At this point in time, this laptop is still at RM2,999. I think this laptop is fantastic. Great performance, decent battery life, good keyboard and trackpad, and a massive screen – just that the screen quality itself is kinda subpar. If you’re okay with the screen, then I think this is an okay laptop. However, I’d like to see a price drop.

At RM2,999 – the ASUS Vivobook 16X certainly does not ask a lot of money for good amounts of CPU performance, but some corners are cut so you should not ask too much out of it. I’d say the best use case would fall under office work – those who do mostly typing and data entry that needs a bigger screen will benefit a lot from this machine with a relatively low price point. If you need a better content watching experience though, go for the Vivobook 15X OLED instead.

The ASUS VIvobook 16X M1603 is another addition to their workhorse Vivobook range that combines an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H CPU with a large 16-inch LCD display at a modest price point. If you’re looking for a budget laptop for light computing and don’t mind the cheaper display, this modest workhorse is worth a look.

The Asus Vivobook 16X is a big, cheap laptop — for better and for worse. It’s a little slow for anything beyond casual productivity and the plastic shell can feel a little cheap to the touch. But all of this makes it a fantastic home laptop for the whole family.

When you want a laptop that has the performance of a big gaming machine, you need to make sacrifices. Especially if you want it to be affordable. Well, this is exactly the case with the Vivobook 16X (M1603). Its IPS panel has a WUXGA resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, but on the other hand, the color coverage is only 50% of the sRGB color gamut. Although the laptop is made out of plastic, it has one strong feature when it comes to the body – its coating. ASUS has covered all body panels with an antimicrobial layer, which attracts all microbes and then kills them off. Quite sadistic, but also beneficial. In addition to that, the port selection is robbed of an SD card reader, while the USB Type-C port can only be used for data transfers. Also, some of the memory (8GB to be precise) has been soldered to the motherboard. Further expansions are possible via the single SODIMM slot. In terms of battery, you get between 8 and 10 hours on a single charge, depending on your activities – watching videos, or browsing the Web. Using more demanding software, however, will drain it significantly more quickly, due to the power-hungry processor. Speaking of which, it is really powerful. Even though it is a couple of generations old, one can still reap the benefits of AMD’s bold design back in the day. So, if you are looking for a machine that is capable of delivering all you need, at a low price, and still allows you to play light games – get the Vivobook 16X (M1603). Don’t miss to check out the OLED version of this device.

Hey, 16-inch laptops are now affordable. And they don’t suck! The Vivobook 16 (X1605) is a pretty decent machine with only a few minor flaws that can’t be ignored, but at the same time won’t be dealbreakers for the majority of you. This includes the lack of an SD card reader and the fact that the only USB Type-C port can only be used for data transfer. On the bright side, the situation on the inside looks a bit better with one SODIMM slot for memory expansion and one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for Gen 3 or Gen 4 SSDs. The battery life is great if you’re browsing the Web – 10 hours and 30 minutes, but it is not fantastic if you are watching videos – 5 hours and 30 minutes. Unfortunately, we are not aware what is the reason for the huge difference. Not in last place, its Antibacterial Guard limits the growth and build-up of bacteria on the plastic surface of the notebook. This feature is tested against the ISO 22196 standard, according to ASUS. Now, if you are willing to get a laptop at this price point, you might need to settle for plastic as a building material.

Getting a roomy, high-resolution OLED display at this price feels like a steal, but you'll need to make a number of tradeoffs to get away with it. The flimsy plastic enclosure is the biggest concession you're forced to make, and content creators looking for an affordable, big-screen OLED laptop will need to limp by with integrated graphics and only 512GB of storage. And the tinny speakers limit its appeal as an entertainment laptop. We recommend stepping up to the Pro version if possible. It's roughly $350 more, and you get the same great display with better build quality, faster processing and a discrete GPU for beginner content creation. For $300 more, the Acer Swift Edge offers a 16-inch, 16:10 OLED display inside a slim yet rigid magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis. It also regularly goes on sale at Costco for less than $1,000. Or if you don't mind a smaller display, consider the HP Pavilion Plus 14, which comes in many configurations at more affordable prices.

What all of this adds up to is that the Asus Vivobook 16X is a seriously capable general-purpose laptop, that can handle everything from day-to-day PC drudgery to serious gaming via watching Netflix or listening to Spotify. The robust, stay-clean design and excellent battery life are cherries on an already rather scrumptious cake. To find fault with the 16X, I’m reduced to mentioning the lack of a second SSD slot, and small issues with thermal throttling.

However, with powerful performance, gaming-level graphics and a 120Hz display, battery life isn’t the best. During testing, I was getting between two and six hours of usage on a single charge, depending on how many demanding tasks I was doing. At its absolute limit, when converting a large video file, it lasted just over an hour. An extreme power-saving mode can stretch battery life to a full working day, but it becomes difficult to work when performance is much more limited. Keep the charger handy at all times.

The Asus Vivobook 16 offers an expansive 16in laptop experience for well south of four figures, which is a welcome proposition. However, that display isn’t especially vibrant or accurate, which robs the laptop of some of its multimedia potential. What’s more, a puny battery, just the one USB-C port, and a rather cheap-feeling finish saps a fair amount of that initial full-sized laptop pizazz. Heavy discounting means that anyone specifically in the market for the largest laptop screen possible at the lowest price possible will definitely want to include the Vivobook 16 in their calculations. For the vast majority of people, however, you can get a better-balanced laptop package elsewhere.

At £700, the 16-inch Asus Vivobook is no slouch in the most average situations a laptop can find itself in. It’s light enough to carry around, with a power brick to match. It won’t buckle under the virtual weight of too much admin work. This laptop does start at £600 for the Intel Core i5 version, and it might be a worthy compromise for those looking for straightforward productivity use. With lacklustre speakers and a hinge that stops short of helping it become a good entertainment companion, however, there are just a few too many compromises here to truly recommend it at this price point. The 16GB RAM is this model’s biggest strength in terms of raw power but competing devices are hard to ignore with the HP Pavilion SE 14 providing a more modern processor for less money as well as a better speaker system.

The biggest advantage of the ASUS Vivobook 16 (M1605) is the great battery life. We have a machine with a Zen 3 Refresh CPU that isn’t thirsty at all. When you add the 1200p display in the mix, this results in more than 16 hours of Web browsing on a single charge. Not bad for a 42Wh battery! Of course, if you get a laptop with a Zen 4 processor and a 3.2K OLED display, perhaps the battery life could be shorter. This machine is offered with a plethora of processor options. This allows you to pick the right chip for your needs. For casual office or home usage, even the 6-core Ryzen 5 5625U should be fine, if you aren’t too pretentious. It’s not a bad idea to choose a machine with dual-channel memory that will boost the overall performance. On the other side, this notebook can be transformed into a productivity beast with an 8-core Zen 4 CPU like the Ryzen 9 7940HS.

This particular configuration of the ASUS Vivobook 16 (M1605Y) is RM2,999, which sits on the cheaper side on the budget workhouse laptops spectrum. (There’s also the cheaper Ryzen 5 7530U version.) While you’re not getting a colorful display or boomy speakers to go with it, the laptop would be a very solid choice for those looking for something that can do work, and perhaps even heavier workloads, such as coding. For the price, you’ll be getting a lot of good ol’ performance and practicality out of it.

For what you pay for, the ASUS Vivobook 16 M1605 offers a large 16-inch LCD display that offers about 10% more viewing space than a conventional 15-inch laptop and enough performance for general purpose computing at a price point that’s accessible for students and mobile workers with modest needs though it is ill suited for content creation. If you can live with the underwhelming battery life and need something as a light workhorse, this makes for a great budget laptop.

Overall, for the price of just RM3k, this is a decent laptop. It’s just that the screen is a bit disappointing. However, if you look back at ASUS’s other older laptops – like the ASUS Vivobook M1503, then you’ll get a much better OLED screen at around the same price, and you get a much more powerful CPU too – but less RAM and a slightly smaller screen.

The ASUS Vivobook 16X OLED (K3604) has a lot of potential to be a true blockbuster in its class but the device isn’t perfect. Let’s start with the positives – the 16:10 4K (3840 x 2400p) OLED display (Samsung AMOLED ATNA60YV02-0 (SDC415D) is just great. It boasts 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage alongside good out-of-the-box color accuracy. The HDR panel amazes with quick pixel response times and infinite contrast ratio. The display flicker here isn’t an issue since there is a ”Flicker-Free Dimming” function in the MyASUS software. The overall performance of the laptop is good. The machine feels snappy – our laptop is configured with the Core i7-1360P which is the top CPU option for the series. This chip is a serious challenge for the basic-looking cooling solution. Interestingly, the CPU can maintain decently high frequencies in prolonged periods of 100% stress while the clocks in short loads are so-so.

While our specific Asus Vivobook 16X review unit doesn’t make the best impression for the company’s line of mid-ranged ultrabooks, that shouldn’t necessarily sway you from purchasing one. Newer variants of the Asus Vivobook 16X feature far more competent graphics cards such as the RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 for a similar price as this version, not to mention vastly faster processors such as 13th Gen i5 CPUs or AMD equivalents. The core design is solid and the display is far from the worst that I’ve ever seen. Not to mention, the keyboard is very comfortable and satisfying to use for many hours at a time – so there’s a host of redeeming qualities for sure.

The ASUS Vivobook 16 is a well-rounded machine that excels at everyday productivity, media consumption, and light creative work. Its strong processor, decent build quality, and comfortable keyboard make it a solid choice for students and professionals who need a reliable workhorse. However, its dim display, lack of a dedicated GPU, and middling battery life hold it back from being a complete package. If you need a laptop for work, web browsing, or maybe even a little casual gaming, the Vivobook 16 offers good value for money. But if you’re a content creator or a gamer looking for more graphical power, you might want to consider alternatives with dedicated GPUs.

Wrapping up our Asus Vivobook 16 review this Snapdragon X unit is a future-proof proposition. This a thin, light, and durable laptop for a 16-inch machine, and it has decent performance on offer. But I think an example is the best way I can explain this laptop to the right kind of buyer. Let’s say you’re a parent who wants to buy your kid a laptop that can run all the necessary software and have just enough power to let them explore AI, then this is a good choice. If you’re a working professional who needs something with a big screen and a numpad, good choice for you too. However, if you’re someone who wants a laptop that can edit photos & videos, and allow you to play AAA games on it. Or if you’re willing to carry a heavy machine and always have a power socket around, you could sacrifice the Vivobook’s sensibility to go with a gaming laptop.
