ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED D1505YA-MA326W 15.6" 2.8K 120Hz AMD Ryzen 7 7730U - 40GB RAM - 512GB SSD

This laptop is perfect as a mobile workstation, its capable of some impressive performance for intergrated graphics,
The specifications on the store page are incorrect about the display however, it isn't a 60hz panel its 120hz and still capable of the same inky blacks of oled and good colour performance in dci-p3. The battery lasts a full day at Uni and can be charged quickly with the included 45 watt charger or optionally you can get a usb pd capable usb c charger and charge even quicker or even using a powerbanki.
IO (ports) nothing to complain, with 3x usb A, 1x usb c, 1x headphone microphone combo jack and 1x hdmi port you can easily do...view more This laptop is perfect as a mobile workstation, its capable of some impressive performance for intergrated graphics,

If for whatever reason you want gaming performance from this I was able to get playable (~40) fps playing baldurs gate 3 at lowest settings at 720p with better performance indoors. The intergrated graphics are strong enough to reasonably use for blender work however I wouldn't suggest exporting anything on it especially when using cycles as a renderer.

An amazing and powerful laptop, with a powerful processer, absolutely stunning screen and enough ram to last you for AGES. But my main issue i have encountered a couple deal breaking issues recently
NUM 1: The battery sucks, this beast eats power like a 5 star meal, its advertised 6H of battery life (I believe) tends to last less than 2! meaning it constantly has to be on charge.
NUM 2: The Temps, This laptop when preforming any tasks greater than a single tab of google, RUNS HOTTER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN (Not literally) HITTING 97c WHEN UNDER 75% USEAGE!! making your lap uncomfortably hot.
NUM 3: The noise, For perspective i have tested...view more An amazing and powerful laptop, with a powerful processer, absolutely stunning screen and enough ram to last you for AGES. But my main issue i have encountered a couple deal breaking issues recently

NUM 2: The Temps, This laptop when preforming any tasks greater than a single tab of google, RUNS HOTTER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN (Not literally) HITTING 97c WHEN UNDER 75% USEAGE!! making your lap uncomfortably hot.
NUM 3: The noise, For perspective i have tested many laptops and build full desktop computers regularly to sell or fix, and i don't tend to mind the sound of fans ramping up. BUT THIS LAPTOP IS THE LOUDEST AND MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SOUNDING I HAVE HEAR HANDS DOWWNN. it is however useful that you can turn them down manually in the included software but still, the noise is incredibly disruptive and unpleasant.
NUM 4: I suspect this is a felt to mine specifically but, every five minutes at most the screen flickers and glitches before the built in AMD software reports a GPU bug and pops up asking if id like to report it, This bug seems to occur when playing media
NUM 5: speakers, Worst I've ever heard
I also one had an error when upon restarting the system my boot drive did not register with laptop and was not detected, even after a second restart no drive was detected, it took a furthermore 5 restarts to get the computer back up and running
NUM 6: The number pad... it makes me sad, sounds cheep and bad, also makes the board flex. apart form that, build quality is passible (apart from screen, the screen is incredibly flexible and fragile)

I would say that there are some nice features on this laptop, but honestly i wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they had extensive knowledge about the operations of computers and how to diagnose these issues.

Perfect for students. 15 OLED do not normally appear at this price range. The screen is beautiful with vivid colour and true black. 2.8k resolution has much bigger screen space for multiple windows. 16GB RAM is enough for this spec. Some people might think plastic looks cheap compare to aluminum but they are lighter.

Overall, very happy with this purchase. Perfect for students. 15 OLED do not normally appear at this price range.

We are loving our new Asus Vivobook, no issues at all.
It is very easy to navigate, loads with the blink of an eye and the same with shutdown. We are loving our new Asus Vivobook, no issues at all.

The Asus with an OLED screen is fantastic for viewing photos and video with realistic colours and crisp outlines The Asus with an OLED screen is fantastic for viewing photos and video with realistic colours and crisp outlines

Got this laptop recently and I'm really impressed. First time I've gone with AMD Instead of intel but it runs well. I wanted a laptop that would run Quiet and these Low power processors really seem to do the job but still have enough power to do anything for your daily driver. I wouldnt game on it as it's not meant for that though. The oled screen looks awesome and the higher resolution is very noticeable and it is 120hz not 60hz. The speakers do suck, like seriously suck. The worst laptop speakers I've ever heard but for the price and the other specs I can get over that. One downside to this laptop is the wifi card. They clearly cheaped out...view more Got this laptop recently and I'm really impressed. First time I've gone with AMD Instead of intel but it runs well.

The worst laptop speakers I've ever heard but for the price and the other specs I can get over that. One downside to this laptop is the wifi card. They clearly cheaped out on this. It constantly gets bad ping and slow speeds 20 to 30 mbps, if it's running on battery and even when plugged in that only helps ping, not speed. When plugged in speed is lucky to get over 40mbps even when connecting to the same wifi that all other devices easily get 100mbps on. These bad speed and ping issues haven't stopped me from using it. Seems to play Netflix and Disney and surf the web fine. But it's worth noting that the wifi experience on this laptop won't be great.

The computer is nice and responsive with respectable battery life especially when the oled screen is showing alot of black.

Speaking about that screen it's one of the best I have personally used on any device, at this laptops full price it's a good buy and at the discounted rate you can sometimes get it's legendary The computer is nice and responsive with respectable battery life especially when the oled screen is showing alot of black.

Great price for such an amazing screen Great price for such an amazing screen

Was looking for a laptop to replace my Chromebook and must say every laptop I saw that wasn't touch screen or oled left slot to be desired, so I decided to go for this laptop, screen quality is amazing so much nicer when watching movies and TV shows now screen sometimes flickers but that's nearly only when pausing something and only for a split second so doesn't bother me. Really happy with this purchase don't think there's another laptop I would of wanted.

A tidy little laptop that was relatively easy to configure to my way of working. Battery life seems good, display is awesome and the larger than usual touch pad is a godsend for 'fumble fingers' in my senior years!
I would prefer the power switch to be on the outside rather than under the lid, but there's pros and cons for both options.
