In terms of inexpensive portable PCs, the Asus VivoBook 15 (X512DA) is one of the best laptops you can get. The Vivobook on sale packs a 15.6-inch (1920 x 1080) display, a 2.1-GHz AMD Ryzen 5 3500U quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and Radeon Vega 8 graphics. Performance-wise, the laptop’s Ryzen 5 CPU and 8GB is ample power for day-to day-tasks and content streaming. Although we didn’t review this Ryzen 5 model, as we note in our Asus VivoBook 15 (Intel) review (opens in new tab), we like its premium design, slim bezels and solid array of ports. The VivoBook 15 features three USB-Type A ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, a USB Type-C port, a combo headphone/mic jack and a microSD card slot. At 3.75 pounds and 14.0 x 9.0 x 0.8 inches, the VivioBook 15 is lighter than the Dell XPS 15 (4.5-pounds, 13.6 x 9.1 x 0.7-inches), HP Chromebook 15, (4 pounds and 14.1 x 9.7 x 0.7 inches) and Acer Aspire 5 (3.8 pounds and 14.3 x 9.9 x 0.7 inches). Perfect for everything from term papers to Netflix, the Asus VivoBook 15 is a thin and light that’s suitable for work, school and leisure.
