The ASUS VivoBook 15 F515EA-DH55 is a thin 15.6-inch laptop for everyday work, study and entertainment. It runs Windows 11 Home on an 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor with 8GB of memory and a 512GB solid-state drive, and it adds a backlit keyboard and a fingerprint sensor.
Display
The screen is 15.6 inches, Full HD (1920 x 1080), with a NanoEdge bezel that ASUS says gives an 83% screen-to-body ratio. ASUS also cites 178-degree viewing angles. Full HD at this size gives reasonably sharp text and enough room for two windows side by side.
Processor and graphics
The Intel Core i5-1135G7 has four cores and eight threads, with a boost of up to 4.2 GHz and 8MB of cache, as listed. It's paired with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. That combination typically handles office software, web browsing, video streaming, video calls and light photo editing. Integrated graphics are not designed for demanding modern games, though lighter titles can run at reduced settings.
Memory and storage
The listing gives 4GB of DDR4 soldered on board plus a 4GB DDR4 SO-DIMM module, for 8GB in total. The SO-DIMM design suggests the memory can be changed, but check the manual for ASUS's guidance on upgrades. Storage is a 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, which typically boots and loads programs much faster than a hard drive. Note that the brand description text mentions different figures, so confirm the exact configuration of model F515EA-DH55.
Keyboard, security and ports
The ergonomic keyboard is backlit. The fingerprint sensor works with Windows Hello for signing in. Ports are USB 3.2 Type-A (Gen 1), USB 3.2 Type-C (Gen 1), USB 2.0 and HDMI. Wireless is dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), which ASUS says keeps connections steady in congested environments.
Size and weight
The laptop measures 14.2 x 9.3 x 0.8 inches (about 36 x 23.6 x 2 cm) and weighs 4.0 lb (about 1.8 kg), a thin and light build for a 15.6-inch machine.
Who it suits
It suits students, home workers and families who want a larger screen, a fast SSD and Windows 11 for everyday tasks. It is less suited to heavy 3D work or high-end gaming.
What to check before you buy
- Your software: confirm your programs run on Windows 11 and need nothing beyond integrated graphics.
- Ports: there is one HDMI and a mix of USB; check that the Type-C port suits your accessories, and whether it supports charging or display output.
- Screen type: check the manual or ASUS page for panel details if colour work matters.
- Battery and charger: check the manual for battery details and charging.
- Upgrades: see ASUS's guidance before opening the laptop.
