Ratings by Category
Portability:4.3

Battery Life:4.0
PerfectRec’s Battery Life rating is based on hours of battery life in typical usage scenarios.
Build Quality:4.0
PerfectRec’s Build Quality Score incorporates case materials, display and keyboard flex, hinge quality, chassis rigidity, and overall reliability.
Our assessment of build quality includes many details that are difficult to quantify.
Our laptop experts use their best judgment to produce the final score.
Keyboard Quality:3.8
The Keyboard Quality score is based on the PerfectRec experts’ assessment of tactile feedback, typing comfort, keyboard reliability and typing noise.
General Use:3.6
The ASUS Vivobook 15 is considered fair for general use because it offers satisfactory processing power and memory for routine tasks, thanks to the Intel i3 CPU and 8GB of RAM. However, its screen quality and battery life are moderate, which may impact the enjoyability and duration of use, though it remains suitable for common activities like web browsing and document editing.
Software Development:3.5
PerfectRec’s Software Development Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for software development.
In addition to a strong emphasis on overall performance, this score also places very high importance on screen quality. Heat management, storage, keyboard and speaker quality are also incorporated, with fan noise rounding out this score.
Content Creation:3.4
PerfectRec’s Content Creation Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for photo editing, and video editing work.
In addition to a strong emphasis on overall performance, this score also places very high importance on screen quality. Heat management, storage, keyboard and speaker quality are also incorporated, with fan noise rounding out this score.
General Use Screen Quality:3.4
The general use screen score is based on the screen technology, contrast ratio, resolution, brightness, color gamut and color accuracy. This score does not take into account specialized display features for specific use cases, such as high refresh rate for gaming.
Engineering & Design:3.1
The ASUS Vivobook 15 has an Intel i3 processor and integrated graphics, which may limit performance for demanding engineering and design tasks, and while its screen offers full HD resolution on an IPS panel, the color coverage is subpar for high-end color work.
Gaming & AI:3.0
The ASUS Vivobook 15 is fair for gaming and 3D because its GPU, which is integrated in the Intel i3 CPU, doesn't perform as well as dedicated gaming GPUs, and also because its screen's refresh rate is standard at 60Hz, which is lower than the higher refresh rates preferred for smoother gaming experiences.

Sascha Mölck, | April 2022
"The Asus VivoBook 15 is a quiet office notebook with a strong screen. However, the VivoBook 15 still has room for improvement. Office and internet applications as well as simple games do not pose any major challenges for the VivoBook - this is ensured by the built-in combination of Ryzen 7 5700U APU and 16 GB of RAM. Heat and noise emissions are acceptable. But, the laptop has weaknesses that should not be present at this level: lack of keyboard lighting, a slow memory card reader, no fast USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 4) with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. Battery runtimes can only be described as average."
