ASUS VivoBook 15 (A516), a versatile and affordable 15-inch laptop

GAMEFINITY.ID, Jakarta – Laptops today are not only present as a tool to support work. Thanks to the development of technology, especially in the field of communication, the role of the laptop has now turned into a supporting device for various activities. Not only for working and processing office documents, modern laptops can also be used for studying, enjoying entertainment, and even being creative.

However, some people still prefer to use a desktop computer instead of a laptop. One of the reasons is that the average laptop currently circulating in the Indonesian market has a screen size of 14 inches which for some people is still too small. Meanwhile, laptops with larger screens usually come with large, thick, heavy bodies, and are laptops that are specifically intended for certain uses such as playing games or for professional creative workers.

Seeing these conditions, ASUS, which is the number one laptop manufacturer in Indonesia, took the initiative to present mainstream consumer laptops with 15-inch screens, one of which is the VivoBook 15 (A513) which is also present as a versatile laptop for all people. So what are the benefits of using a modern 15-inch laptop, especially the VivoBook 15 (A516)? Let’s go deeper.

Very Portable

When compared to 15-inch laptops in its class 5 years ago, the VivoBook 15 (A516) is clearly very different. The body of this laptop now appears much more compact and can even be compared to various 14-inch sailing laptops that were released several years ago. It can be said that the VivoBook 15 (A516) is the right laptop for users of old 14-inch laptops who are looking for a replacement laptop.

One of the reasons why the VivoBook 15 (A516) can appear more compact is thanks to the NanoEdge Display technology. The screen technology that was previously only present in the ASUS ZenBook line of premium laptops allows the VivoBook 15 (A516) to have a very thin screen bezel, which is only 6mm. Thanks to the thin bezels, the overall dimensions of the laptop can be trimmed so that it becomes more compact in size. NanoEdge Display also makes the VivoBook 15 (A516) screen display more immersive thanks to a screen-to-body ratio that reaches 84%.

Not only that, the VivoBook 15 (A516) also has a relatively light weight for a laptop with a 15-inch screen, which is only 1.7kg. Due to its compact size and light weight, VivoBook 15 (A516) is extremely portable, easy to carry, and can accompany you all the time.

The VivoBook 15 (A516) screen also has another feature, namely a wide viewing angle. Thanks to a viewing angle of up to 178 degrees, the VivoBook 15 (A516) is suitable for use when watching movies together, especially since the screen size is large. Watching movies is even more comfortable because the VivoBook 15 (A516) screen has received certification from TÜV Rheinland for Flicker Free and Low Blue Light. What does it mean?

This certification indicates that the VivoBook 15 (A516) screen is safer for eye health because it is free from flicker effects and has a low level of blue light emission.
