FAQs

The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W is powered by an Intel Core 5 120U processor, featuring 10 cores and up to 5.0GHz boost speed. It comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM as standard, with the option to upgrade up to 16GB via the single available SO-DIMM slot. Storage is handled by a fast 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, which keeps boot times short and apps loading quickly. Together, these make it a well-rounded laptop for everyday tasks including browsing, document work, video calls and light multitasking.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 features a 15.6" Full HD IPS-level display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. The screen has an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections in bright environments and is TÜV Rheinland-certified for low blue-light emission, so it’s kinder on your eyes during long work or study sessions. Slim NanoEdge bezels on 3 sides give the screen an 84% screen-to-body ratio, making the laptop feel more modern and immersive for its size.

Yes, it’s a strong choice for both students and home workers. The Intel Core 5 processor and 8GB RAM handle everyday productivity apps, web browsing, video calls and document editing without issue. The 512GB SSD provides plenty of space for coursework, files and apps and the laptop runs Windows 11 Home out of the box. The lightweight design at around 1.7kg makes it easy to carry between rooms or take out with you and WiFi 6 ensures fast and reliable connectivity at home or on campus.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W is equipped with a useful selection of ports for everyday connectivity. You get 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports, one of which supports display output and power delivery, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, 1 HDMI 1.4 output for connecting to an external monitor or TV and a 3.5mm combo audio jack for headphones or a headset. WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.2 handle wireless connectivity. There is no SD card reader on this model.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W has been stringently tested to US Military-grade (MIL-STD-810H) durability standards, meaning it can withstand drops, temperature changes, humidity and vibration that would affect less robust laptops. The 180-degree lay-flat hinge allows the lid to open completely flat, offering flexibility for collaboration or presentations while reducing mechanical strain on the chassis. The body is also treated with ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus, which inhibits the growth of bacteria on the surface, a practical feature for shared workspaces or high-touch environments.

Yes. The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W features a built-in webcam and array microphone, making it ready for video calls, online meetings and virtual classes straight out of the box. It also includes a physical webcam shield, a sliding cover you can close over the lens to instantly block the camera when you need privacy, without relying on software settings. The built-in SonicMaster speakers handle audio output for calls and general media playback.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed. Windows 11 brings a refreshed interface with improved multitasking tools like Snap Layouts, a built-in Microsoft Store and integration with Microsoft 365 apps including Word, Excel and Teams. It also supports Windows Hello for sign-in by fingerprint or face recognition on compatible hardware and includes Microsoft Copilot for AI-assisted productivity.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W has 8GB of RAM soldered on-board plus 1 available SO-DIMM slot, which means you can add an additional RAM stick to take the total up to 16GB. Note that adding a SO-DIMM also enables dual-channel memory mode, which can improve overall system performance. The 512GB NVMe SSD sits in an M.2 slot and can be replaced with a larger drive if you need more storage in the future. It’s worth having these upgrades carried out by a qualified technician to protect your warranty.

Both are capable 15.6-inch laptops aimed at everyday use, but they have some meaningful differences. The ASUS Vivobook 15 features the newer Intel Core 5 120U processor and a TÜV Rheinland-certified display with a physical webcam shield. The Acer Aspire Go 15 brings an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U chip with double the RAM at 16GB, a dedicated Ethernet port, a Copilot AI key and an eco-conscious design using 30% recycled plastic. If you need more RAM out of the box for heavier multitasking, the Acer may suit you better. If you value a more modern processor platform and a premium display with eye-care certification, the ASUS is a strong contender.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA-BQ2890W uses integrated Intel graphics rather than a dedicated GPU, so it’s not designed for demanding games or high-resolution gaming. It handles casual and browser-based games, as well as older or less graphically intensive titles, without issue. The Intel Core 5 processor and 8GB RAM also provide enough headroom for light creative tasks and photo editing. If gaming is a priority for you, a laptop with a dedicated graphics card would be a better fit.
