82% Asus Vivobook 16 (A1605V) Review – Red Pill Or Blue Pill?
Source: Pokde
The ASUS Vivobook 16 in Intel form will cost slightly more than its AMD counterpart at RM3,199, but just like the Team Red’s laptop, this is a budget workhorse for those who want to get things done without blowing a big hole into their wallets. However, I’d personally stick with the AMD version because there’s more multi-core performance on offer (which will be noticeable compared to single-core), even at a slight battery life deficit.

At RM3,199, the ASUS Vivobook 16 A1605 delivers a compelling value proposition. The screen might be a limitation for specific uses, but the performance is surprisingly strong, even handling some games. I do recommend you check out this laptop if it suits your budget as we’re getting quite good value here. It’s just the screen that I wish was better.

Review – ASUS Vivobook 16 A1605: Good choice for RM3,199
Source: NLT
So, at the end, this laptop is RM3,199 and I think it’s quite good in terms of value. Sure, the screen is might be a problem for certain use cases, but the performance is actually really good. We can even play some games on it and I think that’s great. However, if you want something at around the same price but with more performance, then take a look at this MSI laptop. I’ll leave it at the end screen here – and if you have any questions about this ASUS Vivobook 16 A1605, leave them in the comments section below. I think it’s a great laptop for many people.

ASUS Vivobook 16 A1607 (Snapdragon) review – only RM2,999 for this laptop
Source: NLT
Still, if you just want something simple – then the ASUS Vivobook 16 A1607 should be on your list. It’s supremely affordable at just RM2,999. I know that the price is enticing, but please know what you’re getting into before actually purchasing a Snapdragon laptop. I will say it again – app compatibility has improved a lot – and you can check out this website to find out if the apps you use are compatible or not – but compatibility does not mean the apps will run with the best performance possible. From experience, DaVinci Resolve and some games can be launched but the performance is… disappointing, to say the least. We have other videos to talking about Snapdragon laptops – do watch those videos and leave your questions down in the comments section below so that we can help you out.

80% Asus Vivobook 16 M1607KA review: Ryzen AI power in a big-screen budget package
Source: 91mobiles
The VivoBook 16 M1607KA is not a statement piece. It is instead a sensible, large-screen laptop that quietly leverages AMD’s most advanced mainstream processor to deliver the kind of balanced experience most buyers actually need. The screen is roomy, the keyboard comfortable, the performance snappy, and the battery genuinely long-lasting. Shortcomings do exist. The panel is merely adequate for colour work, the port arrangement omits SD and Type-C charging, and the webcam could use an upgrade. Yet, weighed against the asking price, those flaws shrink. For students who juggle research, coding projects, and Netflix, for remote workers who crave a bigger canvas than a 13-inch ultrabook can provide, and for families who want one machine that handles homework by day and light gaming by night, the Vivobook 16 M1607KA represents strong value.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 80 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

AMD Radeon 860M: A fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in early 2025 and a direct successor to the Radeon 760M. Its 8 CUs/WGPs (512 unified shaders) run at up to 3 GHz. DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. Its gaming performance is good enough for playing 2024 games in low graphics settings.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it's only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings.

Intel Raptor Lake-U:

Core 5 120U: High-end mobile processor based on the Alder Lake architecture. Offers 2 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores and can process 12 threads simultaneously. The maximum turbo clock of the P cores is 5 GHz.

AMD :

Ryzen AI 7 350: A relatively powerful Krackan Point family processor that was introduced in early 2025. The APU integrates 8 CPU cores (4 Zen 5 cores with up to 5 GHz and 4 Zen 5c cores with up to 3.5 GHz).

Qualcomm Snapdragon X:

SD X1-26-100: An affordable ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The 8-core Snapdragon X chip features 8 Oryon CPU cores running at up to 2.98 GHz, along with the 1.7 TFLOPS X1-45 Adreno iGPU and the 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU. The super-fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller known to us from other Snapdragon X chips, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are all onboard as well.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

79.87%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
