Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6506MU-MA008W

Certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H, this multipurpose AI-oriented multimedia laptop that can be recharged to 50% in 30 minutes has an elegant and discreet look with its thin and light Cool Silver design.

IceCool Pro technology cools it via 2 IceBlade fans (103 blades), 5 copper heat pipes and 3 ventilation grilles, with noise generated below 40 dBA.

The connectivity integrated into this creative gaming laptop PC is good, consisting of 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, Ethernet and audio ports, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example or 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 5 times faster only USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.

Biometric authentication is possible by facial recognition via the Infrared functionality of the webcam and Windows Hello.
Fortunately, when you are not using the webcam, you can close it to preserve privacy.

Asus offers this Ultrabook its DialPad functionality, an intuitive wheel that takes place in the upper left corner of the touchpad. Thanks to DialPad, you can precisely and quickly control the parameters of creative applications (eg: Adobe suite).

Whenever you need to better distinguish the keys, you can activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard, original in terms of design with color differentiation depending on the keys.

The screen will delight creatives with its 2.8K High Definition, especially as it is associated with a 16/10th format displaying more information on height than the classic 16/9th.
As a bonus, the screen offers DCI-P3 colorimetric accuracy much higher than average. It is associated with great black depth, significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles as well as low latency. This provides better everyday fluidity than a standard 60Hz panel, especially since it is associated with a frequency of 120Hz.
Due to its OLED technology, the screen is adorned with a glossy coating which gives punch to the colors but is sensitive to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors).

Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6506MU-MA008W

The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6506MU-MA008W may appeal to those who wish to acquire a versatile High Definition High Fidelity 15-inch thin and light portable multimedia portable PC focused on AI, gaming and creation.

Being thin and light, this versatile Ultrabook is easy to carry. It will therefore be of interest to nomads and some in search of a Student laptop because it is also able to last around 8 hours on battery in light use, as revealed our test dedicated to the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 N6506.

To ensure such autonomy, this creative gaming laptop PC relies on a battery based on NVIDIA Optimus technology. It favors operation as much as possible on the Intel Arc graphics solution inserted in the processor because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.

Optimus actually determines in real time the level of graphics resources needed based on the tasks performed by the user. When the Intel Arc (with superior performance to the classic Iris Xe) proves insufficient, Optimus automatically activates the dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card.

More demanding and powerful than the Intel Arc, the GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing is a dedicated NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card thanks to which we can play recent games… as long as we agree to concessions under resource-demanding opuses 3D to achieve good gameplay.
Because playing in 2.8K requires more graphics calculations than in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

The Intel Arc takes place in the Core Ultra 7 155H, Intel processor Meteor Lake with 14 hybrid cores and AI (Artificial Intelligence) capabilities, supported here by a good amount of above-average 24 GB RAM.

The GeForce RTX 4050 is well supported in its tasks by this heart which will delight creators. Because it reveals its potential in areas that are intensive in processor and RAM resources, taking advantage of multi-core (and AI). This is for example the case in video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing. Under this type of work, processing is carried out more quickly than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16 GB DDR4/5.

Creative people will be even more delighted that the GeForce RTX 4050 provides graphics acceleration for multimedia processing using GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, Vegas or VSDC.

Multiple personal creations, files, games and software can find space on the integrated 1000 GB high capacity SSD storage.

The SSD is quiet, energy efficient, shock resistant and very fast.
Its high velocity clearly reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.

Thanks to the SSD, game/software launches, processing and starts/stops are quick, as is the arrival on the online game cards.

Finally, when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments), this versatile AI-oriented High Definition High Fidelity multimedia gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard.
To contain its temperatures it can be coupled with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
