Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6500QF-HN048W

It adopts a sober, elegant and original look with its thin and light Quiet Blue design certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H.

The connectivity integrated into this versatile gaming laptop is good, including 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, a useful HDMI video output for easily connecting this PC to a TV or a monitor for example, an audio port or even 3 USB including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in on it a USB 3.0 device.

Biometric authentication is possible through fingerprint recognition functionality and Windows Hello technology.

The chiclet keyboard benefits from a backlighting system that can be activated whenever you need to better distinguish your keys.

Players will appreciate that the screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz because it provides better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life compared to the 60Hz standard.
The Full HD screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology. However, this is not high-end since the colorimetry here is classic.
As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).

Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6500QF-HN048W

The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6500QF-HN048W is a versatile 15-inch laptop focused on gaming and creation.

Whether with the Radeon Vega 8 graphics solution integrated into the processor or the dedicated GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, watching photos and videos is possible.
The GeForce RTX 2050 is activated by Optimus technology to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon Vega 8.

Because Optimus favors operation on the Radeon Vega 8 wherever possible despite its much lower performance. Because it is energy efficient which promotes autonomy which is established here at around 5 hours on battery in light use.

NVIDIA Optimus technology actually automatically switches in real time between the GeForce RTX 2050 and the Radeon Vega 8. The former is activated when it comes to performing graphics tasks that are too heavy for the Radeon Vega 8, typically for gaming.

The Radeon Vega 8 takes place in the Ryzen 7 5800H older generation AMD Octo Core Cezanne processor which delivers good performance in everyday use such as office automation and surfing the Internet or even for viewing photos and videos, especially since it is associated with 16 GB of RAM.

Furthermore, thanks to this core as well as the GeForce RTX 2050, we can carry out multimedia content processing taking advantage of multi-cores, RAM and GPU computing power, particularly under software using it (e.g. Vegas, VSDC, Adobe suite). We are thinking in particular of video encoding or photo editing.

The storage is up to par since it is entrusted to an SSD which provides rapid processing as well as starts/stops and application launches.

Because an SSD offers high speed, in addition to being silent, energy efficient and robust.
Its presence clearly reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.

Asus logically opts here for a classic solution, namely a 512 GB SSD which is also found in many models sold – including (much) more expensive ones.

However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage unit. To obtain fast transfers, we will favor a USB 3.0/USB-C device.

Finally, expect heat and noise under heavy loads (e.g. games, processing) from this versatile gaming and creation-oriented laptop PC which is as easily transportable as an Ultrabook since it is thin and light .
To limit its temperatures, we can associate it with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
