Asus P1511CEA reviewed: An affordable office laptop for school, office, leisure
With the P1511CEA, Asus has an office laptop in its product range which is geared toward private and business users. The price point makes the device attractive: the laptop can be had for around 350 US dollars, with the package consisting of a Core-i3-1115G4 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and Windows 10 Pro (an upgrade to Windows 11 is possible). Possible competitors include devices such as the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ITL05, the Dell Inspiron 15 3505, the Fujitsu Lifebook A3510, the Lenovo V15 ADA, and the Acer Extensa 15 EX215-54.
One laptop, many names: although the packaging has the correct name "Asus P1511CEA", a sticker on the laptop's palm rest suggests the device is an X515. In other regions, the device is marketed as the Vivobook 15 X515. In addition, in various online shops the name "ExpertBook P1" can be found.

Case & features - The Asus laptop comes with USB-C
Asus has chosen a gray plastic case with smooth, matte surfaces. The unit gaps are tight and compact as protrusions cannot be felt. The base unit and the lid can be twisted but everything is within limits. The battery (screwed, not glued) as well as the other internals are accessible after removing the bottom shell. The built-in webcam (0,3 MP, max. 640 x 480 pixels) does not have a mechanical cover.
The computer possesses three USB-A ports (2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1) and a USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 1). The latter supports neither Power Delivery nor DisplayPort via USB-C. In addition, there is also an HDMI output. A memory card reader is available as an optional extra (microSD); this was absent from our review device.
The WiFi data transfer rates under optimum conditions (no other WiFi devices nearby, a short distance between the laptop and the server PC) ) are not up-to-date. The reason for this was soon discovered: the built-in WiFi module (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377) allows a maximum transfer rate of 433 MBit/s. Wired network connections can be made using the included USB-A to ethernet adapter.

Input devices - The X515 does not feature a backlit keyboard
The chiclet keyboard's non-backlit, flat, rough-textured keys possess short travel and a clearly defined pressure point. The key resistance lacks crispness and when typing the keyboard flexes slightly, although this has not proven to be annoying. All in all, Asus has delivered a keyboard suitable for everyday use.
A multi-touch trackpad (approximately 10.5 x 7.3 cm) serves as a mouse replacement with its smooth surface resulting in a frictionless user experience. Similar to the keyboard, it has short travel and a clear pressure point.
Display - IPS on board
Asus has equipped the Vivobook with a matte, 15.6-inch display (1920 x 1080 pixels) which shows no sign of PWM flickering, regardless of the brightness setting. Brightness and contrast fall short of their respective target (> 300 cd/m² and 1.000:1 respectively) - not surprising for a low-price laptop. The competition looks very similar with only the LifeBook's screen standing out with excellent contrast.

* ... smaller is better
Out of the box, the screen displays colors very well: with a deviation of 3.8 it narrowly misses its target (DeltaE < 3). Calibration doesn't help improve color representation but ensures more balanced gray scales. The display is unable to reproduce the AdobeRGB (44 %), sRGB (64 %) and DCI-P3 (43 %) color spaces. For this reason, the panel is not suitable for application-based scenarios that rely on color accuracy. However, in this regard, the competition fares no better.

The IPS panel has stable viewing angles and is legible from any angle. Outdoors, the screen is viewable as long as the sun doesn't shine too brightly.
Performance - Enough power for office and internet use
The office laptop is aimed squarely at private and business users. Within this range, Asus uses Tiger Lake generation Intel CPUs. In addition to models with the Core i3 CPU, Core i5 and Core i7 variants are available. Depending on the specifications, prices range from around 350 to 650 US dollars.
Test conditions
The ExpertBook has three manufacturer-specific fan modes (see table) which can be switched by using the key combination "Fn" + "F". The test was carried out with "Standard Mode" active.
"Performance Mode" leads to a negligible increase in performance. The frugal Core i3 is already operating at full power when "standard mode" is active. This should look different for the P1511 models with Core i5/i7. "Whisper Mode" significantly reduces operational noise under load - at the expense of computing power.
Performance mode | Standard mode | Whisper mode | |
---|---|---|---|
Power limit 1 | 64 watt | 40 watt | 20 watt |
Power limit 2 | 64 watt | 64 watt | 64 watt |
Processor
The Core-i3-1115G4 dual-core processor (Tiger Lake) runs with a base clock speed of 3 GHz. An increase of up to 4.1 GHz is possible. Hyper-threading (two threads per core) is possible.
The Cinebench-R15 benchmark multi-thread test was carried out at 4.1 GHz and the single-thread test at 2 to 4.1 GHz. In battery mode, the clock speeds are lower. The CB15 loop test confirmed sustained use of the CPU"s turbo. Overall, the CPU scores are slightly above average.

Graphics
Intel's UHD Graphics Xe G4 graphics core can run almost constantly with a maximum clock speed of 1250 MHz) - something demonstrated in the Witcher 3 test. However, the P1511 should not be considered a gaming laptop. Nevertheless, at low settings, it can play some less demanding games smoothly. The 3DMark results as well as the frame rate are slightly above average for the kind of iGPU fitted here.

Emissions & Energy - The Asus computer hardly gets warm
Noise emissions
In everyday use (office, internet) the ExpertBook's fan often stands still and is completely silent. Under load, sound-pressure levels of up to 46 dB(A) are possible - a high level for a no-frills Core-i3 laptop. However, this extreme value should not be overestimated. The computer usually runs quietly. Generally, the "whisper mode" profile reduces noise production - at the expense of computing power.

Temperature
The laptop doesn't get particularly warm. During the stress test, we measured a temperature of just over 40 degrees celsius in one area of the laptop. In everyday use (office, internet) the temperature levels are in the green zone.
The stress test (Prime95 and FurMark in continuous operation) represents an extreme scenario for examining the system's stability under full load. In the course of the test, the CPU clock speed dropped from a starting point of 2.8 GHz to 1.6 GHz. The graphic core's speed only dropped slightly from 1200 to 1150 MHz.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 40.3 °C / 105 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 39.2 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25 °C / 77 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 27.3 °C / 81.1 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.7 °C / 81.9 F (+0.4 °C / 0.8 F).

Power consumption
The computer doesn't display any abnormalities in terms of power consumption and all values can be considered normal for a laptop equipped with this kind of hardware. In the course of the stress test, the power consumption dropped due to the reduced clock speed. The power supply unit (45 watts) is perfectly suitable for the job at hand.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - A reasonably-priced office laptop
The P1 is equipped with a Core i3-1115G4 CPU, 8 GB of RAM (Dual-Channel mode), and a PCIe 3.0 SSD (256 GB) for office and internet use. Heat noise and production are mostly acceptable.
The P1511CEA's price point makes it an attractive proposition: for around 350 US dollars you get a straightforward Tiger Lake laptop together with Windows 10/ 11 Pro. However, a price like this means compromises: the matte, FHD display suffers from both low brightness and contrast. Nevertheless, Asus has implemented an IPS panel with good viewing angle stability. In this budget price segment, a TN display is often the order of the day.
Battery life is nothing to write home about. Out and about, the device can be powered by the compact, proprietary PSU (145 grams) but power supply via USB-C adapter is not possible. The poor-quality webcam (0.3 MP) should only be considered for participation in video conferences, and, if necessary, an external camera should be used.
An alternative to the Asus laptop is the Extenso 15 EX215-54. This competitor delivers considerably more computational power as well as better battery life than the Asus laptop. However, weaknesses can be found as no Windows operating system is present and poorer viewing angle stability. A second alternative device is the LifeBook A3510, offering less processing power than the P1511. However, in other areas, the laptop stands out: this machine has a removable DVD burner and a maintenance flap.
