Asus VivoBook 15X OLED M3504 Laptop Review: Capable daily driver with AMD Ryzen Barcelo-R and OLED
The VivoBook lineup is geared towards those looking for an affordable multimedia and productivity solution. Asus has progressively improved its daily-driver VivoBook series over the years, and the majority of the portfolio now features OLED panels. However, this year's VivoBook's offerings seen more iterative than innovative.
Previously, the VivoBook 15X featured H-series chips such as the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H. This year, Asus is offering several VivoBook 15X laptops with Intel 13th gen Raptor Lake-P and AMD Ryzen 7030U processors while Intel 13th gen H45 CPUs are offered only with the VivoBook 14X and VivoBook 16X series.
We now have with us the new Asus VivoBook 15X M3504. This laptop is powered by an AMD Barcelo-R Ryzen 5 7530U processor with integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 graphics.
Our VivoBook 15X unit also features a 15.6-inch 1080p 60 Hz Samsung OLED panel, 16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, a 512 GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, and a 50 WHr battery. Currently, this configuration retails at a discounted price of ₹66,990 (US$813) in India. A VivoBook 15X K3504 variant with Intel Alder Lake-P is also available starting from ₹79,990.
In this review, we take the new VivoBook 15X OLED for a spin and see how well the re-refresh of the two-year-old Cezanne Zen 3 architecture holds up in 2023.

Case: Lightweight plastic chassis with some flex
Asus offers the VivoBook 15X in Cool Silver and Indie Black color options. The new VivoBook 15X M3504 feels similar to previous VivoBooks we've tested. The construction is primarily plastic with the exception of the metal lid that sports the distinctive VivoBook logo and can be laid flat at a 180° angle.
The 1.7 kg body weight is uniformly distributed, giving the impression of lightness. The lid can be opened with one finger. Under strain, however, there is noticeable flex in the keyboard and display.
Asus also claims to have incorporated Antimicrobial Guard technology over frequently touched areas of the chassis that supposedly inhibits 99% bacterial growth over a 24-hour period in conformity with ISO 22196 standards.
Connectivity: Not a very ideal port distribution
The majority of the ports are on the right edge with only one USB 2.0 Type-A port on the left. The ports are evenly spaced, but having most of them on one side can be inconvenient while attaching external peripherals.
The lone USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port enables Power Delivery but not DisplayPort output. The HDMI 1.4 specification limits external monitor output to 4K 30 Hz.
Communication
The MediaTek MT7902 WLAN card in the VivoBook 15X supports Wi-Fi 6E reception. However, the performance, while good, falls significantly short of that of the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 card when tested with our reference Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 router.
Overall throughput does not differ significantly between the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, although the latter does allow for slightly higher peak speeds.

Webcam
Asus equips the VivoBook 15X with a 720p webcam. According to the company, the webcam provides 3D noise reduction and AI effects via the MyAsus app.
Nevertheless, the camera shows large color deviations, particularly with red shades in the X-Rite ColorChecker passport. The test chart output appears to be fairly noisy as well.
Having said that, the webcam should still be adequate for the occasional video call or two. A physical webcam shutter is provided for privacy.
Security
The VivoBook 15X OLED lacks an IR camera, but it does have a quick, responsive fingerprint reader in the upper right corner of the touchpad. A TPM 2.0 module is available as well.
Accessories and Warranty
There are no additional accessories in the box aside from the 65 W power adapter and the usual paperwork.
Asus offers a one-year standard warranty for the VivoBook 15X OLED in India. Buyers can presently take advantage of discounted warranty extension and local accidental damage protection offerings as part of Back to College promotions through June 30, 2023.
Maintenance
The back panel can be removed by unscrewing the ten PH0 screws. Make a note of which screw goes where, as it can be difficult to fit them back in correctly later.
Because 8 GB of RAM is soldered to the motherboard, there is only one SO-DIMM socket for memory extension up to 16 GB. The WLAN card and NVMe SSD are swappable, and the battery may be unscrewed and changed if necessary.
Input Devices: Full-size keyboard and roomy touchpad with good tactility
Keyboard
The full-size ErgoSense keyboard on the VivoBook 15X has uniformly spaced, dish-shaped keys that travel 1.4 mm and provide good tactile feedback. The Enter key stands out from the others with its distinctive VivoBook design.
The top row contains the Function keys, which also serve as shortcuts for critical functions. The camera cannot be turned off from here; however, the microphone can be muffled. A three-stage backlight provides white illumination for nighttime legibility.
Touchpad
The 9.5 cm x 17 cm touchpad has a smooth, responsive gliding surface and supports Windows Precision gestures.
The whole surface functions as a left mouse button. Clicks are relatively effortless and generate little noise.
Display: Vibrant 60 Hz OLED with DC Dimming
The VivoBook 15X features same Samsung ATNA56YX03 OLED panel as the VivoBook 15 KM513, VivoBook 15 Pro, and ZenBook Pro 15. Thus, the panel characteristics are essentially consistent across these laptops. There is no backlight bleed by virtue of this being an OLED panel.
The brightness distribution is excellent at 97% with a virtually infinite contrast ratio. SDR peak brightness appears to be slightly lower compared to the aforementioned models, but it should still be enough for most applications. The display also supports VESA DisplayHDR 600 for HDR content.

The MyAsus app offers settings for preventing OLED burn-in along with several color profile choices. We used the Normal mode with a native color profile and performed color calibration in the Display P3 color space.
The panel covers virtually the entire sRGB and Display P3 color gamuts. Adobe RGB coverage is also outstanding at 96.3%, which should make this display very adaptable for both media viewing and serious content creation.
The VivoBook 15X's display is already adequately calibrated out of the box. Our calibration routine using the X-Rite i1Basic Pro 3 spectrophotometer and Portrait Display's Calman Ultimate color calibration software significantly improves the Grayscale Delta E 2000 to 0.5 and the average ColorChecker Delta E 2000 to 2.08.

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 14 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.3 ms). | ||
Due to the nature of background PWM flickering, calculating the response times is not a straightforward process. Manual estimation shows that the panel takes 20 ms for a 100% black to 100% white transition, which is on the higher side for an OLED panel. The 50% grey to 80% grey transition is relatively quicker at 4.8 ms.
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 60 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8437 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The VivoBook 15X's OLED panel employs a 60 Hz PWM frequency to manage display brightness. This is a low frequency, which can be problematic for those who are sensitive to PWM.
We recommend utilizing this panel at brightness settings below 51%. At these levels, the panel switches to a 60 Hz DC Dimming mode, which should be less taxing on the eyes than PWM.
For more information, check out our articles, "Why PWM is such a headache" and "Analysis: DC Dimming vs PWM — Can you dim AMOLED displays without the flickering". Our PWM Ranking table provides an overview of measured PWM across all reviewed devices.
The glossy screen makes outdoor viewing challenging under direct sunlight. Viewing angles are very consistent, but we do observe some green tinting at the extremes which is not uncommon with OLEDs.
Performance: Minor gains over the original Barcelo
Our VivoBook 15X unit is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U APU. Asus also offers the VivoBook 15X with an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U option. The laptop supports up to 16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM extension, of which 8 GB is soldered.
Testing Conditions
The MyAsus app allows you to select from a variety of fan profiles. The PL0, or Skin Temperature Aware Power Management (STAPM), remains constant at 15 W across all profiles.
We utilized the Performance mode for all benchmarks and the Standard mode for battery tests.
| Fan Profile | PL0 / STAPM Limit (W) | PL1 Limit (W) | PL2 Limit (W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whisper | 15 | 25 | 32 |
| Standard | 15 | 37 | 40 |
| Performance | 15 | 37 | 42 |
Processor
The Ryzen 5 7530U is a 6C/12T processor with a TDP of 15 W. This is the second Zen 3 Cezanne refresh, dubbed Barcelo Refresh. In comparison to the Ryzen 5 5625U, the Ryzen 5 7530U has a 300 MHz lower base clock speed and a 200 MHz higher boost frequency.
The Ryzen 5 7530U trails the Ryzen 7 7730U by 3% in Cinebench R15 multi, but we observe a bit of throttling after the 10th run.
Cumulatively, the Ryzen 5 7530U offers a modest 5% performance improvement over the Ryzen 5 5625U in the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 and the 45 W Ryzen 5 5600H in the VivoBook 15X M1503QA. However, it falls 8% short of the Ryzen 7 7730U in the IdeaPad Flex 5 16.

Storage Devices
The Micron 2400 512 GB NVMe SSD does not break any I/O speed records, lagging far behind the Western Digital SN740, Samsung PM9B1, and Micron's own 2450-class SSDs.
Nonetheless, the performance should be more than adequate for casual home or multimedia use.
We did not observe any performance throttling in extensive DiskSpd read loop tests at a queue depth of 8. There is no scope for storage expansion of any kind.

Emissions: Single heatpipe and fan combo does all the heavy lifting
System Noise
Asus uses a single fan in the VivoBook 15X, as in previous VivoBooks. Our noise tests indicate that Asus has likely capped the maximum noise level in each fan profile — Whisper 30 db(A), Standard 40 dB(A), and Performance 50 dB(A).
We did not observe any annoying coil while or component sounds during testing. Subjectively, the VivoBook 15X operates silently for the most part. We suggest going with the Standard fan profile for general usage.

Temperature
The VivoBook 15X's single-fan single-heatpipe cooling system performs a good job of keeping surface temperatures tolerable. The bottom left side of the chassis experiences heat accumulation of up to 54.2 °C, while the top surface, touchpad, and palmrest sections remain relatively cool.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39 °C / 102 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 54.2 °C / 130 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 26.9 °C / 80 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 33.2 °C / 92 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 31.6 °C / 88.9 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (-2.8 °C / -5.1 F).

Stress Test
Stressing the VivoBook 15X with Prime95 in-place large FFTs sees the Ryzen 5 7530U attain a max boost of 4.05 GHz while consuming nearly 42 W.
Adding FurMark to the equation causes the max boost clock to drop close to 3.8 GHz and the CPU package power to 28 W. The RX Vega 7 then makes use of this thermal and power headroom to boost up to 1,425 MHz while consuming 30 W.
We see higher boosts for both the Ryzen 5 7530U (4.5 GHz) and Vega 7 (2,000 MHz) when stressed with The Witcher 3 at 1080p Ultra. During this stress, the iGPU consumes about 27 W on average, but this can spike up to 60 W.
| Stress Test | CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | Average GPU Temperature (°C) |
| System Idle | 2.99 | 399 | 38.5 | 38.1 |

Speakers
The VivoBook 15X sports a pair of bottom-firing stereo speakers. At a peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 75.4 dB(A), the speakers aren't exactly earth-shattering but are loud-enough to fill an average-sized room and for enjoying multimedia.
The bass response is not particularly deep, but the mids and highs seem clean. Asus installs a DTS audio processing app for tuning the sound output. Better audio output can be had either via the 3.5 mm combo audio jack or via Bluetooth.

Energy Management: Frugal power consumption with great battery life
Power Consumption
When it comes to energy consumption, the VivoBook 15X comes across as a frugal power sipper.
AMD's modest gains in power efficiency with the Ryzen 5 7530U appear to be reflected in how its previous generation equivalent, the Ryzen 5 5625U, consumes 27% more power overall in the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15.

Battery Life
The power consumption benefits translate into good battery life gains as well. The VivoBook 15X's 50 WHr battery will comfortably last a typical day's work and still have some juice left by the time you finish for the day.
The battery life during a 1080p video playback loop test at 150 nits with WLAN turned off is particularly impressive.

Verdict: Decent daily driver with some inevitable compromises
When we reviewed the Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 back in 2021, we praised the laptop for making Zen 3 and OLED more affordable. It's been two years since then, and Asus seems happy resting on its laurels. The new VivoBook 15X M3504, while a good mid-range laptop in its own right, is essentially just old wine in new bottle.
The VivoBook 15X's plasticky construction may not be inspiring, but it enables easy portability. Asus endows the VivoBook 15X with a decent set of ports and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, but the non-ideal clustering of all important ports towards one side could have been avoided.
The Asus VivoBook 15X builds on the winning formula of its predecessors. It offers adequate performance for casual computing, but AMD's re-rehash of a two-year old architecture is beginning to show its age.
There's only so much performance that can be extracted by refining older silicon, and Cezanne seems to have hit a saturation here given that we see only minor gains with the Ryzen 5 7530U over a Ryzen 5 5625U found in the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15.
That being said, AMD's refinements in Barcelo-R do pay dividends in terms of low power consumption and long battery life in the VivoBook 15X. The Ryzen 5 7530U is even faster than a 45 W Ryzen 5 5600H in the last gen VivoBook 15X M1503QA.
The VivoBook 15X's OLED display is another noteworthy aspect of the device. While it's still hard to get OLED HDR displays in mid-range laptops, Asus's VivoBook have started a promising trend. For instance, the vanilla Samsung Galaxy Book3 also retails at a similar price (after discounts) but makes do with a mediocre IPS panel with poor brightness.
However, the manufacturer uses the same Samsung panel year after year, which results in very low PWM, regular 60 Hz refresh rates, and only a 16:9 1080p option. External monitors are also limited to 4K 30 Hz since the laptop only offers HDMI 1.4-out.
If these compromises aren't as critical and you are primarily looking for a laptop for basic productivity or school with good battery life, the Asus VivoBook 15X should feature high on your wish list.
