ASUS VivoBook 16 M1605NAQ with AMD Ryzen 7 170, 16GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD, and 16-inch NanoEdge display in Cool Silver

AMD Ryzen 7 170 processor with DDR5 memory:

The Ryzen 7 170 runs at 3.2 GHz base and boosts to 4.75 GHz across 8 cores and 16 threads, with 20MB of cache. Paired with 16GB DDR5 RAM - 8GB on-board plus an 8GB SO-DIMM (upgradeable to 24GB total) - it handles everyday productivity, multitasking, and media work without hesitation. The 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD keeps load times low and provides ample room for files, applications, and media libraries.

16-inch NanoEdge display with TÜV Rheinland certification:

The 16.0-inch IPS-level panel runs at 1920 x 1200 WUXGA resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio, giving more vertical screen space than a standard 16:9 laptop - useful for documents, spreadsheets, and web browsing. The slim NanoEdge bezels deliver an 86% screen-to-body ratio, and the display carries TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light output, making it more comfortable for extended sessions.

MIL-STD-810H durability and ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus:

The VivoBook 16 is engineered to meet US MIL-STD-810H standards across 12 test methods and 26 test procedures, covering drops, vibration, humidity, and temperature variation. The chassis also features ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus - a surface coating using positively-charged silver ions certified under ISO 21702 and ISO 22196 to inhibit SARS-CoV-2, H3N2 influenza, and E. coli by over 99% within 24 hours.

ErgoSense keyboard, fingerprint login, and privacy webcam:

The full-size ErgoSense keyboard offers 19.05mm key pitch, 1.4mm key travel, and a 0.2mm keycap dish for a considered typing feel, and includes a numeric keypad. A fingerprint sensor built into the touchpad enables Windows Hello biometric login. The 720p HD webcam comes with a physical privacy shutter - a practical addition for home and hybrid working.

Connectivity and battery:

Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 keep the VivoBook 16 current for wireless connectivity. Ports include 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C with power delivery, 1x USB 2.0 Type-A, 1x HDMI 1.4, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. The 42WHrs 3-cell Li-ion battery charges via the included 45W AC adapter, with fast charging bringing a low battery to 60% in approximately 49 minutes.

Setup and Care

Getting started:

The VivoBook 16 comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed and ready to configure on first boot. Connect the 45W AC adapter, follow the on-screen Windows setup, and sign in with a Microsoft account to activate your apps and settings. The fingerprint sensor in the touchpad can be enrolled during setup for quick Windows Hello login.

Keeping your laptop in good condition:

Clean the display with a soft, lint-free cloth - avoid spraying liquids directly onto the screen. The ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus surface coating on the chassis is part of the design and requires no special maintenance. Keep vents clear of obstructions to maintain airflow and consistent performance.

Battery care:

Use the Battery Health Charging feature in MyASUS to limit maximum charge to 80% for everyday use, which helps extend the battery's long-term capacity. For travel or full-day use away from a socket, charging to 100% is straightforward with the included 45W adapter.

Software and updates:

The MyASUS app provides a central hub for system updates, diagnostics, and features including WiFi SmartConnect, AI Noise Canceling, and ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology. Keep Windows Update and MyASUS up to date for the best performance and security.
