日本ASUS Vivobook 16X OLED (K3604) review – the OLED display is stunning but P-series CPU is a serious challenge for the cooling
If you’re on the hunt for a new big-screen OLED laptop that isn’t too expensive, your options are limited. The ASUS Vivobook 16X OLED (K3604) is one of the possible solutions but there is a catch. The fancy 4K 16:10 display is optional so as always, have a look at the specs before buying the device. The default screen is an IPS panel with 1200p resolution.
Since the base is big enough, the keyboard has a NumPad which can be important for some users who are making tons of calculations on a daily basis. The Web camera has a privacy shutter which is nice to see in a laptop with such a thin lid. You can also opt for a fingerprint reader for faster and safer one-touch logins.
The notebook is offered with a choice of three Raptor Lake U CPUs and two more powerful P-series chips. You can see part of the cooling through the big vent on the bottom side – it has just one fan. This means that the thermal system can be pushed to its limits if you pick a device with a 28W processor (like we did). The I/O isn’t full of ports but at least there is one Type-C port with Power Delivery function. The ASUS Antimicrobial Guard is here and this can be a deal-breaker for some of you who want such a feature. For connectivity, you can rely on Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 (option). For this review, we bought a max-out configuration to see how good the OLED display is and to torture the cooling with the Core i7-1360P.
