Asus Malaysia has refreshed its entry-level Vivobook Go series of laptops today, starting with a larger model called the Vivobook Go 15. This latest offering gives buyers a big screen and a new AMD Ryzen 7000 series processor at a decently low price.
Asus Vivobook Go 15 Malaysia pricing
In Malaysia, the Vivobook Go 15 is available in two configurations with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM. Prices are as follows:
- Asus Vivobook Go 15 (E1504F), 8GB RAM – RM2,299
- Asus Vivobook Go 15 (E1504F), 16GB RAM – RM2,499

Asus Vivobook Go 15 specs and features
The Vivobook Go 15 is a rather conventional laptop with a 15.6-inch NanoEdge Full HD display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Unlike in other markets, we don’t get an OLED option; instead, the device is LCD only, with a TN panel for the base model and an IPS panel for the more expensive 16GB RAM variant.
Both have a 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 250 nits; the hinge, on the other hand, opens 180 degrees, allowing the laptop to lay flat. Up top is a 720p webcam with a built-in privacy shutter.
As a result of the larger display, you get a full-sized ErgoSense chiclet keyboard with a numpad, claimed to offer 1.4mm of key travel. There are also warning stripes on the Enter key and the lid, a reference of the Vivobook Go 15 being rugged enough to achieve the US military’s MIL-STD-810H durability standard. When closed, the laptop is 17.9mm thick and weighs 1.63kg.
Power comes from a quad-core AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor, based on the Zen 2 architecture. It’s paired with integrated Radeon 610M graphics along with either 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR5 5,500MHz RAM. You also get a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD for storage.
Juicing all of this is a 45Wh battery that can be charged at up to 45W, bringing it up to 60% charge in 49 minutes. In terms of I/O, you get a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, two USB-A ports (one USB 3.2 Gen 1 and one USB 2.0), a HDMI 1.4 port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Vivobook Go 15 also comes with WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, along with a fingerprint sensor, Asus SonicMaster speakers and DTS audio processing; it ships with Windows 11 Home.
