ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED (M1505) review – great OLED display plus long battery life thanks to the efficient AMD CPU

Thanks to technological advancement, nowadays OLED displays can be found even in not-so-expensive devices. Just like the ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED (M1505) – this one doesn’t cost an arm and a leg but the laptop is offered with OLED panel options. The base one is a 1080p model and we decided to buy a machine with this unit since it seems like the smart choice. You don’t have to pay an additional amount of money for it but the pixel response time and the color coverage are on point.

The optional 2880 x 1620p variant is for people (with a bit wider wallets) who want to enjoy a crisper image. Under the bonnet, there is an AMD Zen 3 Barcelo-U Refresh CPU. If we have to be a bit more specific, you can choose between three processor variants. These chips are notorious for their great efficiency and lower dissipated heat during full load. That’s great news because the thermal system shouldn’t be tortured too much (at least on paper).

We already saw that the modest cooling of the ASUS Vivobook 16X OLED (K3604) is having a hard time taming the powerful 28W Intel P-series chip. That’s why a not-so-thirsty AMD chip is a better complement to the Vivobook 15 OLED (M1505) with its single heat pipe system with one fan.

Aside from that, the laptop brings a decent amount of goodies to the table such as a fingerprint reader, a keyboard with a NumPad, a privacy shutter, and an ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus coating that should inhibit 99% of viruses and bacteria on the frequently touched zones. Considering the price tag, the device has some drawbacks. The usual suspects are the limited port selection and the upgradability.
