Asus Vivobook 15X OLED X1503ZA 2022 (Intel Core i3-1220P, 8GB, 256GB, 15.6" FHD)

Asus VivoBook 15X OLED X1503ZA 2022 Overview:

Design and Display

Although the Asus VivoBook 15X OLED 2022 (i3) is a 15-inch laptop, it features a comparatively lighter design, weighing around 1.70 kg. Further, the build also secures MIL-STD 810H military-grade standards. It does have a Transparent Silver color option in other regions, but you get the Quiet Blue sole shade option in Nepal.

The USP of the Vivobook 15X is the Lumina OLED display panel with a 60Hz refresh rate at this price point. Not only that, the display has 600 nits of HDR peak brightness, a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, certified Pantone validation, and HDR True Black 600 certification, which makes it a perfect companion for movies and light editing tasks alike!

Performance

Under the hood, the Asus Vivobook 15X OLED (X1503ZA) powers using an i3-1220P processor with a 10-core setup, 1.1 GHz base frequency, and a boost frequency of 4.4 GHz. This configuration contains an Intel UHD integrated graphics card. There is also an i5 12500H version of this exact laptop (Asus Vivobook 15X X1503ZA)  with an Iris Xe GPU that is a bit on the pricier side.

In case you’re wondering how a Core i3-1220P holds up today, we ran the Cinebench R23 and compared it against the newer Core i5-1335U on the Acer Aspire 5 2023 (review), and it offers pretty comparable performance on the multi-core side but the i5 has higher Single Core score so it should be much snappier for things like web browsing, opening applications, and running single-threaded tasks. However, for multi-threaded tasks or heavy workloads, the performance difference may not be as noticeable.

On board, there is 8GB of DDR4 installed RAM and a 4GB spare DDR4 SO-DIMM slot. Additionally, the Vivobook 15X OLED ships with a 256GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD.

Battery and Connectivity

There are no compromises on battery either. A 70Wh 3-cell Li-ion cell fuels the Asus Vivobook 15X OLED, with 65W charging support for this i3 variant. Moreover, the AC charger is included in the box.

In addition to all of that, the laptop has 3 Type-A ports (1x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1), one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, and an HDMI slot. Moreover, you also get a 3.5mm aux-in jack for both the microphone and headphones. For wireless connections, you get WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3.
