This Asus Vivobook 15 with a Ryzen 7 and 16GB RAM is down to Dhs 2,499

A lot of other options around this price point usually make you compromise on one or the other, either dropping you to 8GB of RAM (which is fine, but not great for multitasking) or a less powerful Ryzen 5 chip.

Heads up if you've been looking for a new laptop — Sharaf DG has the Asus Vivobook 15 on sale for Dhs 2,499, down from its usual Dhs 2,799. This is actually a really good one if you need a solid machine for work or school that won't feel slow after a year.

For context, getting a laptop with both a powerful Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB of RAM at this price is pretty solid for the UAE market. A lot of other options around this price point usually make you compromise on one or the other, either dropping you to 8GB of RAM (which is fine, but not great for multitasking) or a less powerful Ryzen 5 chip. This is the kind of laptop you get if you're tired of your computer freezing up just because you have too many Chrome tabs and a Zoom call open at the same time.

The specs that actually matter here are pretty strong:

Ryzen 7 CPU and 16GB of RAM: This is a great combo that will handle everyday work, streaming, and heavy multitasking without breaking a sweat.
512GB NVMe SSD: You get a good amount of fast storage, so your apps and files will load quickly.
Good quality-of-life features: It comes with a backlit keyboard, a proper 1080p IPS screen, and modern ports like USB-C and Wi-Fi 6E.

The main catch? This isn't a gaming laptop. The integrated AMD Radeon graphics are great for video streaming and everyday tasks, but they won't handle demanding games like Call of Duty or Cyberpunk 2077. Also, the deal page highlights a monthly payment, but the full price is Dhs 2,499, which is what you should focus on.

Honestly, if you've been putting off an upgrade and just need a reliable, fast laptop for everything but serious gaming, this is a great deal to grab from Sharaf DG. It's hard to find a better spec sheet for this price right now.
