The majority of gaming laptop manufacturers tend to offer machines with powerful GPUs in a chassis that will always grab the other person’s attention, whether you are at your workplace or at a public coffee spot. However, ASUS goes in the completely opposite direction with its Vivobook Pro 15, a $1,199.99 notebook that is powerful enough to play the latest visually attractive games, all the while rocking a stylish exterior with no hint of gamer DNA.
The portable powerhouse is available on Amazon right now, and though it lacks a taller display, the 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD is vibrant, bright, and supports up to a 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for a variety of games and media consumption. ASUS claims that the Vivobook is built to last against the elements, has a larger trackpad than the competition, a fingerprint scanner for extra security, a 180-degree hinge, and a webcam privacy shutter. There is no Intel processor featured inside the Vivobook Pro 15.
Instead, you get the highly efficient and exceptional Ryzen 9 7940HS 8-core, 16-thread CPU, along with 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD, and of course, the 8GB GDDR6 RTX 4060 GPU that we have mentioned above. Unlike the majority of gaming laptops, this one will not put additional strain on your arm thanks to its 3.97-pound weight, whether it is lugged around in your backpack or kept in your hands.
The 70WHr battery and the power-efficient AMD processor mean that you can afford to forget the charger for several hours and carry around the Vivobook Pro 15 without any worry. About the only thing you will have to worry about is when this deal will be over because less than three weeks are remaining for 2023 to end, and with 2024 starting, Amazon’s holiday deals will likely be over too.
ASUS’ Vivobook Pro 15 checks most of the boxes, and while its RTX 4060 cannot be compared to a desktop graphics processor, it can handle several AAA titles comfortably.
