College Computer

By William W.

I purchased this computer for my niece to use in college. She was extremely happy, satisfied and confident that this VivoBook will do everything see needs it to in her college courses. Great buy, great product.

ASUS VivoBook 15 is the perfect combination of beauty and performance. Available in several colors and finishes, VivoBook 15 is a Windows 10 laptop powered by the latest generation AMD Ryzen 3 processor with 6GB DDR4 RAM and AMD Radeon Vega processor graphics. It boasts a dual-storage design that combines the fast data speeds of an SSD with the large capacities of an HDD, making it the ideal laptop for daily computing and entertainment.

Mobility

Thinner and lighter
ASUS VivoBook 15 is thinner and lighter than ever - with an amazingly thin 18.9mm profile, it weighs just 3.50 lbs. It's an everyday laptop with the weight and compactness of an ultrabook.

Screen

NanoEdge display with ultra narrow bezel
The ultrathin bezel of the NanoEdge display on the VivoBook 15 allows a 15.6-inch Full HD display to fit into a frame size that's only slightly larger than those typically used in 14-inch laptops. The 7.7mm bezel on the NanoEdge display also results in an incredible 81% screen-to-body ratio - so you get more screen for more immersive viewing.

Performance

Amazing performance
ASUS VivoBook 15 is powered by up to the latest generation AMD Ryzen 3 processor with 6GB DDR4 RAM and AMD Radeon Vega processor graphics for smooth visuals and great gaming experiences. It also features dual-band 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi - so you'll enjoy super-fast online performance.

Design

Lively colors, stunning finishes
The stylish ASUS VivoBook 15 is available in a high-gloss spun finish in Icicle Gold and Star Gray.

Dual-Storage

Superfast data, large storage capacity
The dual-storage design of the ASUS VivoBook 15 provides the best of both worlds - the blistering data speeds of a 256GB SSD and the large storage capacities of a 1TB HDD. Install apps on the SSD for superfast response times and use the HDD to house large files such as movies, music libraries and photo albums.

Interface

Complete connectivity, including USB Type-C
A USB 3.1 port with a reversible USB Type-C connector makes connecting devices quick and easy. USB 3.1 provides data transfer speeds as fast as 5Gbps - up to 10X faster than USB 2.0 connections! Transfer photos, music and large video files in a fraction of the time. For example, a 2GB movie takes less than two seconds!

Visual

Imagery-enhancing ASUS Splendid
ASUS Splendid visual optimization technology provides the very best visuals for any type of content. It features four display modes which can be accessed with a single click. Normal mode is ideal for daily tasks; Vivid mode optimizes contrast to deliver stunning photos and video; Eye Care mode reduces blue-light levels to ease eye strain; and Manual mode allows for personalized color adjustments.

Audio

Expansive audio, tuned by experts
ASUS SonicMaster is a combination of hardware, software and audio tuning designed with the goal of giving you the very best audio experiences. Its professional-grade codec ensures precise audio encoding and decoding, while amplifiers, large speakers and resonance chambers ensure powerful audio delivery and deeper bass. Additional signal processing and tuning help refine minute details, filter noise and improve audio clarity - so you get truly immersive sound.

Fully optimized audio
ASUS Audio Wizard is a powerful software suite that makes it easy to achieve the ideal audio balance for any type of content. It also offers manual settings options, so you can take full control of your audio mix. Music mode brings your favorite songs to life; Movie mode produces cinema-quality audio; Recording mode optimizes settings for crystal-clear audio recording; Gaming mode provides truly immersive in-game audio; and Speech mode enhances the clarity of real-time dialogue in any application.

Touch

Stay cool - even after hours of use
Laptop cooling is important because it directly affects your computing experience. ASUS IceCool technology uses smart fan control, thin heat pipes and clever design to create an efficient cooling system that keeps the average surface temperature of the palm rest below 36 deg. C - lower than body temperature. This allows for robust cooling performance and ultimate user comfort.

Safe, fast-charging, longer-lasting battery

A safe fast-charging and longer-lasting battery
ASUS VivoBook laptops feature ASUS SuperBattery technology that provides up to three times longer battery life, versus standard lithium-ion cylinder battery configurations. With the ASUS SuperBattery system, a high-quality battery is complemented by new ASUS Battery Health Charging technology, which decreases the battery expansion rate. This help to extend the lifespan of the battery. In addition, fast-charge technology charges the battery to 60% in just 49 minutes.
