Review – ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED M513U: It’s actually good!
Source: NLT
And for my absolutely most favorite part of this laptop – the price. For RM3,499, you get this laptop. I actually think it’s quite an okay price considering that you are getting the powerful AMD Ryzen 7 5700U chip with a beautiful OLED screen. However, the shortcoming – at least for me – is the keyboard. I can live with everything else about this laptop – especially the price. But, maybe you don’t want that much performance on your laptop. Maybe you just want to do some simpler work. Then there’s also another AMD Ryzen 5 5500U version for a lower price of RM3,199 with the same 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. That is just unbeatable. Just in case you found out about the Intel variant of the Vivobook 15 OLED with the codename K513EA with the enticing price of RM2,799 – I suggest you to proceed with caution. While the Core i3 should be sufficient for most basic tasks, that K513EA version comes with only 4GB RAM. I’m not sure about upgradability but you’ll need to add some ka-ching to make it at least 8GB to be usable. That drives the cost up to about RM3,000 easily.

Gaming test – ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED M513U with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
Source: Tech Critter
What we’re going to do today is a gaming test on the ASUS Vivobook 15 M513U. This laptop comes with pretty epic hardware for a low-powered laptop. Equipped with a 15.6-inch 1080p OLED screen, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD, this laptop – for the price of RM3,499, this is a pretty decent deal overall. So, let’s dissect this laptop and take a look at what performance it can offer. The current amount of VRAM is 4GB, which is just 50% of the system memory. I’m not sure what will happen to the amount of VRAM if we swap out that 4GB RAM stick for 16GB. Will it become 10GB VRAM? How does it split between the soldered on-board RAM and the 16GB stick? Hmmmm… Anyway, that’s a question for another day. As for now, I’m really loving this laptop’s level of performance. I’m amazed by what the Ryzen 7 5700U has to offer for the price of RM3,499. If you want to learn more about this laptop, check out the review here. Of course, if you don’t need this high level of performance, there is another Ryzen 5 5500U variant with a lower price of RM3,199.
