Macbook Air 15 M3 vs Asus Vivobook OLED
Macbook Air M3 15 Specs**
- 16GB RAM
- 256GB SSD
- Price 800
- 1.5KG
Asus Vivobook S15 - 16GB RAM - Ryzen 7 8845HS - 512GB RAM - OLED 2.8K 120 Hz - 1.5KG - Price: 520
Macbook Pros - No windows issues, just works every time (should do) - maybe an edge in battery life? 15 -18 hours - lower wattage CPU so less power consumption - fanless design
Asus Pros - cheaper - OLED better screen at 120hz (but maybe burn in issue) - Ryzen has a strong iGPU radeon 780m (some light gaming on side) - reportedly 14 hours battery life (windows estimates dont know how real that is)
I need this primarily for work, so excellent battery life, portability and reliability are most important. Also prefer quiet machine and minimal heat/fan noise.
I'd be happy with 10+ hours battery life
For work I just log into a virtual desktop (Citrix) environment so don't do anything natively on laptop for work purposes. May just do occasional browsing
