The Vivobook 15 is a decent 15-inch budget laptop that gets the job done, ... And the Asus Vivobook 15, in its i5 CPU/16GB RAM guise, is just that. It’s fine. It works.

Asus's VivoBook 15 also claws back some cred on the performance side. There are numerous specs for both of these laptop families, but let's focus on the one you can buy all-in for around £500.

The Asus VivoBook 15’s mix of performance and ports adds up to a compelling budget-laptop offering versus like-priced alternatives, though a wishy-washy screen keeps it from top marks.

The Asus Vivobook X505 comes with a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. It offers a screen ratio of 16:9 and makes for a decent viewing experience.
