Reviews for the Asus VivoBook Pro 15 M6500XV
Source: Trusted Reviews
Asus’ Vivobook Pro 15 (2024) is a generally solid laptop designed for creatives and those who could do with a bit more oomph for day-to-day computing. The presence of a dedicated GPU and beefy Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU help this particular laptop to offer solid performance relative to its price, while its port selection is also fantastic against more expensive ultrabooks including the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 for instance. Its port selection is also fantastic with a marvellous range of inputs, while the battery life is long enough to get through a working day. Charging speeds are also reasonable if you are caught short and need to charge up. With the Vivobook Pro 15 (2024), it’s the display that doesn’t hold up against other modern ultrabooks, including the OLED version of this very laptop which far exceeds it at the expense of worse battery life. This is a generally excellent laptop for its asking price, though. For more options, check out our list of the best laptops we’ve tested.

The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 is the best laptop for creatives with a budget of under $1500 to play with. It can cope with everything from advanced photo editing using the gorgeous Pantone-certified OLED display, to 3D modelling with Adobe software, and you can even finish off the day with a light gaming session too. It’s fast and reliable, but not the best if you need a premium workhorse laptop, sitting at the mid-range level of creative workstations. It doesn't have a fancy hinge or dual-monitor design like other ASUS models, but if you can live without these things and just need a machine to get you through the day, then the Vivobook won't let you down.

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.
