ASUS has just refreshed the VivoBook Pro 16X OLED, now called the ‘VivoBook Pro 16X 3D OLED’ on account of its Spatial Vision glassless 3D technology. While ASUS has not started selling this year’s edition, Amazon is currently running a sizeable discount on the version that landed in late 2021. The model may be running an older Ryzen 5000 series APU, but it packs the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, a GPU that NVIDIA only replaced this month at CES 2023 with the RTX 4050.
Specifically, the VivoBook Pro 16X OLED utilizes the Ryzen 7 5800H, an APU with eight Zen 3 CPU cores, a 45 W TDP and a Radeon RX Vega 8 iGPU built around a 7 nm manufacturing process. The machine also offers 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage with a 16-inch OLED display that outputs at 3,840 x 2,400 pixels and 60 Hz. These powerful components are powered by a 96 Wh battery too that delivered over 10 hours of moderate use in our battery runtime tests with a pre-production unit.
Typically, ASUS sells this configuration for US$1,449.99, US$200 cheaper than its Ryzen 9 6900HX, RTX 3050 Ti and 32 GB of RAM sporting successor. However, the Ryzen 7 5800H-powered edition is currently available for US$1,099.99 through Amazon, a 24% and US$400 discount. Unfortunately, Amazon has not shared when the deal ends, but there are also used options available for an even greater reduction from the machine’s MSRP.
