Asus Vivobook Pro 16X pre-production unit review: Performance, endurance and mighty OLED display

With a very good OLED display, Harman Kardon sound, and a lot of computing power, the Asus Vivobook Pro 16x should primarily appeal to media designers and content creators. A Microsoft Surface Dial integrated into the touchpad underlines this aspect. The laptop, which we were allowed to test as a pre-production device, shows a well-thought-out design and high performance readiness. The dark aluminum case looks both stable and elegant.
At the heart of the multimedia laptop is the fast AMD Ryzen R9-5900HX together with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. Thus, the laptop has enough graphics performance for many games and video editing programs.
The competition for the Asus Vivobook Pro comes from all areas of our database, because the laptop is very powerful for a multimedia notebook. Thus, the Vivobook Pro can also keep up with the entry-level class of current gaming laptops and some workstations.
As a further preview of the latest Asus devices, the Review of the Asus Zenbook 14X is available.

Case - anodized aluminum and little plastic
A lot of dark gray to black anodized aluminum with a few accents of black plastic determine the exterior of the Asus Vivobook. Although the laptop is not really thin, the device looks less bulky thanks to a Swiss edge. Small design elements, such as embossments on the display hinge, also liven things up.
The matte aluminum with its smooth surface is always pleasantly cool to the touch. Except for the somewhat flexible display, the laptop looks very stable and hardly shows any manufacturing problems. The somewhat uneven gaps on the underside are not untypical for a pre-production device.
The display can be opened up to an angle of 160° with one hand. A keyboard with gray and red color accents as well as the large touchpad can be seen underneath.

The Asus Vivobook is relatively slim for a 16-inch laptop of the given performance class. Weight and thickness are in the same range as the competition.
Equipment - without Thunderbolt, the Vivobook offers little connectivity
The notebook does not offer many connectivity options with its four USB ports (one of them USB Type-C). PowerDelivery and Thunderbolt 4 are not available here. The HDMI port is the only option for connecting an external display via cable.
SDCardreader
The microSD card reader is quite slow with a transfer rate of 38 MB/s. The AV PRO microSD with 128 GB used in the test usually delivers much faster data transfer rates.

Communication
An Intel AX200 module is responsible for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 in the Asus Vivobook. However, the otherwise very fast WLAN module is below its potential in the test device's transmission speeds. Positioning the antenna is often particularly difficult in laptops with a metal casing.

Input devices - The Asus Dial delivers features for creatives
Keyboard
The full keyboard of the Asus Vivobook has a normal size with its 16 mm keys. It is easy to work with a pleasantly high typing resistance and a noticeable haptic feedback. The keyboard is quiet and easy to use even in the dark thanks to the backlight. Function keys for turning the microphone and camera on and off as well as for the screenshot menu and the MyAsus app round out the keyboard's functionality.
Touchpad
The 13 × 8.5 cm (5.1 x 3.4 in) ClickPad convinces with its responsiveness and smooth surface. An additional control element can be accessed with a swipe from the upper right corner. The Asus Dial allows controlling screen brightness, volume and other settings as well as launching applications. The Asus Dial can also be used in some Adobe programs. Alternatively, the Asus Dial can also be configured like the Microsoft Surface Dial.
Display - WQUXGA and OLED at 60 Hz result in a very good picture
With 400 cd/m², the OLED display in Asus' Vivobook delivers a very bright and colorful picture with 3840 × 2400 pixels in a 16:10 format. Calculated to the 16.1-inch size, this results in a pixel density of 281 ppi. Individual pixels are thus difficult to recognize. The maximum frame rate of 60 FPS might be too low for the intended use as a laptop for media designers. There are no halos or poorly illuminated areas on the OLED screen. The measurements also reveal a very good illumination.

* ... smaller is better
The infinite contrast ratio of OLED displays never fails to impress. At the same time, Adobe, P3 and sRGB color spaces are covered by almost 100%. With an average color deviation of only ΔΕ1.74 ex-factory, the display is very well calibrated. The color profile we created can only improve the representation of the grayscale, but the color reproduction deteriorates slightly in the process.

This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.8 ms). |
The flickering found in the test is due to the display technology used. In OLED displays, the image is typically updated line by line. In the process, a narrow area of the image is briefly turned off. Depending on the brightness setting, more or wider stripes also go dark. However, flickering is somewhat easier on the eyes than PWM-controlled backlighting because the entire display does not go dark in the process.
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 60 Hz | ≤ 80 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 80 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19454 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Typical for OLED displays, the screen of the Asus Vivobook is easy to read from all directions. However, slight rainbow effects occur at acute viewing angles. The glossy display surface makes outdoor use with the notebook difficult despite the high display brightness. Reflections and refractions make reading the display impossible at the wrong viewing angle.
Software - MyAsus keeps asking for registration
Two programs are preinstalled on the Asus Vivobook, which can be used to set settings for various hardware components. In the ProArt Creator Hub, you can primarily adjust the color reproduction, the function of the Asus Dial and the performance control.
The MyAsus app, which can also be accessed via one of the function keys, offers a lot of settings. There, settings for the screen, the speakers, battery, the power control and much more can be set. However, the app always requires a log-in with an Asus account or a link via Facebook or Google. Therefore, we did not use the MyAsus app in the rest of the test.
Performance - The Ryzen R9 on 54 watts is convincing
With AMD Ryzen R9-5900HX, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, the motherboard of our test device is well equipped. A 1 TB NVMe SSD is available as main storage. Other configurations with Ryzen R5 and R7 as well as with 8 and 16 GB of working memory are also known, but not yet confirmed.
Test conditions
The tested Asus Vivobook Pro is a pre-production model. Not all drivers are fully developed yet. During the test period, individual drivers were updated again and again. Asus only provided a functioning performance control for our test device shortly before the end of the test period via an update of the ProArt Creator Hub. The benchmarks were thus all repeated with the Full Speed Mode
setting.
Thus, 4 different options are available for the performance control. In the selected mode, the fans permanently rotate at full speed. This setting is particularly suitable for stable performance during longer load phases.
Processor
As one of the most powerful mobile processors currently available, the AMD Ryzen R9-5900HX is especially used in larger laptops. The SoC also features an AMD Radeon on-board graphics chip. Thanks to the sufficiently dimensioned cooling, the eight-core processor can permanently operate with a bit more than 54 watts of power (PL1). Thus, the CineBench loop shows very constant high performances. During short-term loads, the processor clock increases up to 4.3 GHz at 65 watts. The strong R9 clearly passes the rivals in most multi-core processor benchmarks. Only the Huawei MateBook 16 AMD can keep up well despite the weaker AMD Ryzen R7.
However, Intel's Core processors are still clearly ahead of AMD's top cores in the single-core benchmarks.

System performance
The Vivobook Pro is a very fast laptop. In the PCMark 10 benchmark, the computer delivers very high scores. As the second in the comparison field with overall very powerful contenders, Asus' laptop can deliver more than satisfactory results. Our pre-production unit initially had problems with the performance management and some drivers, which made the system seem sluggish, but Asus has meanwhile made considerable improvements with some updates. The laptop runs smoothly and largely without dropouts on the latest version.

DPC latencies
In the test with LatencyMon, there were brief problems with the interaction of different drivers. Even with the latest updates from Asus, not all problems have been solved yet. Very high short-term fluctuations in the observed latencies are the result.
Such a jerk occurred during the playback of the 4k60 YouTube test video. The result was 35 skipped frames in one piece. A picture that stands still for a bit more than half a second is clearly noticeable.

Mass storage
Even though the measurement results of AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark 6.0 are a bit apart, SK Hynix's M.2 NVMe SSD is very fast when transferring larger files. The rest of the scores in access times and transfer of smaller files are in the mediocre of the laptops in the comparison. With one TB of storage, there is enough space for smaller video projects.

Graphics card
The Asus Vivobook Pro is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti as the dGPU. The 3050 Ti is powerful enough to play current games at high detail levels in Full HD resolution. However, the second smallest graphics card from Nvidia's RTX 3000 series reaches its limits at higher resolutions. Nvidia allows configuring the maximum power consumption between 35 and 80 watts for the 3050 Ti. In the Asus Vivobook Pro, the graphics card operates with a maximum of 50 watts.
To improve energy efficiency, a smaller AMD Radeon graphics supports on the R9 APU. It reliably processes smaller tasks. Only when higher demands are placed on the graphics in games or applications does the Nvidia graphics chip seamlessly switch on.
The results of the benchmarks with 3DMark and 3DMark11 show the maximum performance chosen by Asus very well. The graphics card in the Asus computer operates slightly faster than the 3050 Ti in the Dell XPS 15 but is below the average of the 3050's in our Benchmark table.

Gaming performance
The Asus Vivobook Pro shows the performance readiness of an entry-level gaming laptop in the gaming benchmarks. Games in Full HD are no obstacle for the notebook even with current titles and high detail levels. However, as soon as you want to use the full resolution of the OLED panel, the multimedia notebook reaches its limits in current titles.
