Reviews for the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6506CU

The Vivobook Pro 15 2025 doesn’t break any speed records for a 15-inch laptop, but that’s okay. To get much faster, you’ll have to spend a lot more money — and you won’t necessarily get as spectacular an OLED display. It’s fast enough for the most demanding productivity users, can keep up with moderate creativity workflows, and play modern titles at 1200p with decent graphics. For $1,500, that’s a pretty good deal. My biggest gripe is the plastic construction, but that’s no reason to overlook the Vivobook Pro 15.

The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 (N6506, 2025) starts throwing punches with its strong overall performance, colorful OLED display, and super comfortable keyboard and touchpad. However, it takes one too many hits with its short battery life and low-end GPU for its price. If you are looking for a superior creator laptop, consider one of the best laptops for Photoshop or best laptops for video editing, and if gaming is more of a priority for you, then the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is longer lasting and more powerful for a little more money. It’s even far more portable. Despite that, the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 does offer unique features with its Asus Dial. I’m not a fan, but it may fill someone’s niche.

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.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
