ASUS Announces Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED

ASUS today announced Vivobook 14 OLED (X1405), Vivobook 15 OLED (X1505) and Vivobook 16 OLED (X1605), three feature-packed everyday laptops with OLED displays. These new Vivobook models deliver a stunning visual experience, featuring superb world-leading OLED NanoEdge PANTONE Validated displays with up to a 3.2K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Vivobook 14 OLED and 16 OLED have 16:10 aspect-ratio displays, while Vivobook 15 OLED has a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. All displays have TÜV Rheinland low blue-light certification to ensure eye comfort during long viewing sessions.

Feature-packed specifications include a physical webcam shield on the HD 3DNR webcam for instant privacy; a full-size ASUS ErgoSense keyboard; a mega-sized touchpad that gives maximum room for fingers; an optional ASUS NumberPad 2.0 (Vivobook 14 OLED only) for easy data entry; and an optional fingerprint sensor on the touchpad. ASUS Antibacterial Guard protects against harmful bacteria.
The eye-catching slim and lightweight design is accentuated with a metal-look finish in Indie Black or Transparent Silver. The 180° lay-flat hinge allows easy collaboration and sharing, and the comprehensive I/O capabilities include a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI port, and an audio combo jack.

Smooth performance is delivered by the 12th Gen Intel Core processors with 16 GB RAM and up to a 1 TB SSD. Quiet and efficient cooling is provided by the dual-vented cooling system with an IceBlade fan and heat pipe. The long-lasting up to 70 Wh battery gives users more freedom, and there's up to WiFi 6 for ultrafast connectivity. Other helpful design features include the latest ASUS AI noise-canceling audio technology for crystal-clear communications, and there are bundled productivity-enhancing ASUS apps including GlideX, MyASUS and ScreenXpert 3.

Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED feature world-leading up to 3.2K OLED HDR three-sided NanoEdge displays, which are super-bright and have a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for ultra-vivid colors. They are also PANTONE Validated for professional-grade color accuracy and TÜV Rheinland-certified for low blue-light emissions. With up to a 120 Hz refresh rate and a 0.2 ms response time, these displays are ideal for everyday productivity, casual gaming and entertainment. In addition, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification ensures the deepest possible blacks and a high 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for enhanced detail in dark scenes. Vivobook 14 OLED and 16 OLED have an expansive 16:10 aspect ratio that reduces the need for scrolling, while Vivobook 15 OLED has an immersive 16:9 aspect ratio.

Feature-packed
Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED are packed with an array of class-leading features. The HD webcam includes ASUS 3D Noise-Reduction (3DNR) technology, and there are dedicated function keys to turn the webcam and mic on and off. There's also an optional fingerprint sensor on the touchpad for fast password-free login via Windows Hello.

The full-size ASUS ErgoSense keyboard has a 19.05 mm key pitch, a 0.2 mm key-cap dish, and long 1.4 mm key travel that gives it an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision.

To help reduce the spread of harmful bacteria, frequently-touched surfaces on Vivobook series laptops are treated with ASUS Antibacterial Guard, which is scientifically proven to inhibit the growth of bacteria by more than 99% over a 24-hour period.

Thoughtful design
The eye-catching Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED are never ordinary, with a clean geometric design featuring the new raised Vivobook logo on the lid, a warning-striped Enter key and a choice of two on-trend colors: Transparent Silver or Indie Black. The laptops are slim enough to pop unobtrusively into a backpack, and light enough to never be a burden.

The precision-engineered, lay-flat 180° hinges make it easy to share content with others, or collaborate with a group of people around a table. The webcam has a convenient physical shield that instantly blanks the image in video calls for enhanced privacy and security.

With a full set of I/O ports, it's easier than ever for users to connect their existing peripherals, displays and projectors. In addition to a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI output and a convenient 3.5 mm audio combo jack.

Smooth power
Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED help users effortlessly complete all their tasks faster than ever, whether it's at work, at home, or out and about. The up to 12th Gen Intel Core processors with up to 16 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 memory and 1 TB GB of speedy SSD storage ensure there's always plenty of smooth power in reserve, whatever they need to do.

To keep Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED cool in all situations, the cooling system includes a heat pipe, an IceBlade fan with 87 blades, and dual air vents to efficiently accelerate heat transfer for smooth, stable performance without processor throttling.

The long-lasting up to 70 Wh high-capacity battery keeps the laptops going for longer, while ultrafast connectivity is provided by up to WiFi 6 enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master technology for fast and stable connections.

To provide exceptional remote-working and video-conferencing experiences, Vivobook 14 OLED, 15 OLED and 16 OLED feature ASUS AI noise-canceling technology that employs machine learning in order to isolate unwanted noise from human speech. This technology helps to filter out ambient noise for optimum group conference-call quality.

Vivobook series laptops are bundled with a free three-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, along with a collection of easy-to-use productivity-enhancing ASUS apps, including GlideX for cross-device screen sharing; MyASUS for easy access to updates, apps, customer service and performance optimization; and ScreenXpert 3 for easy multi-display management.

I actually ordered an Acer notebook with OLED display, as Asus has in its wisdom, decided to use modified ANSI keyboard layouts on their European products, that should have ISO keyboards. In all fairness, HP appears to have taken the same bad decision.
It should arrive on Wednesday and it'll be my first OLED display.

Is it so much to ask for some decent, non-gaming, Ryzen 6000 laptops.

Lenovo has what you want, if you have deep enough pockets.

I've been looking tirelessly for a reasonably priced 6900HS-only laptop ever since rembrandt was released. It would be perfect for a thin and light productivity laptop with good battery life that could also run some low-midrange 1080p games during the off hours.

Wich Acer did you order?

I bought an ASUS Vivobook 15 Oled (the M3500MQ, Ryzen 5800H and RTX 3050), but I had to return it because the battery life was not good on Windows, but my main OS is Linux and with Linux it was horrible. And during sleep the laptop just froze under linux, so I switched to a MacBook Air.....

But I still want an Oled screen, so I'm still searching for an alternative to the MacBook with good battery life and preferably 120Hz 1440p or higher.

Was excited until I read only USB-C Gen 1 and Intel chips. Nothing against Intel but I would like to do some light gaming and USB-4 support at this point for productivity. Oh well, next year I suppose *shrug*.

A cheaper 120Hz QHD laptop without discrete GPU would be good option paired with moonlight less heat better battery life more functionality than a gaming laptop.

Got MQ3401 (14" 2880p OLED, 16GB, 5600H, 3050) for 1k Euro directly from asus.com (I live in DE)

Very happy with it.

It has option to increase battery longevity and charge up to 60%.

The wi-fi chip is hit and miss (got one faulty).
WiFi Master is meh.

GPU score is good 20% behind average (in 3D marks). Still good enough for most games.

Surprisingly good sound.


The only feature I really miss is propert USB-C (existing slot can only do data) with option to charge.

The Swift 3 with oled display and Intel 12th gen H CPU.
As in this, but with the i5.
