as the biggest 17-incher fan in the world i should say i don't think the chosen competition is accurate.
closest competitors from the same price range to this model(not particular but 17 inch vivobooks) are
-Dell inspiron 3793
-Lenovo IdeaPad L340 17(WITH ips screen)
-HP 17-ca1000
all thee has 300+nit 60/90 srgb/adobe screen.
vivobook is the lightest and with some metal with the cost of underwhelming screen
all four in ~700 price range
