Asus Vivobook 16 M1605YA

The line of mid-budget 16-inch laptops from Asus represents the branded Vivobook series, which combines universal portable PCs. The family’s models can be recommended for a wide range of tasks, including study, work, business and various multimedia entertainment (with the exception of gaming). The characteristic features of the line of laptops include balanced dimensions (20 mm thick), a durable plastic case that complies with the military standard MIL-STD-810, the presence of a white keyboard backlight, as well as popular connection interfaces, including a Wi-Fi 6E (802.11) wireless communication module ax), capable of operating at frequencies of 6 GHz (and they are relatively lightly loaded).

Asus Vivobook 16 M1605YA laptops are based on the AMD platform and do not provide a discrete graphics card: an integrated Radeon Vega 7 or 8 adapter is used (depending on the modification). The Barcelo R (Zen 3) architecture processor is responsible for performance, and it can be either a 6-core Ryzen 5 or an even more “fast” Ryzen 7 with 8 cores. The engine is helped by a reserve of 16 GB of DDR4 generation RAM, without the possibility of a user upgrade.

And for data storage, a solid-state drive with a capacity of 512 GB to 1 TB is provided. An IPS display with a diagonal of 16 inches and Full HD resolution is responsible for displaying images. The screen has quite standard performance characteristics, including a refresh rate of 60 Hz, but at the same time it should protect the eyes from fatigue, because it is considered safe for vision and is certified by TÜV Rheinland. Among the bonuses, it is worth highlighting the presence of a webcam with a protective shutter and a rechargeable battery with the Power Delivery function and fast charging (up to 60% of the capacity is replenished in 49 minutes).
