Asus’ Vivobook 15 is one of the best-built, nicest-feeling laptops you can buy for under $500. This 11th Gen model is a solid performer, but problems with the battery life and audio don’t quite live up to its beautiful chassis.

For £500, the Vivobook 15 has much to offer, including a good keyboard, impressive speakers and high-end build quality and design, but the display is poor even for a laptop at this price point.
