Popular Mechanics (South Africa)
VIVOBOOK 15 OLED
You probably think that this 15” laptop looks good – with its minimalist design, 6.1 mm bezel and 85 per cent screen-tobody ratio, it’s definitely got that going for it. But there’s a whole lot more to this device, one of the most affordable OLED display notebooks available in South Africa.
One of the standout features, especially at this price point, is the OLED display. OLED, or organic light-emitting diode, works without a backlight, because it itself emits visible light. Practically, this means screens that are thinner, and a crisp display with deeper blacks, as well as higher contrast ratios regardless of ambient light conditions. It has a 178° viewing angle, a wide-view panel that delivers excellent colour variation, especially if others are viewing your screen.
It boasts up to a quad-core 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce MX350 graphics card. These will handle multiple apps simultaneously, as well as gaming while on the go. Storage options on the i7 are up to 1 TB. A fingerprint sensor is optional, while connectivity is fast (WiFi 6, and
Bluetooth 5.0).
For a notebook that’s more on the budget-friendly side of the spectrum, the VivoBook 15 certainly offers a lot of bang for your buck.
