Reviews for the Asus Vivobook 15 M513UA-L1282T
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.

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.

ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED
ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED is a laptop that stands out with a Ryzen 7 5700U APU, 16GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), and an OLED screen (FHD, 15.6 inches). It features a glossy black matte case made of metal (the back of the lid) and plastic (the base unit). The glossy OLED screen (15.6 inches, 1,920 x 1,080 pixels) has excellent contrast (especially black levels) and a short response time. Brightness values (370.6 cd/m²) are good. The reproduction rate of sRGB and DCI-P3 color space is 100%, and the reproduction rate of Adobe RGB color space is at least 98%. The viewing angle-stable panel can be read from any position. Outdoor reading is a little difficult due to the reflective display surface.
The keys of the unlit wooden keyboard provide a short underline and a clear pressure point. Overall, Asus offers a keyboard that's good for everyday use. The smooth surface of the multi-touch trackpad (approximately 10.5 x 7.3 cm) allows fingers to glide easily and even react to input in corners. The touchpad has short travel and clear pressure points. With the VivoBook 15 OLED, Asus has an office notebook in its lineup that offers enough performance for office and internet applications as well as simple computer gaming. The CPU section of the Ryzen 7 5700U APU consists of an octa-core processor running at a base clock of 1.8 GHz. With Turbo, it can go up to 4.35GHz and supports simultaneous multithreading (two threads per core).
The Ryzen 7 5700U is paired with AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 4000/5000), 16GB DDR4 RAM and 512GB SSD storage. The notebook has three manufacturer-specific performance profiles, namely "Performance Mode", "Balanced Mode", "Quiet Mode", which the user can alternate between using the key combination "Fn"+"F". As for connectivity, the computer has three USB-A ports (2 USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 1). The latter supports neither Power Delivery nor DisplayPort over USB-C. This means that only one HDMI port for video output is available. As a conclusion, the Asus Vivobook 15 is a laptop that features a fast and smooth running system, which provides sufficient computing power for office and Internet applications. To a limited extent, games are also possible. The display offers stable viewing angles, good color reproduction, short response times, and sufficiently high brightness. This makes it suitable for working professionals to work on the go.
