The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA (i5-1335U) is a competent budget-friendly laptop updated with modern internals ($CurrentDate: Thursday, April 24, 2025$). It delivers solid performance for daily computing, web Browse, office applications, and streaming, thanks to the 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor.

Ideal for:

• Students looking for an affordable and lightweight machine for studies.
• Home users needing a reliable laptop for general tasks and media consumption.
• Office users requiring basic productivity capabilities.
• Users who appreciate features like a webcam shutter, 180° hinge, and optional fingerprint login.

Consider alternatives if:

• Display quality is a priority (Look for models with OLED or 100% sRGB IPS panels).
• You need strong graphics performance for gaming or creative work (Requires a dedicated GPU).
• You require longer battery life (Consider models with larger batteries or ARM-based CPUs).
• A premium metal build is desired (Look at higher-tier Vivobooks or Zenbooks).
• Maximum RAM capacity beyond 16GB/24GB is needed (Choose models with two SO-DIMM slots).

Final Recommendation: A practical and affordable choice for users with basic computing needs. Its performance is adequate for its target audience, and features like the privacy shutter and ErgoSense keyboard add value. However, be mindful of the potential display limitations and the need to potentially add RAM to achieve optimal (dual-channel/Iris Xe) performance. Check the specific configuration carefully before purchasing.
