Overview
Opening flat to share a screen across a table is one trick of the ASUS Vivobook, an everyday sixteen inch laptop on an AMD Ryzen processor. A numeric keypad, webcam shield and a mix of USB-A and USB-C ports cover routine work and study.
Worth it for a big, tall screen, fast top-up charging and a durable build for daily home and school use. The memory is listed at its maximum, so the laptop will feel tight with many browser tabs or larger apps open.
Who it's for
Suited to everyday browsing, schoolwork and streaming where a large display and a numeric keypad help. Power users with dozens of tabs and apps open will feel limited by the memory.
Pros and cons
- Tall sixteen inch screen
- Fast top-up charging
- Lay-flat hinge for sharing
- Numeric keypad on keyboard
- 8 GB memory, listed as the maximum
- Older HDMI 1.4 output
- Modest 300 nit brightness
Performance notes
Responsiveness depends on the memory as much as the Ryzen chip, since a small memory pool fills quickly with browser tabs and pushes work onto the SSD. Fast charging restores a low battery quickly, but runtime is set by battery capacity and screen brightness.
