The VivoBook doesn't exactly come with the newest hardware (Alder Lake, Ampere), but it does score points for other reasons: The Asus laptop has a bright 16-inch screen (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) in 16:10 format which has a high refresh rate (120 Hz) and great color space coverage (DCI-P3). https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-VivoBook-Pro-16-review-A-multimedia-laptop-with-a-Core-i7-RTX-3050-Ti-and-DCI-P3.719610.0.html
Good that some manufacturers are start taking silent operation into consideration. Lets have the objective of 0 (zero) noise for office, seeing movies, listening to music, mail work.
Smartphones can do it why not a laptop?
I would love to see the review of the version K6602VU of this model but with the "16.0-inch, WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS, 300nit, 120Hz refresh rate"

By K6602VU, I meant with intel 13 gen, rtx 4050, 16GB/32GB of ram.
4 years ago I bought a Vivobook Pro 17. It was my first laptop.
It died after 2 and a half years, MB defective.
The laptop just stopped working, all I did was to shut it down in one night.
The laptop was running the latest bios because the SSD died 6 months prior but replaced under warranty.
So all being said I would not recommend an ASUS laptop, especially one with ram soldered like the one reviewed here.
My Asus N550JK - audio jack failure after 8 months of use (on no other laptop I have ever encountered such a problem). Moreover, for some buyers, audio jack failures went consistently with an interval of 2-3 months, I know such cases from the forums. After 2 years and 1 month, the screen panel burns out.
