NEW DELHI: ASUS's India store lists two Vivobook 15 Core 3 configurations at Rs 52,990 each: X1504VAP-BQ1321WS in Cool Silver and X1504VAP-IN006WS in Quiet Blue. Both specify an Intel Core 3 100U, 8GB DDR5 memory and a 512GB SSD. Their country-of-origin entries differ, while the principal computing specifications match. Price as of 28 October 2026, 00:34 IST.

What changes between these listings
The clearest visible distinction is the finish. The silver model also lists a grey keyboard, while the blue model lists a black keyboard. Both specify backlit keyboards with number keys. A quotation that stops at Vivobook 15 leaves these details unresolved, even when the processor and price happen to be the same.
For the India-origin IN006WS, ASUS names Padget Electronics as the manufacturer. The BQ1321WS page identifies Digitek in Chongqing and lists China as the country of origin. These are disclosures for the particular listings. They do not establish a difference in speed, reliability or component quality.
That gives an institution comparing these exact machines a fairly narrow hardware question. The published CPU, installed memory and storage do not explain a performance distinction between them. Finish, procurement requirements and the full part number still matter, but a different suffix alone is not evidence of a faster computer.
The shared working configuration
Both pages specify a 15.6-inch Full HD display, with 1920 x 1080 resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate and 250-nit brightness. The store describes anti-glare surfaces. These figures identify the screen being supplied; the broader Vivobook family page's optional features should not be assumed to appear on either machine.
The Core 3 100U is listed with six cores and eight threads. ASUS specifies a maximum processor frequency of 4.7GHz. This is a component specification, not an observed speed for a spreadsheet, a video call or a student's project. No application benchmark was performed for this comparison.
The memory layout includes onboard RAM and a DDR5 SODIMM position, with ASUS advertising expansion up to 24GB. The supplied configuration remains 8GB. A later memory change would be a separate component and service decision, so the expansion ceiling should not be counted as memory included in the listed price.
What the desk and classroom setup involves
ASUS's X1504 product overview describes a hinge that opens flat and a sliding webcam cover. The hinge can make it easier to show work to someone sitting across a table. It does not turn the device into a detachable tablet, and the family page identifies touch as an optional feature.
The connection layout includes Type-A USB ports, a Type-C USB port, HDMI and a combined audio socket. For a student carrying a mouse, presentation cable and headset, mapping those items to the laptop is more useful than counting connectors without considering what will be attached.
Both India listings supply a 45W adapter and describe a 42Wh battery. Capacity and adapter rating do not establish how long an online class will run away from a socket. Actual endurance has not been measured here. Our external monitor comparison covers another part of a fixed study desk.
Who it is for
These specifications place the pair in the discussion for students writing assignments and office users handling documents, email and routine administration. That is an assessment from the configuration. Specialist course software and workplace applications still need to be checked against their own requirements.
The shared software listing includes Windows 11 Home, Office Home 2024 and a Microsoft 365 Basic benefit valid for a year. ASUS says bundled Microsoft and Windows benefits must be redeemed within 90 days of initial setup. Recording that condition alongside the model number helps distinguish an included entitlement from one already activated.
