Today we're checking out the ASUS VivoBook 16X. This Windows 11 laptop offers a really strong all-round value package. From the 16” display, 12th gen Intel Core i5, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, excellent ASUS ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad, in a sharp looking design that comes in at an attractive price. Great if you’re a student, business professional, or even content creator. Today I’m going to share my experience using the VivoBook 16X as my main computer over the past weeks and cover everything you need to know. Let's take a closer look at the design. First, for a 16” laptop, the VivoBook 16X is surprisingly lightweight and thin. It has a nice tapering design on the side and comes in at 1.8 KG (4 pounds). For a plastic built, it still feels solid in the hand with only minimal keyboard flex. Ports: USB 3.2 Type C, two USB 3.2, HDMI, USB 2.0, headphone/mic and power. When I started using this laptop I quickly fell in love with the keyboard and touchpad. Has a full-size ASUS ErgoSense keyboard, as well as a NumberPad - great for productivity. The keys are stable, with plenty of key travel and have a satisfying click, it is also fully backlit. The touchpad is smooth to scroll on, click and drag. Also the top case area, features ASUS’s Antibacterial Guard to protect against harmful bacteria. The built in speakers are reasonably loud, good for Zoom conferencing but for things like music and movies the clarity and depth leaves room for improvement. Above the display sits the 720p webcam, which will get the job done, with accurate skin tones even in lower light conditions. I like the built-in webcam cover for instant privacy. Now let’s talk about my favourite feature of the VivoBook 16X and that is the display. Comes with 16” full HD LED display. I like the 16:10 aspect ratio, slightly taller than the typical 16:9 ratio, giving more vertical screen space. Ideal for productivity. Display folds all the way flat. Anti glare coating on the display does well at blocking out the worst of reflections and combined with the 600 nits of brightness, it is clear and bright enough for any indoor setting. Colours also look great, far better compared to other Windows laptops I’ve tried in this price range. What about performance? Intel Core i5 processor with IRIS Graphics, 16GB DDR4 Ram, and 512GB PCIE SSD equate to solid performance. Minecraft runs well, with render distance set to 23 I got around 60 to 90 FPS. While gaming the 16X never got uncomfortably hot thanks to ASUS’s IceCool. Editing photos in Lightroom, things feel quite snappy, as long as you’re not working with too many layers. For day to day mixed productivity tasks, the 16X really shines, with around 7 or so apps open, switching between documents, emails, watching videos - the VivoBook 16X keeps up well and performs above its weight class - providing a smooth experience. In terms of battery, in my use the battery life has been just above average, I got around 5-7 hrs of productivity use, with more heavy tasks this goes down to 3-4 hours, not uncommon for laptops with larger displays. At the end of the day, who is the ASUS VivoBook 16X for? If you are looking for a well priced, solid all-round Windows 11 laptop for productivity tasks, content creation, content consumption and even some gaming, the ASUS VivoBook 16X is one I can definitely recommend!

Dion Schuddeboom… I request to make a video on which MacBook is best for a student on budget or teacher and the kind of discount offers for thé students or teachers in India.
The display looks Pale in your video. As if display got Jaundice..
Thanks for sharing the aspect ratio that helps!
I really love the versatility of your videos and the wide range of products you review ❤
Thanks!
you're doing well day by day with every review. keep up the good work.
Hi Istiak, thanks for your kind words. I will do my best
Reviews are getting detailed and to the point at the same time more and more everytime good job 👏👏
i like the keyboard and camera cover. Can't stress enough how a camera cover is imp now days, we can sleep peacefully during online classes
Hi Manar, thanks for the feedback
Another great review, Dion! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Eduardo, many more to come
Great video as usual! I love how the laptop has a retro style. With this strong spec of a laptop, this for me sounds like a sleeper. The outside looks like a modern regular look of a laptop but then when you open it, you see this retro look on the screen and keyboard, which looks great for me but then when you look at the specs, you can have a fairly decen performance, yeah.. a sleeper. Keep making these great videos Dion.
Hi John, thanks for the detailed feedback. Many videos to come!
Hi John, appreciated!. Many more videos to come soon
I was able to use an Asus laptop before and it performed well. Thanks for sharing your review, I am up to date.😊
my pleasure
Thanks for the review!Btw what customisation you use on your laptop in video,I am quite amazed how it looks.
I have the ASUS vivobook flip 14 and I absolutely love it. If I got another laptop It would probably also be an ASUS. Also I'm so glad all the models have the keyboard lit it has made my life so much easier especially since you can adjust the brightness of the light. And I absolutely love that when you restart it or shut it down you don't have too sign in again before you're able to use the fingerprint, it just makes life so much easier. Also I am soo glad I got the flip because having this brand as a tablet and computer is just so crazy. If anyone is looking for a laptop you should definitely look into an ASUS
Wow this is long TL;DR I adore this brand 😂
Great review. What do you think I should get between Vivobook 15 which is OLED or Vivobook 16X? Looking forward to a reply. Thanks mate.
Great product review 👍 keep going 😊
Thank you, I will
Have you done a video for best computer for music production? Or any music production items?
Love the review
Thank you
"Colors are also great. Far better compared to other Windows laptops that I've tried". Totally unbiased, reliable review. Totally.
Thanks!
That was sarcasm wasn't it 😂😂😂
@@Riteshkrpanda :DD
Nar but he's actually saying it how it is, I own this laptop and it's a fuckin beast for what you pay.
How is it now? Good? @@lukej452
Great video
Once again dear Dion completes an informative review for a valuable device. Like you said beautiful big screen display with light weight ❤👌. Bro keep it up and make more informative video reviews in future 👍❤
Thanks Mansoor!!
@@DionMedia Always welcome Dear 🙏❤
Thank you for posting this video Dion! I don't use windows based computers at home, but I have a family member who does and might be in the market for a new laptop. I will definitely forward or show them this video if they choose to look into getting a new laptop in the near future.
Would this laptop be suitable for someone doing video editing? I'm not familiar with video editing software for windows, but I believe they use "Sony Vegas" or "Vegas Pro" (I can't recall the exact name).
Thanks again for such incredible reviews, as well as honest and reliable information, presented in such a clear and informative manner!
Hi, good to hear from you again and thank you for your continued support. As far as your question is concerned: yes, video editing is possible, but preferably on the lighter version. The ASUS will support the Vegas programs. Best!
@@DionMedia Oh, wonderful! Thanks Dion! I'll let my husband know, and I'll forward the link to this video to him if he's interested learning more. Thanks again!
Would this run adobe applications well?
It's good to see that best possible product.....😳🥰
I've owned this laptop now for about 5 months, and it's been an absolute beast, (AMD 16GB version) the value for money is really good. Performance is good, it's quiet (basically no fan noise).... the build quality is good, it doesn't look like it's gonna fall apart. The keyboard / trackpad are nice.... the thermals are great, of course if you run intensive tasks etc it will heat up slightly, but nothing out of the ordinary. The display is also good, i'd advice calibrating it to your tastes though as it does have a slight orange hue, but easily calibrated to colder settings via windows calibration. The screen is Matte, so no stupid glare or reflection.
For general use, and mild gaming it's perfect, and the value for money puts a lot of other big brands to shame. In addition the charging port is on the right hand side, which is useful of course if you use the laptop in bed and only have right hand side plugs etc, so no weird cable tangling. The battery is awesome, lasts a long time, and charges quickly.
The laptop is quite heavy, but nothing crazy. There is no USB-C port which supports power delivery on this model, but the barrel charger is more than good enough if the laptop is mostly going to be used in one location.
Big fan of ASUS now - I'm converted (Hopefully never touching DELL ever again!) if you want something which is good value for money, does the job efficiently... and will last a long time - definitely have a look at this 👍
Hi Luke, great to hear and thanks for sharing your experience!
very good summary and thanks for spending time on display quality and confirming matte finish which i like...cheers
I'm getting this laptop but with the Intel i5 1235u and 16 gigs of ram, I hope it's good
Hi, Does the fan turn on often during general use? Basically a quiet machine? Can it play FullHD movies without lagging?
Its very silent machine except the trackpad clicks.
Would you recommend buying asus vivobook s16, 16gb ram 256 memory if you have the option or buying a Lenovo thinkpad P53 (i7, 16 GB ram, 512 GB memory and nvidia graphic card) for the same price? Which would you go for?
The Lenovo p53 is from 2019 but this one is new with a little worse specs. What would you recommend?
Both for the same price around 600$
How did you remove the big sticker?
can you save docs to the desktop?
you know if can install linux normally?
I have the 17 inch version i3 8gb memory is it strong for video editing 3.00ghz intel 2 core
i just bought it but the keyboard do not lite , can any one explain ?
Does this laptop offer USB Ports and HDMI Ports and how does it sound ? Does it have good bass and speakers is this laptop worth $479.99 ?
very nice review.
Thanks Mohammed
@@DionMedia you're welcome sir
What can you tell me about the fan Noise. Is it loudly and disturbing or quiet by just using the laptop to look things up in the Internet or watch anything.
In my experience it is not disturbing
does sims 4 Run smoothly on it?
no thunderbolt on USB?
No fingerprint sensor?
I want to buy this laptop but in the store they're selling Intel core I3 11th gen & i5 12th gen. So is it good rather than the ryzen 5600H processor which usually comes with this laptop ?
Sorry, I have not experience with the Ryzen
Where can i on or of back light
H series right?
Informative tech reviews!! 🫶
Hi Charles, thanks
is it an IPS?
Thank DS
Lovely bro ❤️
Thanks 🤗
@@DionMedia welcome
I'm just starting to learn to code. I'm stuck between asus and macbook air m1 which one should i get? or any other suggestions huawei etc..
Hi, I do not code, but my advice would be to base your choice on the compatibility of the operation system with the coding apps you use. When you are on. the window side you will find more flexibility
this display is 600 nits???
the ryzen variant 16x is only 300 nits?
different screen?
No real answer to this one, but I notice that window producers can make really many different displays with slightly different specs
Any idea on purchasing the best refurbished laptop could go all the back to 2020 or 2021 even if the value is there any suggestions you could make would be a great help.
Hi Peter, I have a lot to say about Mac books, but not enough (yet) with windows lap tops. Sorry!
Could i do 2D animation design on this laptop? And i've bought a monitor so could i also run this laptop through my monitor?
Yes, you can connect to your monitor. The ASUS is not meant for heavy design apps, but it is capable of running lighter apps.
@@DionMedia Thank you for the info. I think someone is posing as you to trick people cause i got a reply saying been selected as winner of - blah,blah,blah so i've ignored it.
How to trun on black light keyboard this laptop 💻 😫
Keyboard settings
❤❤❤
How to activate the backlight keyboard sir.
Depends on the region but you will see the icon. for sure
Is it possible to use autocad in that laptop?
HI, although I do not use auto cad my self, it needs quite some power to run smoothly. although the Vivobook will most likely be able to run it, do not expect the best performance as this is a mid range spec device
@gartcave
Depending on the price Asus decides for the 120 Hz LCD version of this laptop, the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16" could have finally got some competition. But ofc I wouldn't hold up my hopes of a competitive price considering it's a "creator laptop" with more than one gimmick.
Hello sir,
I want to purchase this laptop , please share the specifications...
This is Asus vivobook 16 X or asus vivobook 16 ??
Hi, it is in the video.
What is the srgb ratio please reply
...less than 50%. It has poor SRGB Ratio
Can you review hp 15s plzzz
HI Adnan, I have a busy schedule, will do my best, but probably not. Sorry!
Is this good for editing? If so, in 4K? 🙏
You need power to edit that kind of videos and although the Asus is a very good laptop, it would be pushing it to edit in 4K
Which would u choose between this and the Lenovo Ideapad 5 pro 16ACH6 with Ryzen 5 5600H? 🙏❤
Hi Ender, I have not done a comparison between these three. Sorry
Hi! IPS display?
can not confirm it
how many cores?
Hi Paul, two
Is ASUS silver ion antibacterial protection safe for health? I found information that silver ions have negative health effects and are very toxic
Hi, sorry, I am no specialist. It would surprise me if this would be the case though.
Silver has positive health effects including strong antibacterial and antiviral effects. You have been mislead. Silver has been used for many centuries and so far no-one has died from it. Remember the adage "they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth"? That saying was not about wealth, it was about health! Normally a silver spoon was bought by the godparents as part of their duties to look after the child.
is the usb type c thunderbolt?
Yes! 👍
Which one is better, an asus vivobook 15x i7-1255U or asus vivobook 16x ryzen 7 5800h kindly suggest i am buying this weeek
Sorry, I have not made that comparison
Cpu that ends with U is underclocked go for the ryzen 5600h for high performance.
Why not i7 and 16g ram ?
:)
Hi sir! Do you really have a giveaway to win a macbook air and a samsung phone?
Hi Dan, no. I have a giveaway, that is correct, but that is a Iphone14Pro. The winner will be announce on the 12th of March
@@DionMedia thank you sir for the reply. Someone replied here in my first comment and he used your photo and we chatted on Telegram.
The information about the screen are wrong. These are the correct specs and they are the same with lenovo idea pad 3 and asus x515 and that is about 53% sRGB (you cant make a worse screen)
16.0-inch, WUXGA (1920 x 1200) 16:10 aspect ratio, IPS-level Panel, LED Backlit, 60Hz refresh rate, 300nits, 45% NTSC color gamut, Anti-glare display, Non-touch screen, (Screen-to-body ratio)86%
Hi Branislav, companies like ASUS make great notebooks, but the specs can differ a bit by region
I too ordered a Vivobook 16x with the 300nits screen, i thought this was the only option except for the PRO series with OLED
Can I upgrade RAM
Good question, in the distant past at times one could, but as far as I know (but I am not sure), this is not possible anymore
Sir i am a web developer. Is this laptop good for coding?
Hi Aarya, unfortunately I am not familiar enough with coding to give a good answer to this question. ASUS is a very decent laptop, but it does hits its limits at a certain moment.
@@DionMedia okay. Thanks sir.
Its more than enough for coding hardware wise...but display is 45% NTSC
Is it okay for architecture students? For autocad and rendering software?
Hi what is this?
I sent message 😊
Hi Dan, please do not. This is scam
Hi Dan, giveaways procedure follow what I describe.
@@DionMedia what’s the procedure?
Forca 5 running in this laptop

This is perfect for me. I was looking at budget gaming laptops but they all seem to get pretty hot and i'm just a casual gamer anyway ... not really wishing to play the latest AAA titles and i fully know there are thousands of great games out there i could easily play on this thing, although the one i'm looking at locally has a ryzen 7 5800H and a Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics. I've recently been told that high temperatures tends to shorten the lifespan of a laptop, and i want my next purchase to last a good few years and so i started looking at 'all-rounder' laptops like this with integrated graphics. This laptop seems to have alot of praise. A little outdated now but i think it'll suit me fine. I might just go and buy it tomorrow.
And true to my word i did indeed go and buy it today. It was pricey though at £850, but i'm happy because it was the one i really kinda wanted. Damn i missed a bargain though ... there was a lenovo or vivobook at £450 with a ryzen 7 (not the 5800H) 8gb ram and vega 7 graphics and a 512gb SSD, ... heck with another stick of ram that would've been a good cheap alternative. So anyway i paid over the odds somewhat but got the perfect laptop for me i think. I very nearly bought a Nitro 5 with a Ryzen 5 and RTX360 for about the same price but no, i decided to go with nice cool temps.
Sounds great and enjoy your new ASUS!
@@DionMedia I will absolutely enjoy it! 👍
@@hardywatkins7737 it's so good isn't it, the AMD version is so nice. Literally no complaints from me, lovely laptop.
@@lukej452 The only thing i really don't like is that it has Alexa built-in ... i could've done without that nonsense and i wish i'd known. My other complaints are to do with windows 11 ... the widgets (more nonsense) and a crazy, totally crappy right click menue. I also don't like having microsoft edge forced on me (it's tricky to get rid of) and don't like having 'bing' forced on me either .
I like the laptop though ... the 60hz screen is really nice and clear and sharp, i like the grey metallic clean design of the laptop. The keys are a bit squishy though. Keypad is too large for my liking (i disabled it anyway ... i always use a mouse). Of course the Ryzen 7 and 16 gig of ram you can't go wrong, the vega 7 is impressive but it is the main bottleneck nonetheless with gaming ... but then this isn't a gaming laptop, ... it's still a great integrated graphics though.
All in all i'm pleased with it.
is it possible to install 2.5 ssd also
no, no room for it
How long does it take to charge from 0 to 100?
Best is to do this slowly, during the night for example. Fast charging can go in less than an hour from “low” to 60%
Is this a chrombook
How it is for Roblox
Like 50-60 fps
Is it made in china?
Designed in Taiwan and produced in China, as far as I know
Can I play gta 5?
Plastic Laptop I hate the most
Hi Nishar, see where you come from. This one is quite solid though
What about ASUS Vivobook 16X K3605ZC-MB541WS
@mjoshss
The Asus VivoBook 16X certainly has the features that students need. Simple and straightforward features in finishing simple tasks.
@elroyashwin
Love the size, price and quality of it! Perfect for study
@jyychyi I still think m1 MacBook is the best
This is great for non-gamers (developers for e.g.) I always wanted a laptop with a powerful CPU and under 60w GPU. This looks great! @allrubia
