Asus Vivobook 16 X1605VA

The Asus family of affordable laptops is designed for users who need a basic yet reliable tool for work, study, and daily tasks. They are part of the Asus Vivobook 2023 lineup, belonging to the entry-level price segment, and unlike most counterparts, they are equipped not with OLED screens but more affordable IPS panels. The lineup showcases a flexible approach to configuring hardware configurations, allowing users to select the optimal solution for their individual needs.

The hardware platform is based on Intel processors of the Raptor Lake generation in a wide range — from energy-efficient Core i3 to more powerful Core i5 and Core i7. This approach ensures fundamental flexibility when choosing the optimal computing configuration. Entry-level processors are suitable for basic office tasks, mid-range modifications ensure comfortable multitasking, while Core i7 options allow for solving more complex computational tasks.

RAM of either 8 or 16 GB provides a reliable foundation for stable operation of the operating system and "heavy" software. A 16-inch IPS display with a classic Full HD resolution (1920×1080) and a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz is used as the screen. The color gamut of 45% NTSC is technically limited but entirely sufficient for everyday tasks such as working with documents, watching videos, and basic graphic processing. The presence of a TÜV Rheinland certificate should interest users who are concerned about their eyesight. The case is made of reinforced plastic that meets the MIL-STD-810 military-industrial standard and is resistant to mechanical stress.
