A Detailed Review Of The ASUS X515 (2020) Laptop
The ASUS X515 (2020, a budget-friendly Windows laptop featuring a 15.6-inch display, boasts a reasonably sturdy all-plastic construction. Its slim and lightweight design enhances portability, but the absence of keyboard backlighting hinders usage in low-light conditions. The full-size keyboard, inclusive of a numpad, offers an acceptable typing experience. Unfortunately, the screen appears dim and washed out, while the low-resolution webcam fails to capture fine details.
The battery life falls short for an 8-hour day, and despite featuring a USB-C port, it cannot be used for laptop charging or external display connectivity. With an Intel 10th Gen processor and integrated graphics, the laptop smoothly handles light tasks such as web browsing but struggles with more demanding activities like video editing. On a positive note, it maintains reasonable temperature levels and avoids throttling under heavy loads.
For academic purposes, the ASUS X515 is considered mediocre. Despite its decent build quality in an all-plastic frame, its limited battery life necessitates carrying the charger. The dim screen proves challenging in well-lit environments, compounded by the absence of keyboard backlighting and poor webcam quality. While the Intel 10th Gen processor and integrated graphics suffice for basic student tasks, they fall short when handling more intensive activities like 3D rendering.

- Handles reflections well.
CONS
- The display doesn’t get bright enough to combat glare.
- Short battery life.
