ASUS Vivobook 15.6" Silver 2025
The 24GB of RAM and a 10-core Intel Core 5 120U processor provide substantial multitasking headroom rarely found at this price point. A 15.6-inch touchscreen with a backlit keyboard and fingerprint sensor adds practical flexibility for daily workflows, though the 250-nit display is dim. This configuration is best for business users and developers who need high memory capacity for virtual machines and data processing, not color-critical visual work.
