The ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 OLED series ran from 2021 through 2024 as ASUS's answer to a laptop that could edit photos, run light creative software, and still play games when the workday ended. It sits under the chassis codes K3500, K6500 (including K6502 and K6502VU), M6500 (and M6500XV), N6506, and Q543 (including Q543MJ and Q543MV), spanning several processor and graphics generations under one marketing name. What kept the line relevant across four model years was the OLED panel and discrete NVIDIA graphics at a price below ASUS's premium Zenbook and ROG tiers, which is exactly why these units still hold decent resale value today. Pick your processor, graphics card, and condition in the picker above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit.

Confirm you have the VivoBook Pro 15 OLED

The fastest way to confirm your exact configuration is Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to see your processor and graphics card, or type msinfo32 to see the full model string under "System Model." The chassis code is also printed on the sticker on the underside of the laptop, usually below the ASUS logo. Match that code to the groupings below to see which processor and graphics generations it shipped with.

K3500

  • The original 2021 chassis
  • Paired with 11th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors
  • GTX 1650 or entry RTX 3050 graphics

K6500 / K6502 / K6502VU

  • 2022-2023 refresh
  • 12th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 6000 series options
  • Introduced RTX 3050 Ti alongside GTX 1650

M6500 / M6500XV

  • Parallel 2022-2023 chassis to the K6500
  • Similar processor and graphics spread
  • Sold through slightly different retail channels

N6506 / Q543 / Q543MJ / Q543MV

  • 2023-2024 refresh
  • 13th Gen Intel Core, Intel Core Ultra 7/9 Series 1, or AMD Ryzen 7000 series
  • Adds RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 graphics options

Prefer a visual check? Every generation uses a 15.6-inch chassis with the ErgoLift hinge, which tilts the keyboard slightly when the lid opens. The lid finish is typically a matte "Quiet Blue" or "Cool Silver," and the trackpad on most units doubles as an ASUS NumberPad when you hold the top-right corner.

Display & audio

The 15.6-inch OLED panel is the reason this series exists. Early K3500 units shipped with a full HD OLED screen, while the K6500, M6500, N6506, and Q543 refreshes moved to a sharper 2.8K resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate. All versions carry ASUS's OLED color and low-blue-light certifications.

Audio comes from a two-speaker setup tuned in partnership with Harman Kardon, with Dolby Atmos support on most configurations. It is adequate for video calls and casual media but not a substitute for headphones during serious editing work.

Security runs through a fingerprint reader built into the power button on most trims, which pairs with Windows Hello for sign-in without a password.

Ports & connectivity

Port selection stayed fairly consistent across the four model years, with minor shuffling between generations.

Wired
  • USB-C (data, and Power Delivery or DisplayPort on some configurations)
  • USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports
  • HDMI output
  • 3.5mm combo audio jack
  • microSD card reader on most units
Wireless
  • Wi-Fi 6
  • Bluetooth 5

Battery, build & more

Battery. Runtime depends heavily on which processor and GPU your unit shipped with. Expect a comfortable stretch of light, screen-on use, with noticeably shorter life under sustained graphics load or when driving the OLED panel at full brightness.

Software. Units shipped with Windows 10 or Windows 11 depending on model year, along with ASUS's MyASUS utility for driver updates and system diagnostics.

Finishes. Most configurations were sold in a matte Quiet Blue or Cool Silver lid finish, with a brushed metal deck.

Market positioning. This series occupies the space between ASUS's budget VivoBook line and its premium Zenbook and ROG models. It appeals to students and casual creators who want OLED color accuracy and a discrete GPU without paying for a full gaming laptop chassis.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Check the sticker on the bottom of the laptop for the chassis code, then confirm the processor and graphics card by pressing Windows key + R, typing dxdiag, and pressing Enter. The dxdiag window lists your CPU under the System tab and your GPU under the Display tab. You can also run msinfo32 for the full system model string. Matching both the sticker code and the dxdiag output to the picker above gets you the most accurate quote.
02 How do I tell it apart from a standard, non-OLED ASUS VivoBook 15?
The clearest tell is the screen itself. The VivoBook Pro 15 OLED uses an OLED panel with noticeably deeper blacks and richer color than the LCD panel on a standard VivoBook 15, and the model sticker on the bottom will show one of the chassis codes covered above, like K6500 or N6506, rather than a plain VivoBook designation. The Pro chassis also includes a discrete NVIDIA GPU, while most standard VivoBook 15 models run on integrated graphics only.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a unit that won't power on can still be sold, and the condition picker above adjusts your quote to match. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account, remove the device from that account's list of devices, and suspend or disable BitLocker if it was enabled. A device still locked to your Microsoft account can't be resold and will affect your offer.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The graphics card tier matters most in this series, since an RTX 4060 or RTX 4050 configuration is worth meaningfully more than a GTX 1650 unit in otherwise identical condition. After that, a screen free of cracks or dead pixels, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and having the original charger on hand all move the offer upward. Clean cosmetic condition, with no dents or missing keys, rounds out the biggest factors.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery, then choose Reset this PC and select "Remove everything." Before that finishes, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from your account's device list, and suspend BitLocker if it's active so the reset isn't blocked. Once your device arrives, we test it against the configuration and condition you selected, then pay by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Shipping is free and insured.
