Theres actually one more thing about the laptop's value proposition that I forgot to mention: it comes with a free license for MS Office for Home & Students, which is a great value add for students and anyone who needs to use Office.
Channels with 100,000 subs don't offer the info you just did!!! I also think your a natural speaker.... keep up the good work. I subscribed! Cheers little brother.... lol, and God bless!!!
Hey @NovaTech ! Great video I really enjoyed it:) I was wondering how you think this might run as both a laptop for school and light gaming (just occasional Valorant)?
Thanks! I think this will do well overall for a school laptop given its fast productivity performance, large screen, and great inputs, and its light gaming performance should be pretty good as well, if my initial esports tests were anything to go by (around 60fps at native resolution with low settings). I will eventually try to get actual benchmark numbers for Valorant though. Hope that helps!
Seriously? 🤔 I literally dived in the entire UA-cam just to get such a review and found it finally here!, 🙄 The only thing missing is the charger Watt... But I'll neglect that anyways! 😌
I believe it was a 4GB 3200 MT/s Kingston SODIMM RAM that I had on my old laptop. Any 4-8GB 3200 MT/s SODIMM RAM from reputable manufacturers should work though so that gives you plenty of options. Hope that helps!
Good question! I'm actually unsure about pairing this with a 16GB stick, but given what I know about asynchronous dual channel, it *should* work even if it kinda pushes the limits of memory compatibility. The ideal configuration would still be a matching 8GB 3200Mhz stick for 16GB running full dual channel but 24GB is also nice for total capacity even if its asynchronous.
Hi! I don't have a device to accurately measure brightness or color, but I did cite RTings' review in the video where they go over the display characteristics in more detail: www.rtings.com/laptop/reviews/asus/vivobook-16-m1605-2023 Hope that helps!
Hi! Bought it at Octagon Computers in SM City. From what I've seen recently it's harder to find now at that exact price point but it does pop up every once in a while (Vivobook 14 and 15 are more common now with similar specs). Hope that helps!

wait.. where did you get that for 31k pesos in the philippines?? that specific model retails around 35-40k everywhere i looked
Congratulations for you improve in your videos. ASUS Laptops are very Good, decent price and very good quality and frequently with good processor
Lods, yung ram at storage poba niyan ay, upgradable?
Yes may slots siya for RAM at storage.
what ram did you buy? I don't wanna waste time to find what's compatible with my laptop (we have the same laptop)

Bro, vivobook 16 i3 1215u version have same display too ? And is it have extra ssd expansion slot ?
As far as I can tell, the display on the Intel version is the same as the AMD config. Unfortunately, there's no extra ssd slot, just one nvme slot.
dual channel ba to? bali out of the box, single chanel 8GB lang meron? pwede pa magdagdag ng isa pa?
Yes po, 8GB single channel out of the box saka may isang RAM slot.
Can you upgrade this ram capacity, with the 8gb soldered ram + 16gb ram ?

How is the display... brightness & accuracy?

Hope that helps!
is its storage expandable?
It only has one m.2 slot so the stock SSD will have to be replaced to upgrade the storage.
Bro ... can i use 65watt pd charger?
Hello, thats possible i think given that the usb-c port supports power delivery.
its a led display?
Hello, its an IPS LCD display
Is this metal body
Hi, the laptop chassis is made of plastic, not metal.
Where to buy at 31kphp?
