Archive.org versionTo be honest, we were a bit surprised by the performance output of this machine. Ultimately, it is pretty good for photo editing and even some 1080p video edits. Playing light titles like the CS:GO won’t be an issue either. You just have to make sure you use the dual-channel capability of the device. In fact, this is exactly what we did. Now, it’s a bit unfortunate that there is only one SODIMM slot, as either 4 or 8GB are soldered to the motherboard. Additionally, you get two slots for storage expansion – one M.2 and one 2.5-inch SATA, but there are no accessories for the latter. Indeed, the VivoBook 15 OLED K513 is not the perfect laptop, but we think that it utilizes its hardware perfectly, and offers its users a good run for their money.

Archive.org versionThe ASUS VivoBook K15 comes at a very affordable price point and offers an OLED panel for a nice viewing experience. Even on key aspects like portability and usability, the VivoBook K15 competes well with the competition and has a reasonably slim form factor… with the tinny speakers and not-so-great battery life being the only niggles. My review unit is specced-up, which moves its price up to Rs 65,990, but it still seems like a worthwhile choice in my opinion. In a nutshell, the VivoBook K15 is a sound deal for its price.

Archive.org versionA premium OLED panel on an everyday workhorse makes a considerable difference to the usage experience. The OLED is the only thing that’s exciting about this laptop, but that’s not a bad thing. Even without that OLED, the specs are good, and performance is excellent for the way this laptop is meant to be used. I would have liked a more subtle design, but that’s just a matter of taste. When it comes to variants, here’s what I’d recommend: the Intel Core i5 + 16 GB RAM + 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD model goes for Rs 68,990 (Rs 66,990 during the upcoming Big Billion Days Sale on Flipkart). The 8 GB variant with similar specs will go for Rs 66,000. Between the two, opt for the 16 GB RAM variant. It’s not that much more expensive and worth the performance bump. Going for Rs 47,000 (Rs 46,000 during the sale), the i3 version, though, is the true sweet-spot. I don’t believe there’s any other laptop on the market offering an OLED, let alone a good LCD, at this price point. If your budget is Rs 50,000, it’ll be hard to pass up on an offer as good as this.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
