ASUS VivoBook Pro 14 OLED 2021, 14" 35.56 cm 2.8K OLED 90Hz, AMD Ryzen 7-5800H, 4GB RTX 3050 Graphics, Thin and Light Laptop (16GB/512GB SSD/Windows 11/Office 2021/Blue/1.45 Kg), M3401QC-KM045WS

The media could not be loaded. If you are someone who works around colors or computer graphics a lot, then it would be ideal for you to consider this laptop for the extraordinary display quality! I love Asus in general, and coming from an i5 7th gen, 2GB 940mx Asus R558uq laptop, it has been a worthy upgrade for me!There are quite a few variants of this Laptop with i7, Ryzen 9, 3050ti. I chose this variant as it sits right under my budget and expected performance.Ryzen 7 5800H Processor powered with rtx 3050 can handle most of the things you can imagine doing as a creator i.e Editing 4k Videos, Working with Adobe Creative Suite(comes with 3 months free creative cloud subscription), 3D animation, and rendering. That too is on high quality, beautiful 14 inches screen with a 1Million:1 contrast ratio and amazing color accuracy! So the possibilities of doing new things on this laptop are endless!The laptop weighs only 1.40 kg and it is very easy to carry around, which makes it a perfect choice for office use. No fancy gimmicky RGB lights, very slick and tactical design, and the extended keyboard on the trackpad is pretty cool to use. The keyboard also comes with a backlight, there is a very slick privacy shield on the 720p webcam, a power button with a fingerprint scanner, the quality of the Harman/Kardon speakers is good and the ai-noise canceling microphone is very efficient in online meetings.Fans are silent and sound is barely noticeable even if they are running at full speed. Another plus points are - it comes with activated windows 11, which does not seem to have any bugs and Microsoft office.I played quite a few games on this laptop and most AAA titles like Elden Ring, God of war, Red Dead 2 will work at 1080p high-med settings between 40-60 fps. Streaming AAA titles at high settings will not be possible but games that are less CPU and GPU intensive can be streamed easily on 1080p highest settings.Edit : After 4 and half months of use.Quality of the 720p webcam is poor in low light. To workaround you can manually adjust exposure/color settings in different software like obs, etc. Or use a lamp nearby etc.About Battery - I had not mentioned about the battery in the first review but there are no complaints. I get approximate 5-6hrs while browsing, listening music on battery saver mode. If I'm watching a movie or working on a software I get between 4-4.5 hrs. and these are rough estimates, I didn't do a proper test.It really depends on you use it, for best juice - use it on low brightness and battery saver mode, change display resolution to 1080p and close unnecessary apps.Performance is smooth, never a single lag or freeze. Games run smooth and screen quality is god like. Your friends with 1.5lacs MacBook with a i5 processor will look stupid after they see this.What I don't like : speaker volume, webcam, arrow keys are short so, I find it difficult to navigate sometime and press the wrong key.

Trackpad issues, is loose, makes rattling sound. I guess will have to live with it. Risky to buy laptops online, Amazon packing is getting worse day by day, earlier they used to send expensive products in bubble wrap.Amazon have easy replacement though, during the return window.Display is the best feature of this laptop. Oled Plus rtx 3050 low tgp, but still better than no graphic card.Casual gaming too on medium/low settings.This laptop is for casual/ocassional gamers, content creators, audio mixing (not tested) and entertainment purpose.14 inch, easy portable, decent looks, build wise average.Speakers are fine with dts (enhances sound), not that good, sometimes rumble in high volume and is common in laptops except for macbook.You can buy this laptop for that amazing display. Nothing unique, Asus anyway launches so many laptops.But as per the current market, the value for money is good, oled with rtx 3050 and ryzen 7.

If you can get this laptop for 80k or less, it's a great deal.Writing this full review after days of use.1. The main highlight and strength of this laptop is the display. The display is simply amazing and gets plenty bright indoors even when the laptop is not plugged in. The 90hz refresh rate helps a lot to smooth out the animations. The color accuracy is also superb.2. The battery life is decent at best. 6-7 hours of normal use ( which includes youtube videos, 3 hrs of zoom meeting, web surfing, watching movies) and upto 8 hrs if used with 60hz.3. The performance is great but not certainly the best. Blender will run without any problem. Also will compile pretty long codes quickly. The rtx 3050 is a low wattage one. It's still better than no gpu and will run all modern games at 1080p med settings easily. If you are interested in older titles than this can handle it at native resolution with highest settings. The ryzen 7 5800h scores 11k points in cinebench r23 which is pretty good considering the size and weight.4. The trackpad is a champ. Its big and smooth. All gestures work flawlessly. Other reviews had trackpad rattling issues but not me. So if you have it probably return and replace it. Keyboard is tactile enough.5. The fan noise is manageable. When using it lightly ie. few youtube videos, web surfing or even zoom, the fans don't start tho it gets pretty high pitched when using blender but not to a point that it would be a issue.6. The SSD write and read speeds are around 1.8 gb/s which is pcie 2 standard. If you want more fast operation, Swap the ssd. The boot time is around 16 sec and it wakes in around 3 secs from sleep.All in all I do recommend this laptop. If you are a real power user, maybe look for the m1 pro mac book.
