Asus VivoBook 15 K571LI Laptop Review: Gaming Multimedia Hybrid

Part gamer, part multimedia workhorse. It's the most powerful version of the VivoBook 15 you can get at the moment, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best. This GeForce GTX-powered laptop is set back by its average battery life and colors.

The VivoBook series is home to Asus' mid-range multimedia laptops or Ultrabooks designed to be a step down from the pricier flagship ZenBook series. In this case, our VivoBook 15 K571LI is a higher-end model in the family targeting performance users who aren't ready to spend hundreds of dollars more on the HP Envy 15, MacBook Pro 15, or Dell XPS 15. This particular system offers many of the same performance features including Core H-series CPUs and GeForce GTX-level GPUs without breaking the bank.

Our test unit today comes fully equipped courtesy of Computer Upgrade King for approximately $1100 to $1200 USD retail. Lesser SKUs without our Core i7 CPU, 120 Hz 1080p display, 1 TB SSD, and 40 GB of RAM are also available.

Case

The VivoBook 15 K571 series uses a different chassis design than the VivoBook 15 F512 series in order to accommodate the faster processor options. Chassis rigidity remains about the same as it's still mostly plastic. Both the base and lid will bend more easily to pressure when compared to the HP Pavilion Gaming series while being slightly more rigid than the Lenovo Legion Y540 series. It's decent for a $1000 system so long as users aren't expecting Razer, MacBook, or ZenBook metal materials.

Chassis size and weight are larger than many other multimedia laptops including the HP Envy, ZenBook 15, or Lenovo IdeaPad S540 due in part to its more powerful CPU and GPU options. It sits in between more traditional Ultrabooks and entry-level gaming laptops like the MSI GP65 or TUF A15 series to be relatively compact considering the performance.

Connectivity

Though the system integrates a good selection of ports, keep in mind that they are tightly packed and therefore not very friendly toward thicker cables. We attempted to connect an external monitor via USB-C but it was unsuccessful.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by six screws with two of those hidden underneath the rear rubber feet. Users have direct access to the main battery, SODIMM slot, WLAN module, and both storage bays.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The standard one-year limited warranty applies while individual components installed by CUKUSA are covered for three years.

Input Devices

Keyboard

Typing on the backlit keyboard is comfortable with its satisfactory key feedback and shallow travel. We still prefer the firmer and deeper keys of the HP Envy, Spectre, MSI SteelSeries or Lenovo ThinkPad T series, but such laptops also cost a lot more. If you rely on the arrow keys and NumPad keys, however, then you'd be better off with a USB keyboard since these integrated keys are spongier and smaller than the main QWERTY keys.

Touchpad

The smooth clickpad (10.5 x 7.5 cm) is smaller than the one on the HP Envy 15 (12.5 x 7.5 cm). It works well enough for basic cursor control with just the right amount of sticking when gliding at slow speeds, but the integrated mouse buttons could have been firmer. Drag and drop actions are made difficult because the cursor will sometimes jump or freeze in place when two or more fingers are on the surface. Its multi-touch recognition could definitely be better in this regard.

Layout is identical to other VivoBook laptops. The key caps, however, are slight sharper around the corners this time

Display

The Panda LM156LF IPS panel here is similar to the ones found on the ROG Strix G GL531GVTUF FX505DYROG Strix G15 G512LI, or Acer Nitro 5 AN515. It's notable for its 120 Hz native refresh rate for ultra-smooth cursor control and movement, but its colors and response times are inferior to other high refresh rate displays from LG or BOE. Expect ghosting to be more noticeable and colors to not be as vibrant when compared to other laptops in this price range.

Asus does offer a display option with wider color coverage, but it will be limited to a refresh rate of 60 Hz unlike our 120 Hz panel here. Users will have to choose one or the other with no options for both.

Color space is limited to just 60 percent and 38 percent of sRGB and AdobeRGB, respectively, to be indicative of an inexpensive panel. Most Ultrabooks in this price range offer >95 percent sRGB coverage for deeper and more accurate colors.

The display is not well calibrated out of the box with an overly cool color temperature and a relatively high grayscale deltaE value of 5.8. These shortcomings improve noticeably after calibrating the panel ourselves, but colors still become increasingly inaccurate at higher saturation levels due to the limited color space mentioned above.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
24 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 13.2 ms rise
↘ 10.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 48 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
28.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16.8 ms rise
↘ 11.6 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 32 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is average at best because of the insufficient 250-nit backlight and inevitable ambient glare. ZenBooks and especially the Dell XPS 15 or MacBook Pro 15 will have brighter displays.

Performance

The Core i7-10750H, GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, and 120 Hz display are the defining features of the VivoBook 15 K571 series. While such components are common on entry-level gaming laptops, general-purpose performance users can also appreciate the hardware especially for those who desire something faster than the usual Core U-series or integrated graphics solutions.

Both soldered and removable RAM are present much like on some Asus ROG laptops. 4 GB or 8 GB comes soldered depending on the configuration alongside a single SODIMM slot supporting up to 32 GB for a combined maximum of 40 GB.

Optimus comes standard for automatic graphics switching. Our unit was set to High Performance mode prior to running any performance benchmarks below.

Processor

CPU performance is disappointing at about 15 to 20 percent slower than the average laptop in our database equipped with the same Core i7-10750H CPU. This deficit is enough to put our Asus below the last generation Core i7-9750H that the Core i7-10750H is supposed to supplant. Turbo Boost potential is also poor as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop results below.

Storage Devices

The system supports one M.2 2280 SSD and a second 2.5-inch SATA III drive which sits underneath the right palm rest. CUKUSA has configured our unit with a 1 TB Mushkin Helix MKNSSDHL1TB-08 NVMe SSD, but different drives are likely if purchased from other retailers. The Mushkin SSD is a mid-range NVMe drive with sequential read and write rates of 2110 MB/s and 1700 MB/s, respectively, to be in line with other budget to mid-range multimedia laptops like the Acer Aspire 5. Costlier laptops like Asus' own ZenBook series tend to ship with the faster Samsung PM981 drive instead.

GPU Performance

The mobile GeForce GTX 1650 Ti straddles the line between a multimedia GPU and a full-fledged gaming GPU. Overall performance is most similar to the mobile GTX 1060 especially when running DX12 titles. Graphics performance is where we expect it to be relative to other laptops with the same GPU option.

See our dedicated page on the mobile GTX 1650 Ti for more technical information and benchmarks.

Emissions

System Noise

Fan noise is always active at a minimum of 31.9 dB(A) against a background of 25.7 dB(A) even when on the Power Saver profile. Though not loud enough to be bothersome, it's still audible when working in quieter environments like classrooms or libraries compared to newer Ultrabooks which are usually silent on Power Saver mode.

Running higher loads like games will induce a fan noise of 43.9 dB(A) up to even 50 dB(A) to be more like a gaming laptop than a multimedia laptop. The HP Pavilion Gaming 15 behaves similarly when under gaming loads but it is generally quieter across the board.

Cooling solution consists of two 45 to 50 mm fans and two copper heat pipes between them

Temperature

Surface temperatures are quite warm even when simply idling on desktop with hot spots reaching over 32 C and 38 C on the top and bottom, respectively. These same spots can become as warm as 44 C to even 70 C on the bottom since the heat pipes are touching the bottom plate. These areas are thankfully toward the rear of the chassis and away from the palm rests, though we still recommend using a flat desk when running such extreme loads.

Stress Test

When running Prime95, CPU clock rates would boost to 4.2 GHz until hitting a core temperature of 95 C about 10 seconds later. Thereafter, clock rates drop to the 3.1 to 3.2 GHz range in order to maintain a cooler temperature of 76 C. The Alienware m15 R3 with the same Core i7-10750H stabilizes at a much higher 4.2 GHz when under similar conditions which explains our slower-than-average CineBench results above for the Asus.

When gaming, CPU and GPU temperatures would stabilize at 87 C and 78 C, respectively, compared to 71 C and 68 C on the HP Pavilion Gaming 15. Such temperatures are very warm to suggest that the cooling solution was tailored specifically for the TDP levels of the Core H-series CPU and GTX 1650 Ti GPU and not any higher.

Running on batteries will limit performance. A Fire Strike test on battery power would return Physics and Graphics scores of 10274 and 7804 points, respectively, compared to 16969 and 9691 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop would consume between 6 W and 19 W to be less power efficient than most Ultrabooks. The high consumption also explains the short battery life numbers in our next section below.

Overall power consumption is more similar to gaming machines like the ROG Strix G15 G512LI rather than other multimedia machines. Gaming will draw at least 99 W from the small-medium (~13.8 x 6.8 x 2.4 cm) 150 W AC adapter and the charging rate will slow if running more demanding loads.

Power consumption when running 3DMark 06 fluctuates between 75 W and 123 W

Battery Life

Battery capacity is small at just 42 Wh which, when combined with the high power consumption rates above, result in short runtimes. Expect just over 3.5 hours of real-world WLAN use when set to the Balanced power profile with the integrated GPU active. Users may be able to squeeze out more from the battery if set to Power Saver mode.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes about 1.5 hours. The system cannot be recharged via USB-C.

Verdict

In review: Asus VivoBook 15 K571LI-PB71. Test unit provided by CUKUSA.com

The VivoBook 15 K571 is at its best for students who want an affordable laptop for both gaming and classwork that's also relatively portable. It's powerful for the size and weight and as a middle-ground solution between a traditional Ultrabook and an entry-level gaming laptop. Very few laptops in this price range come with a 120 Hz panel option as well.

If you don't have any use for a Core H-series CPU or GTX 1650 Ti GPU, then a ZenBook would be the better option. Battery life, fan noise, and temperatures are just average at best on the VivoBook 15 due to the demanding processors within.

We recommend choosing the display carefully. Asus offers three options: 1080p120 45% NTSC, 1080p60 45% NTSC, or 1080p60 72% NTSC. The 1080p120 45% NTSC option will be best for gaming even after accounting for the average black-white response times. For editing and graphics work, the 1080p60 72% NTSC option will be better for its deeper colors.

The Asus VivoBook 15 K571 doesn't particularly excel at one singular aspect, but it balances being a multimedia machine and gaming machine fairly well for its inexpensive price.
