ASUS VivoBook Pro Review

83

The ASUS VivoBook Pro laptop is a solid option with decent battery life and lightweight portability. The 1050 graphics card makes gaming possible, but it's recommended to upgrade to an SSD for faster performance.

The ASUS VivoBook Pro is a great portable option for general use and gaming.

Pros
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Decent battery life
  • Good sound quality
  • Sleek silver brushed metallic look
Cons
  • No SSD, slow performance with 5400 rpm hard drive
  • Color reproduction not ideal for content or design work
  • Gaming experience could be better with 1060 or 1050 Ti graphics card

The sleek silver brushed metallic look gives the laptop a premium feel.

The ASUS VivoBook Pro laptop has a sleek silver brushed metallic look and is fairly lightweight and portable at 2.5 kilos. The 15.6 inch 60 Hertz TN panel provides decent color reproduction and is suitable for day-to-day use and occasional gaming, but may not be ideal for content or design work. The build quality of the laptop is fairly solid, and the keyboard is illuminated with adjustable white backlighting. The laptop provides good connectivity options with USB 3.0 and 3.1 Gen2, HDMI port, SD card reader, headphone and mic jack, and more. The laptop delivers decent sound quality and clear visuals through its speakers at various volumes. However, it is recommended to upgrade to an SSD for faster performance and to avoid slow loading times and data transfer rates. With the Nvidia 1050 graphics card, the laptop is capable of gaming, but for a better experience, a 1060 or 1050 Ti is recommended for more demanding games. Overall, the ASUS VivoBook Pro is a great portable option for general use and gaming, but an upgrade to SSD is strongly advised for better performance.

An upgrade to SSD is strongly advised for better performance.
