The ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED (M1505) can turn some heads thanks to its OLED panel. Our laptop has the default 1080p display option (Samsung ATNA56YX03-0 (SDC4161)) that is color-accurate and boasts full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage. Also, the pixel response times are snappy and the viewing angles are wide. This screen is a great choice for watching movies and you’ll see much more details in dark scenes thanks to the infinite contrast ratio. The typical OLED PWM usage isn’t a problem because there is an “OLED Flicker-Free Dimming” mode that can be found in the MyASUS app. Alright, the display is the main event here but what about the performance? It’s good because the cooling is a bit beefier with its two heat sinks and one extra long heat pipe. The optional Ryzen 7 7730U (which is the top CPU variant for the series) can maintain high clocks even during max processor load.

At a decent R17 000, the ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED M1505’s main selling point is its excellent 15” OLED display, which makes working on this simply great. The lightweight body (1.7 kg) might be plastic but it’s stylish (and a fingerprint magnet tbh), the keyboard is great for typing, and it comes with a battery life that will last you through the worst of stage 6. While the sound might be middling, there’s very little performance wise that distracts from the Vivobook 15 OLED M1505 being a winning notebook. However, Asus does not make things easy, since the model below this, with a Ryzen 5 processor and 8 GB of RAM, goes for R4k less - a very tempting proposition if you are looking to save some bucks.

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.
