Thankfully, the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 is a more affordable take on a creator laptop like the MacBook Pro, and I was excited to try it out. Despite a good amount of power under the hood and an excellent display, this Asus machine has some quirks, like the dated 16:9 aspect ratio screen and lackluster battery life.

The 16:9 aspect ratio screen is the reason behind the outdated appearance. Only a handful of new 16:9 aspect ratio laptops are coming out nowadays.
