ASUS VivoBook NP Series Specs, N580VD, N6506, model identification

User question

What are the specs for the Asus VivoBook NP series notebook?

Artificial Intelligence ResponseLABEL_AI_GENERATED

Direct answer to the question

There does not appear to be an official ASUS VivoBook “NP series” notebook family. ASUS VivoBook models are normally identified by model codes such as X1504, X1605, S5507, K3500, N580VD, N6506, etc., not by an “NP” series name. ASUS’s current VivoBook listings show families such as VivoBook, VivoBook S, VivoBook Flip, and VivoBook Pro, with alphanumeric model codes rather than an NP-series designation. (asus.com)

Most likely, “NP” is one of the following:

  • A reseller, school, or regional bundle code, not an ASUS engineering model.
  • A typo or shorthand for VivoBook Pro N-series, especially older VivoBook Pro 15 N580VD models.
  • A misunderstanding of “NP” as in “notebook promotion,” “notebook program,” or similar local sales wording.

If you mean the ASUS VivoBook Pro N-series, the two most relevant possibilities are:

Likely intended model Type Typical specs
VivoBook Pro 15 N580VD Older 15.6-inch multimedia notebook Intel Core i7-7700HQ, GTX 1050, 15.6-inch FHD, 8–16 GB RAM, SSD + HDD options
Vivobook Pro 15 OLED N6506 Modern 15.6-inch creator notebook Intel Core Ultra, RTX 4050/4060 depending variant, 3K OLED 120 Hz, DDR5, PCIe 4.0 SSD

Detailed problem analysis

1. Why “ASUS VivoBook NP series” is ambiguous

From an engineering and product-identification perspective, “NP series” is not enough to determine the specifications of an ASUS laptop. ASUS laptops are configured by a base chassis/model code plus a regional SKU. For example:

  • N580VD-DB74T
  • X1605ZA-MB587WS
  • K3500PC
  • N6506CU
  • S5507QA

The base model determines the motherboard, chassis, cooling system, display class, battery size, and I/O layout. The suffix determines the exact CPU, RAM, SSD, display panel, operating system, and region-specific bundle.

So if you only have “VivoBook NP series,” there is no single reliable spec sheet.


Most likely match: ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 N580VD

If by “NP” you meant an older VivoBook Pro N-series, the closest documented match is the ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 N580VD.

Typical specifications:

Component ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 N580VD typical specification
Display 15.6-inch Full HD, 1920 × 1080; some retail variants had 4K UHD touch displays
CPU Intel 7th Gen Core i7-7700HQ quad-core, 2.8 GHz base / up to 3.8 GHz turbo
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, commonly 4 GB GDDR5
RAM 8 GB or 16 GB DDR4 depending configuration; some ASUS regional guides list 2 RAM slots
Storage SSD + HDD combinations were common, e.g. 128/256 GB SSD plus 1 TB HDD; some retail variants used 512 GB SSD
Ports USB-C 3.1 Gen 1, USB-A 3.0, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, RJ45 Ethernet, SD card reader, 3.5 mm audio
Wireless 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.x depending variant
Weight Around 2.0–2.3 kg depending configuration
Operating system at launch Windows 10 Home 64-bit

ASUS’s 2018 regional product guide listed the N580VD with a 15.6-inch Full HD display, 7th Gen Intel Core i7-7700HQ, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 4 GB DDR5 VRAM, 1 TB HDD plus SSD options, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, HDMI, USB-C, USB 3.0, two USB 2.0 ports, and about 1.99 kg weight. (asus.com) A specific retail N580VD-DB74T configuration was sold with a Core i7-7700HQ, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB M.2 SATA SSD, 15.6-inch 1080p touch display, and GTX 1050 4 GB GPU. (bhphotovideo.com)


Modern “N”/Pro alternative: ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED N6506

If you are asking about a newer VivoBook Pro model with an N-series chassis code, then the current relevant line is the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED N6506.

One current ASUS US-listed configuration, N6506CU, includes:

Component ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED N6506CU specification
Display 15.6-inch 3K OLED, 2880 × 1620, 16:9, 120 Hz, 0.2 ms, 100% DCI-P3, Pantone validated
CPU Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, 16 cores / 16 threads, up to 5.4 GHz
NPU Intel AI Boost NPU, up to 13 TOPS
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, 6 GB GDDR6, plus Intel Arc integrated graphics
Memory DDR5 SO-DIMM configuration; exact capacity depends on SKU
Storage 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD; ASUS lists two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots
Ports Thunderbolt 4 with display/power delivery, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with display/power delivery, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm combo jack
Camera 5 MP camera with privacy shutter
Wireless Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3
Battery 75 Wh, 4-cell Li-ion
Weight About 1.80 kg / 3.97 lb
Power adapter 200 W adapter
OS Windows 11 Home on the listed ASUS configuration

These details are from ASUS’s current N6506 tech-spec listing. (asus.com)


Current information and trends

Modern VivoBook/Vivobook Pro machines have moved significantly away from the older N580VD-style architecture. Current ASUS VivoBook models emphasize:

  • OLED displays, often 120 Hz and high color-gamut.
  • AI PC branding, with NPUs in Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen AI, Qualcomm Snapdragon X, or similar platforms.
  • Copilot+ PC models, especially in newer VivoBook 14/16 and VivoBook S lines.
  • PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage rather than SATA SSD/HDD combinations.
  • USB-C power delivery and display output, often with Thunderbolt on Intel models.
  • Higher-efficiency platforms, replacing the older 45 W Intel H-series plus GTX 1050 design.

ASUS’s current VivoBook page includes newer Copilot+ PC models such as VivoBook 14 X1407QA, VivoBook S 14 S5406, and VivoBook Flip TP3407, illustrating that the current naming convention is by model code rather than an “NP series.” (asus.com)


Practical guidelines: how to find the exact specs of your unit

To identify the exact ASUS VivoBook model:

  1. Check the bottom label

    • Look for text such as:
      • Model: N580VD
      • Model: X1504VA
      • Model: X1605ZA
      • Model: N6506CU
    • Also note the longer SKU, e.g. N580VD-DB74T.
  2. Use Windows System Information

    • Press Windows + R
    • Type:
      msinfo32
    • Look for:
      • System Manufacturer
      • System Model
      • BIOS Version/Date
  3. Use DirectX Diagnostic Tool

    • Press Windows + R
    • Type:
      dxdiag
    • Check:
      • System Model
      • Processor
      • Memory
      • Display device / GPU
  4. Use PowerShell

    Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem | Select-Object Manufacturer, Model
    Get-CimInstance Win32_BIOS | Select-Object SerialNumber

Once you have the exact model code, the specifications can be determined accurately.


Brief summary

There is no standard ASUS VivoBook “NP series” specification, because “NP series” is not an official ASUS VivoBook model family. If you meant the older VivoBook Pro N580VD, typical specs are Core i7-7700HQ, GTX 1050, 15.6-inch FHD display, DDR4 RAM, and SSD/HDD storage. If you meant a modern N-series Vivobook Pro, the likely match is the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED N6506, with Core Ultra processors, RTX graphics, 3K OLED display, DDR5 memory, PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a 75 Wh battery.
