ASUS VivoBook 15 in-depth review

Today we have a hot-out-of-the-oven multimedia laptop that may take over the world with its budget price and somewhat capable internals. It is a part of the VivoBook lineup and is built on a chassis, very similar to that of the S15 S530.The laptop we're talking about today is the VivoBook 15 F515, and it comes with a choice of some Ice Lake processors (and one Gemini Lake CPU), as well as the MX130 and MX330 when it comes to the graphics power.

Pros

Decent upgradeability
GeForce MX250 and an IPS display at a great price
Comfortable viewing angles and good contrast ratio (AUO B156HAN02.1)

Weird and inefficient cooling solution
Mediocre input devices
Very small battery (although light loads will drain the battery surprisingly slowly)
