It does look alright, though, with clean aesthetics and minimal branding. Still, this is not a premium design by any means. The materials have a matte finishing and feel grippy to the touch, as well as seem quite robust and don’t flex in any noticeable way.
It’s also built fairly well, with a thick aluminum piece used for lid, but plastic for the main chassis, underside, and bezels. It’s also not the slimmest of laptops, at 20 mm thick, which allows space inside for the internals, the thermal module, and a fair-sized battery, as well as space on the sides for a fair selection of ports. It’s averagely sized, as you can tell from the bezels around the 16:9 display, and that leaves room for a full-keyboard and clickpad, as well as a spacious clickpad.

We’ll also cover the Intel-based VivoBook Pro 15 series in a separate article, but for now, let’s find out what this AMD model is all about. Our test unit is the M3500QC model that pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor with 16 GB of RAM and an Nvidia RTX 3050 dGPU, but we’ll also discuss the M3500QA variants in this article, which run on either Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H processors with Raden Vega iGPUs, as well as the top Ryzen 9 5900HX configuration, in case you’re considering any of those. All these start from around 700 EUR for the base configurations over here in Europe at the time of this article.Īsus offers the VivoBook Pro 15 series in a couple of different configurations, and this here is the AMD-based Pro 15 M3500 subseries.
It’s a nice-looking and well-built design with good inputs and IO and competent hardware in this AMD variant tested here, paired with a large battery and an OLED display with punchy colors, excellent contrast, and good brightness.
