisp and loud enough, the output via audio jack also works fine, although we found that the microphone is average and will get the job done when using it for video chats, recommend to use a headset while using for calls.


Keyboard & Trackpad

Asus Vivobook 15

The Keyboard is spacious in size & is easy to type on when typing the keys give a tactile feel and good feedback, The function keys are spaced well, it is a  full-size ergonomically-designed keyboard, all the Hotkeys are present on the laptop which can be used without pressing the function key, hence you can use it directly and it makes the overall typing experience good.


Display

The Asus Vivobook 15 comes with a 15.6″ (16:9) LED-backlit FHD (1920×1080) 60Hz Anti-Glare Panel. It has deep blacks & color pop out to be well and gets pretty bright, although we feel the display quality is average, for the cost fo the laptop we expected a better display.

The bezels are thin and the NanoEdge display gives the laptop a vast screen area for an immersive viewing experience. Its wide-view FHD panel features an anti-glare coating to reduce unwanted distractions from irritating glare and reflections, so you can truly focus on what’s in front of you.
