laptops can also be powerful. The Asus VivoBook Pro 15 takes things further ahead in the same direction. It targets professionals in the creative space who spend most of their time on photo, video, and 3D modelling tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and Cinema 4D. This new laptop isn’t just slim and powerful, it also packs an OLED display that should do wonders for colour accuracy. Despite all of this, it is still accessibly priced than high-end creative machines of the past.
The Asus VivoBook Pro 15 OLED runs an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, a 7nm CPU based on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture. It has 8 cores, capable of delivering max speeds of up to 4.4 GHz. It is also said to be 24 per cent more energy-efficient than the previous generation. Its performance is further compounded with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU. With this combination, you can run high-end software like Autodesk 3D Max, Maya, and Blender without any stuttering. The graphics card is also strong enough to let you play high-end games like Battlefield 2042, Call of Duty: Vanguard, GTA V, and Fortnite.
Creators often keep switching between apps while working on projects, these transitions are now smoother thanks to the 16 GB of DDR4 RAM onboard. It is enough memory for previewing large video files and reducing rendering times. The laptop comes with a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD. It has a 63Wh battery, that ASUS claims should run the laptop all day. For internet connectivity, the device and Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 for connecting wireless devices.
Rendering and gaming can stress the system and so result in a lot of heat which can in turn, compromise performance. This shouldn’t be the case with the VivoBook Pro 15 OLED due to Asus’s IceCool Plus technology. It includes a dual thin blade fan that works with flat head copper pipes to dissipate the heat. The fan is said to work silently, and you can gain control over its speed using the My Asus app.
The laptop’s 15.6-inch OLED display is one of its biggest prides. An OLED panel renders deeper blacks and better contrast than LCD screens. They are great for showing vivid colours even at low brightness levels. The display also offers a 100 per cent DCI-P3 and Pantone compliance. This is one of the best laptops displays for content creators who use colour correction tools. This full HD (1920 x 1080) display also offers a 0.2 ms response time. This means text should be crisper even while scrolling through web pages. A fast response time can also improve your gaming experience.
The display offers a 16:9 screen aspect ratio for a wide viewing experience. With its 600 nits of brightness, it is also brighter than most LCD screens. This means the content will be visible even in the brightest of rooms. Content creation is the kind of work where you often spend hours watching the screen. Luckily, the Asus VivoBook Pro 15’s screen comes with TUV Rheinland certification for low blue-light emissions. Asus says the screen emits nearly 70 per cent less blue light than LCD displays, so you can keep on working without stressing your eyes.
The Vivobook Pro 15 OLED also offers a robust construction with its aluminium lid and chassis. This laptop comes in two colours – Quiet Blue and Cool Silver. The lid now has a CNC engraved Asus VivoBook logo that distinguishes it from previous generation models. The display hinge is as solid as older VivoBooks, so screen wobbling shouldn’t be an issue. The narrow display bezels further add a more modern look to the laptop. Asus says the display offers an 85.6 per cent screen-to-body ratio while housing an HD webcam on the top. Despite its all-metallic design, the laptop weighs only 1.65 kg. This means it can be carried around easily while travelling.

A USB Type-C port is also present for fast data transfer and power delivery. The device also comes with an HDMI port for connecting an external monitor or projector.

The keyboard on this VivoBook Pro 15 Pro is identical to its predecessors. All keys are large and well-spaced, so typing mistakes are reduced. The keys offer a 1.3mm of travel, and Asus says their curved concave design adds comfort during typing. The Enter key now comes with a new strip design to stand out from the rest of the keys. This backlit keyboard supports three brightness levels. It has a dedicated numerical pad, which comes in handy when you need to do a lot of number-crunching tasks.
