Asus VivoBook 17 X705UA (i7-7100U, HD620) Laptop Review

[Redaktion]

Big laptop, small price. The VivoBook 17 X705UA from Asus can be had for 500 Euros ($620). For this price, the manufacturer promises a lot of internal storage space, heaps of performance and a great design. In our review, we take the lowest-priced version to the task to see how well these promises hold up under scrutiny.

Likewise, while I really really like this Asus Vivobook F705QA, I wish it would come with a 120GB SSD rather than the slow 1TB HDD. :(

I mean, it has everything I'm looking for, except that. Unfortunately, this laptop is hard to upgrade or have the HDD swapped out. :(

The next model is twice as expensive, has the decent MX150 (coz I don't want the battery-zapping GTX1050 coz I don't game) but only limited to 8GB RAM. :(

Don't understand why there isn't a 16GB MX150 option for mainstream users like us who don't game. I open tonnes of Chrome tabs and needs long battery life, but no good options are offered for the ASUS Vivobook 17 incher. :(
