The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop. While it isn’t the premium laptop that some may be seeking, it matches a majority of their traits. Its webcam leaves much to be desired, and its keyboard and touchpad are your standard fare. However, these are qualities that even laptops over $1,000 struggle with, and its highlights outweigh its more disappointing qualities. Plus, it’s more understandable on a laptop that has a starting price of $899. If you are looking for more power, those interested can bump up the specs to have even better performance. Sure, the Intel Core i7 model brings the price over $1,000, but it’s still better than a lot of its competition. For more of the best laptops under $1,000 and best 15-inch laptops, look no further.

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.
