81% Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 Laptop Review: Ryzen and OLED goodness that doesn't break the bank

OLED for the rest of us. With the new VivoBook K Series range, Asus aims to bring some of the features normally found in premium ZenBook offerings at more accessible prices. The Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 offers the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U APU and a vibrant Samsung OLED HDR panel at a starting price of ₹62,990 (US$846). While this is surely an enticing proposition, some of the qualms that the VivoBook series is known for continue to remain.

Deal | $399 USD HP 15 laptop with latest Ryzen 5 CPU, Windows 11, and FHD display is one of the better budget deals you can find

The 15.6-inch HP is a bargain for performance hunters due to its 6-core Ryzen 5 5500U CPU. Daring users bothered by its measly 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD can try to pry open the bottom of the laptop and install higher capacity modules.

Road warrior with Ryzen power. The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 already received a very good rating in its version with an Intel CPU. The compact business laptop gets even better with the AMD Ryzen 5000 series. The Cezanne U CPUs make the Lenovo ThinkPad faster while reducing temperatures and fan noise.

This time, the i7-11800H comes solo without dGPU. Will it be able to counter the complaint about the below-average development of the processor performance?

Iris Xe but with a catch. The Latitude 9520 convertible replaces the 10th gen Comet Lake-U CPU series on last year's model with newer 11th gen Tiger Lake-U options. Users are getting significantly faster graphics as a result, but performance isn't as steady as we had hoped.
