Hello, allen ngo
Because of this review, I've bought a nvme m.2 ssd (970 evo 250GB)
But this machine couldn't boot up from this ssd, so unfortunately I havd to instal win 10 on hdd
Could you please say us, your test machine also had windows on hdd? Or on nvme ssd?
Your answer is very important.
Thanks advance

Took delivery of my Asus K570UD-ES54 on 7/26 and noticed an odd behavior while stress testing today:  If I tilt the notebook side to side at a moderate pace (not violently, maybe 2/3 of a second to lower each side) the blades from the fan rubs against its housing.  Oftentimes, when I stop tilting, the fan then clicks (about 15times/sec if I had to guess).

Wondering if the reviewer can reproduce this on the test unit?  Seems like an unfortunate side effect of the race for thinness.

Only other gripe I have is that the power jack is on the right side, where your mouse generally sits....

Laptop will do ~2.4GHz for about 50s before dropping down to 2GHz (running newest BIOS 307) where it rides stable at about 68C on Prime95 only. 
If you fire up Furmark AND Prime95, CPU only stays at 2.4GHz for about 30 seconds, then drops to 2GHz.  GPU @ 1415MHz instead of 1470MHz.  Everything equalizes at about 84C.

Really too bad this thing didn't get dual cooling fans like the newer Coffee Lake machines (i5-8300H/i7-8750H), but I'm sure that's because of those machines' 45W TDP CPUs (albeit with the same GTX1050) whereas this one is only 25W.  Still, here you've got a 25W+45W (CPU+GPU) machine hobbling along with one slender fan, while the newer CPUs get two fans to deal with 45W+45W.  That poor little fan has to work moderately hard even under normal light usage (web browsing) to keep temps in check.

wow, an even more budget gaming than the TUF series. I'm glad it didn't have the red and black accent :) Would be good if they have the option to increase TDP because these 8th gen U series processor tends to prone with early significant drop and this chassis seems to be able to withstand it (since it's nearly the same chassis as the TUF and lower class ROG laptops)

Lightweight performer. The new Vivobook is lighter and thinner than most 15.6-inch laptops equipped with the same GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. The keyboard and poor serviceability, however, bring down an otherwise great multimedia machine.
