In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. Without a doubt, the display is this laptop’s highlight. ASUS states that their unit has up to 70% less blue light emissions. As we said at the beginning of this review, equipping affordable laptops with OLED panels was long overdue, and we are happy that ASUS is making the effort to fix this mistake of the entire industry.

Upgrade timing may vary by device. Certain features require specific hardware (see Windows 11 Specifications). DTS Audio Processing: Lets you access the EQ settings and sound profiles for the built-in speakers. Gamma values are also impressive with only a DeltaE of 0.02. It basically means the VivoBook OLED 15 produces optimal colors with more depth and realism. Following the rest of our display test results, the VivoBook OLED 15 has a near 6600 color temp which is very much close to the 6500K standard. The only thing that’s off with the display is its very uneven brightness setting distribution as 50% brightness setting only outputs 98.1 nits while 75% settings output 242 nits out of the max rated 400 nits at 100 percent. Do note that having a higher brightness setting results in higher power consumption, therefore, reducing your laptop’s battery life. The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.The integrated graphics will depend on which CPU you get. The Core i3s have Intel UHD Graphics for 11th Gen processors with 48 execution units, the Core i5 has Intel Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units, and the Core i7 has Intel Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. There are two NVIDIA GPUs: the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 and the MX350; both have 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM. The Intel Core i5 1135G7 CPU is relatively easy to cool with a max temp of 92°C on our benchmarks which is good enough for an entry-level laptop. Idle temps are not within our preferred range considering our ambient temperature of 24°C. Having an OLED display on a laptop is one of the most game-changing experiences you can have for a mobile device. If you’re impressed by the switch from TN to IPS for most of your devices then you’ll be stunned once you try out an OLED display, especially with a large footprint like the ASUS VivoBook 15 OLED. The 1920x1080p resolution is frankly the weakest link in the display specifications as you don’t get to enjoy sharper images and videos due to its 15.6″ widescreen whereas most laptops even smaller 13″ ultrabooks have nicer QHD displays that make images and videos pop despite not having the OLED advantage.

A premium OLED panel on an everyday workhorse makes a considerable difference to the usage experience. The OLED is the only thing that’s exciting about this laptop, but that’s not a bad thing. Even without that OLED, the specs are good, and performance is excellent for the way this laptop is meant to be used. I would have liked a more subtle design, but that’s just a matter of taste. When it comes to variants, here’s what I’d recommend: the Intel Core i5 + 16 GB RAM + 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD model goes for Rs 68,990 (Rs 66,990 during the upcoming Big Billion Days Sale on Flipkart). The 8 GB variant with similar specs will go for Rs 66,000. Between the two, opt for the 16 GB RAM variant. It’s not that much more expensive and worth the performance bump. Going for Rs 47,000 (Rs 46,000 during the sale), the i3 version, though, is the true sweet-spot. I don’t believe there’s any other laptop on the market offering an OLED, let alone a good LCD, at this price point. If your budget is Rs 50,000, it’ll be hard to pass up on an offer as good as this. Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users. Numpad typos aside, the typing experience on the ASUS VivoBook OLED 15 K513EA is decent enough, especially for a budget-oriented laptop. The 1.4mm key travel doesn’t feel too short nor too long.
