About this deal

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to open the lid with a single hand. On the bright side, the bezels surrounding the glossy display are pretty thin, with the top one traditionally housing an HD Web camera. Without a doubt, the display is this laptop’s highlight. ASUS states that their unit has up to 70% less blue light emissions. As we said at the beginning of this review, equipping affordable laptops with OLED panels was long overdue, and we are happy that ASUS is making the effort to fix this mistake of the entire industry. See: https://www.essilorpro.com/content/dam/essilor-redesign/product-resources/crizal/Blue-Light-Roundtable_White-Paper.pdf The Intel Core i5 1135G7 CPU is relatively easy to cool with a max temp of 92°C on our benchmarks which is good enough for an entry-level laptop. Idle temps are not within our preferred range considering our ambient temperature of 24°C. The ASUS VivoBook with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 has a great score in Geekbench 5. Its single-thread performance is outstanding, among the best for x86 CPUs of its generation. Its multi-thread performance is good, but there are many CPUs on the market with more cores and threads that perform better. As for its GPU compute performance, the NVIDIA GeForce MX350 is inadequate.

Some models include Office Home and Student 2019 or 2021. Unfortunately, ASUS VivoBook 15 OLED K513’s panel uses low-frequency PWM for brightness adjustment up until 94 nits. Afterwards, we detected small pulsations, which makes the display relatively safe in this aspect (after 95 nits). Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users. Someone had to start. The list of reasons is long, but the OLED display technology is superior to the IPS one. And We feel that the market was waiting for too long for manufacturers to start adopting it. ASUS was bold enough to put such panels inside everyday budget-conscious notebooks. This is why we have the appropriately-named VivoBook 15 OLED K513.SuperPI is a single-threaded benchmark application that lets the CPU calculate Pi(π) to the nth digit. In this benchmark, we selected the Pi calculation to 32M, the highest available for the app. wPrime 1024M

Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day.
