ASUS VivoBook series guide
ASUS VivoBook — 58 models, 2020–2026, from $246 to $1500.
ASUS VivoBook — 58 models in the used-laptop catalog , spanning 2020 to 2026 , priced from $246 to $1500 . This guide covers the configuration spread across the line and which setups are worth buying in 2026.
Where the VivoBook line stands in 2026
ASUS VivoBook is the young line in this catalog: all 58 models date from 2020 or later, and the roster skews modern — laptops (46), a handful of convertibles (7) and ultrabooks (2). Asking prices run $246–$1,500 with a median of $553. Because there is no legacy tail, VivoBook buying is less about avoiding old units and more about catching the right generation: OLED screens arrived en masse in 2023, and the RTX-bearing Pro variants are where the line gets interesting.
The configuration spread
The silicon is contemporary across the board: Core i7 (47 configurations) and Core i5 (41) anchor the Intel side, Ryzen 7 (25) and Ryzen 5 (19) the AMD side, and Ryzen AI plus Snapdragon X units (20 combined) carry 2024–2026. Discrete graphics are unusually common for a consumer line: RTX 3050 units lead with 10 configurations, RTX 4060 machines add 6, and 3050 Ti another 4. RAM ceilings span 16–64 GB, screens 14–18.4 inches (OLED variants throughout the 2023 generation), and weights 1.28–2.6 kg.
Price versus age
With no pre-2020 tail, the ladder is short and steep. 2021 machines ask $399–$666 — the cheapest modern-era rung. 2022 sits at $470–$737. Then a quirk: several 2023 machines list at $553 flat, including OLED and RTX 3050/4060 configurations, while other 2023 units run up to $921 — the $553 cluster is the value anomaly of this roster. 2024 starts at $650, 2025 at $765, and 2026 machines ask $900–$1,500 with Snapdragon X silicon. The used discount only opens from 2023 backward.
Which one to buy
The $553 cluster of 2023 machines is the target. The VivoBook Pro 15 OLED (2023, $553, Ryzen 7 6800H with RTX 3050) is a creator-grade pick: H-series six-core-plus silicon, a real GPU, OLED panel. The VivoBook Pro 16X 3D OLED (2023, $553, i7-13650HX with RTX 4060) is the outright performance steal of the entire series. For lighter use, the Vivobook 15 OLED (2023, $553, Ryzen 5 7530U) or the budget floor Vivobook Go 15 OLED (2023, $246, Ryzen 3 7320U) cover office and student duty — the Go at $246 is the cheapest OLED machine in this catalog.
Bottom line
Roster medians read modern and healthy: reliability 72.5 (the strongest in the consumer series here), CPU score 72.2, energy efficiency 81.4, performance index 45.1. Gaming index 28 with zero games clearing recommended settings at the median configuration — but the RTX sub-lineup flips that script for the machines that carry one. Buy the 2023 $553 cluster before the market reprices it; the 2024+ generations are fine machines at new-machine money.
