ASUS VivoBook 15 X515EA Review
ASUS VivoBook 15 X515EA, the Tiger Lake 15.6-inch VivoBook 15 (X515 / F515 family). A common configuration pairs a Core i5-1135G7 with 8GB DDR4, a 256GB PCIe SSD and a 15.6-inch 1920x1080 screen.
LaptopMedia's review of the same X515/F515 chassis found an AUO B156HAN02.1 30-pin FHD IPS panel, a 37Wh battery, 4GB of soldered RAM plus one SO-DIMM slot, one M.2 slot and a 2.5-inch bay, and a 1.80kg weight. Config details (i5-1135G7, 8GB, 256GB, WiFi 5) are from the X515EA-DS51 retail listing at https://www.pc-canada.com/item/asus-vivobook-x515-x515ea-ds51-ca-15-6-notebook-pc/x515ea-ds51-ca . We could not confirm the X515EA battery part code from an OEM parts source, so it is not linked yet.
Screen replacement
FHD non-touch: AUO B156HAN02.1 (30-pin eDP), the panel LaptopMedia found in its X515/F515 review unit. Other 30-pin FHD IPS non-touch panels in set p156-fhd-ips-30p-ntouch-a share the connector; confirm connector side before ordering.
Our verdict

Expert rating6.1 / 10
The VivoBook 15 X515EA uses a Core i5-1135G7 with integrated graphics, 8GB of DDR4 and 256GB of storage. The 15.6-inch 1080p IPS screen and 1.8 kg weight suit homework, browsing and office tasks. The soldered plus SO-DIMM memory layout gives some room to grow.
The 37Wh battery is small for a 15-inch laptop, and WiFi 5 and a 60Hz display date it to 2020. The 256GB drive fills quickly, so plan for extra storage.
