Asus Vivobook 15 X1504MA 15.6" FHD Core 5 320 8GB 512GB SSD Laptop

The 15.6-inch IPS panel delivers a sharp 1920 x 1080 resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio, giving you plenty of room for documents, spreadsheets and video. IPS technology keeps colours consistent when the screen is viewed from an angle, while the anti-glare surface cuts down on reflections from windows and overhead lights. With 250 cd/m² brightness and a 60 Hz refresh rate, it suits indoor work, browsing and streaming.

At the heart of this Vivobook sits an Intel Core 5 320 processor with six cores and a boost frequency of up to 4.6 GHz. That gives it enough headroom for office applications, video calls, web browsing with many tabs open and light photo editing. Integrated Intel Graphics handles video playback and everyday visual tasks, making this a sensible choice for productivity rather than demanding 3D work.

The 8 GB of DDR5 memory keeps everyday applications responsive, while the 512 GB solid-state drive means fast boot times, quick file access and enough room for your documents, photos and installed programs. Compared with a traditional hard drive, an SSD also runs silently and copes better with being carried around, which matters for a laptop that moves between home, office and lectures.

The port selection covers both new and older accessories: two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports with speeds up to 5 Gbps, plus a USB 2.0 Type-A port. One Type-C port supports power delivery, and an HDMI port lets you connect an external monitor or TV. Wireless connections are handled by Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3, with a 3.5 mm combo audio jack for headsets.

A 42 Wh built-in battery powers the laptop away from the mains, and it is charged via a compact 48 W USB-C adapter (20 V, 2.4 A) that works with 100–240 V universal input. Charging over USB-C makes the adapter easy to pack, and it accepts power sockets in many countries without extra converters when you use a simple plug adapter.

The backlit keyboard with a US international layout makes typing easier in dim rooms or on evening trains. For video meetings and online classes, a 720p HD camera is built in, complete with a physical privacy shutter so you can cover the lens when it is not in use. The laptop weighs 1.70 kg and comes in a Quiet Blue finish.

This laptop is well suited to students, home users and office workers who need a dependable 15.6-inch machine for documents, browsing, streaming and video calls. Windows 11 Home comes preinstalled, so it is ready to use out of the box. Those who regularly edit large video projects or play demanding games may want a model with dedicated graphics.
