We’re seeing some fantastic laptop deals from Best Buy’s Presidents’ Day Sale, but this one featuring the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED is up there among the most attractive offers. From its original price of $1,500, it’s down to a more affordable $900 following a $600 discount. The sale will run until February 17, but you’re going to want to proceed with your purchase as soon as you can because there’s a chance that stocks sell out quickly for this powerful and gorgeous laptop.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED laptop

Asus is one of the best laptop brands because it makes reliable devices at affordable prices, and while the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED isn’t among its entries in our list of the best laptops, it’s an excellent example of what it offers. You’ll be getting the Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 1 processor and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, plus 24GB of RAM that’s more than what most top-tier machines are packing. With these specifications, and access to Microsoft’s Copilot through Windows 11 Home, you’ll be breezing through your daily workload without any slowdowns even when you’re multitasking between apps.

The 15.6-inch OLED screen of the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED features Full HD resolution and peak brightness of 400 nits. It’s perfect for all types of content creation, which will be made easier by the Asus DialPad that gives you precise control over parameters in your creative software. The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED also comes with a 2TB SSD, which should provide more than enough storage space for all of the projects you’ll be working on.

If you’re planning to upgrade your laptop, you should set your sights on the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED, especially now that it’s $600 off from Best Buy’s Presidents’ Day Sale. It’s down to just $900 from its sticker price of $1,500, and while the sale won’t end until February 17, we highly recommend completing your transaction for the laptop immediately because there’s a chance that stocks sell out as soon as tomorrow. If you want to get the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED laptop for less than $1,000, you have to go ahead and buy it right now.
