ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (2024) review: creative pro laptop gets gaming-friendly update

Really, the only reason not to buy the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED is if you have the 2023 ASUS Vivobook Pro 15. It's an iterative but noticeable upgrade to that model, and offers a fantastic balance of performance, screen splendour and price, with graphics performance reaching into true professional territory for a price well under £2,000. It's an all-rounder, but one for someone with serious aspirations in at least one of the creative or gaming realms.

Like with most ASUSes in recent years, the screen is the main attraction, though. Here we get a gorgeous 15-inch 3K OLED screen that topped out at 617 nits in my testing, which means the company's claim of a vivid 600-nit peak brightness is actually underselling the real thing. ASUS has been one of the most innovative, risk-taking laptop makers out there when it comes to features for creatives.

And benchmarking brought into light some impressive results too. Geekbench 6 and Cinebench 2024 scores were remarkably close to last year's Acer Predator Helios gaming monster, and despite only 16GB of RAM PCMark 10, 3D Mark and Handbrake scores were hugely impressive too. Digital Content Creation scores in the PCMark 10 test were particularly noteworthy, with a score of 9,496 indicating it's an ideal choice for video editors, streamers and even some 3D pros.

In general, the 14th-generation Vivobook Pro 15 upped its scores by about 10% over last year's model, which considering the value proposition that already offered, has to be seen as impressive.
