日本ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K3500) – Top 5 Pros and Cons
ASUS’s Vivobook lineup offers the company’s most valuable notebooks, which offer both thin and light notebooks that bring a decent chunk of performance for a good price. Today we have a well-thought-out device that checks all the boxes, albeit not perfectly. With Tiger Lake H35 CPUs and an optional RTX 3050, you can have a capable laptop for decent gaming, while the OLED display steals the show in terms of quality.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks for the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K3500).
ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K3500): Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K3500)
1. Design and build quality
Contrasting other Vivobooks, this one doesn’t come entirely made out of metal. There is an aluminum lid and a plastic chassis that is surprisingly more durable than the lid. Regardless, no one tries to bend his own laptop on purpose, so as long as you handle it with care, as you should, you will be fine. The design is simplistic, with only two colors, sharp edges, and rounded corners. Branding-wise, there is a Vivobook logo on the back, in the form of an embossed plaque. In terms of dimensions, the laptop is quite portable, weighing only 1.65 kg and having a profile of 19.9 mm.
2. Display quality
The 15.6-inch Full HD OLED panel comes with comfortable viewing angles, a max brightness of 407 nits, and good brightness uniformity across the whole display area, ensuring even color representation. In terms of coverage, the display fully covers both the sRGB and the DCI-P3 gamuts.
However, the OLED panel doesn’t sport the best accuracy. The lowest that we could get it was using a D65 white point in the DCI-P3 color space, along with pairing it with our Design and Gaming profile.

Genom att köpa LaptopMedias produkter stödjer du inte bara effektiva och hälsovänliga profiler utan även utvecklingen av våra laboratorier, där vi testar enheter för att kunna göra så objektiva recensioner som möjligt.
Kontorsarbete
Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar den mesta tiden med att titta på textstycken, tabeller eller bara surfa. Den här profilen syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och klarhet genom att behålla en platt gammakurva (2,20), ursprunglig färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.
Design och spel
Den här profilen riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, även för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpaneler till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminerar skadlig pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) och minskar negativt blått ljus som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskas kraftigt.

3. Performance
CPU benchmarks
While the laptop does come with Tiger Lake H35 processors, it does a good job at harnessing the performance and not having its Core i5-11300H be a dud. Here are results from benchmarks showing the performance of the CPU against other competitors.
Resultaten är från Cinebench R23 CPU-testet (ju högre poäng, desto bättre)
Resultaten är från vårt Photoshop-jämförelsetest (ju lägre poäng, desto bättre).
GPU benchmarks
The RTX 3050 inside might have a TGP of only 50W, but it can handle its fair share of gaming. What’s more is that it can also speed up your video editing, especially when working in tandem with the onboard integrated graphics, using Quick Sync.
Resultaten är från 3DMark: Time Spy (Graphics) benchmark (ju högre poäng desto bättre)
Resultaten är från 3DMark: Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (högre poäng, desto bättre)
Resultaten är från 3DMark: Wild Life benchmark (ju högre poäng desto bättre)
Resultaten är från Unigine Superposition benchmark (ju högre poäng desto bättre).

2 reasons NOT to buy the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K3500)
1. I/O
There is an issue with the USB ports, as two of them run at only 2.0 speeds. While this is an issue for file transfer, you can just leave these ports for peripherals, like your mouse or a USB headset. The rest of the I/O includes one USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, a Thunderbolt 4 port, a MicroSD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
2. Upgradeability
The upgradeability is close to being non-existent, with no RAM slots, and only a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot.
Here is our teardown video, which shows how to access the single SSD slot.
