Asus Vivobook 15 X1504VA [X1504VA-BQ4297W]

Positive Image

The Asus Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ4297W laptop draws attention with its stylish image design and decent level of performance, while still being quite an affordable solution by modern standards. The model is designed for a wide range of home, office, educational, and commercial tasks, supported by the combination of a 10-core Core i7 150U processor and 24 GB of RAM. The chassis looks neat and modern, and is also distinguished by increased durability, making it better suited for transportation and operation in less than comfortable conditions. Its reliability is confirmed by compliance with the military standard MIL-STD-810. An additional advantage is the ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus coating, which helps reduce the spread of microbes, bacteria, and viruses, including COVID-19. This is especially useful if the laptop is used by several people at home, in the office, or in a classroom.

Ergonomics and Functionality

The additional features of the laptop remain generally standard: the manufacturer focuses on practical solutions without significantly increasing the cost of the device. However, the model has several pleasant features. One of them is the ErgoSense keyboard, designed for comfortable prolonged typing without quick fatigue. The key travel is 1.4 mm, requiring a small effort of about 34 grams to actuate. The keycaps have a well-thought-out shape with a slight central indentation, reducing the likelihood of accidental presses and finger slippage. The display output is handled by a familiar IPS display, and the lid opens to 180°, which is convenient for collaborative work or content viewing. A downside could be the brightness of 250 nits: this level is sufficient for indoor settings, but in strong external lighting, the screen may appear dim.
