The ASUS Vivobook 17 is a budget-friendly laptop with a large 17.3-inch IPS display, suitable for general use with decent performance thanks to its Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM. It's not the best choice for heavy tasks like 3D rendering or intensive engineering simulations due to its integrated graphics. The Vivobook's substantial screen size and full-size keyboard with a number pad enhance productivity and multimedia consumption, but its size and weight may limit portability. While it has a relatively modest battery life, it's equipped with various ports, including USB-C, and runs on Windows 11 Home. If general web browsing, office work, and media consumption are your main activities and you appreciate a larger display, it's a solid choice. However, if you require long battery life, plan to carry your laptop frequently, or need high performance for specialized tasks, you may want to consider other options. Give Feedback

Marvin Gollor | May 2022
"The ASUS Vivobook 17 is an affordable 17-inch laptop with passive cooling. On one hand, you get a really quiet and cool work device with a good system performance, many connections, good maintenance options, speakers acceptable for multimedia enjoyment, and a sharp and clear matte FHD IPS display with the Asus VivoBook 17 (F712JA). On the other hand, the USB-C port lacks Power Delivery and DisplayPort, and the display, a higher brightness and better color space coverage."
