Asus ZenBook Pro UX550VD (i7, GTX 1050, Full-HD) Laptop Review

[Serhio]

Currently I dont think 8 GB of RAM will slow down the system if you dont do special things. Most games and apps will be fine with 8 GB.

I want to use this laptop the next few years, so I'm so worried about this issue. It seems to me that the GTX-1050T will not be able to reveal its potential with 8GB of RAM. Are my fears in vain? Also I heard that the lack of RAM can compensate for the swap file on the SSD, how much is this true?

@Serhio:
Depends on what you do. RAM management is pretty awful on Windows, for instance, streaming a high-res video online would take more memory than necessarily needed.
By "potential", if you mean "perceived snappiness" during graphic intensive work or navigating an interface, things like sustainable max CPU clockspeed, amount of cache, random read and write speeds of storage, and software optimization will determine most of it.
As for paging on low RAM it won't be as speedy, even on an expensive NVMe SSD. Better to just buy more memory and disable paging to begin with (which shouldn't be an issue unless you do something that says it'll absolutely malfunction without setting the paging file on a GUI level).

Hello,

Do you have any idea when the 302 version of BIOS will be released?

Hi guys, correct me if I am wrong - I don't see .icm profile anywhere at the page...

Thanks.

Text from the review states: Our calibrated .icm-profile is available for free in the display box above.

Hi guys,

was wondering if the temperatures in your stress were reached after undervolting/software optimization or out of the box?

Just wanted to know if I can game on it (no AAA titles) without it getting very hot and throttling heavily.

I just bought an Asus ZenBook UX550VD.

There are problems with the keyboard. Certain keys are not giving the correct characters.

For example: when I press the key "0" it returns the character "/". Shift + key "0" returns the character "/" as well.

In the same way the key "p" returns "*" and the key "-" returns "+".

When I press these keys together with the Function key "fn" the correct characters appear.

In Windows 10, the correct keyboard layout is selected.

The problem also occurs without Windows e.g. when I use the keys in BIOS setup.

Has anyone had a similar problem or any idea what could be the problem?

ky është laptopi më i keq në jetën time që kam pasur, nxehet shumë pa bërë asgjë!
