DCON review of the current Vivobook line. This covers the 14" VivoBook, 15" Vivobook and the 17" VivoBook. The review unit is the 17" Vivobook and it has an AMD Ryzen 7 quad-core processor, 12gbs of RAM, and 512gb Solid-State Drive. All of which can be had for $599. It represents an incredible value for the performance and the keyboard is excellent as well.

I really enjoy Asus’s laptops...how bout you? Also I had a goof not associated with the laptop. Can you spot it? 👀

@JohnnyInVR 4 года назад

Been using Asus laptops for the most part and I just can't see myself using another brand for now. Just bought the Vivobook S533, what's weird to me is how there isnt too many reviews out there.

@DevonConnelly 4 года назад

I agree. They’re great laptops regardless of the price but the fact that they are affordable is the 🍒 on top.

@n.s.5278 4 года назад

Hi Devon. Thanks, this is excellent as a review. Well done. I am sensitive to flex: hate it. But l do like the travel in the keyboard. What is the alternative 17 inch laptop to this one in this price bracket?

@k.i.c6463 4 года назад

@@DevonConnelly I got the laptop. I'd like to say that the flex on the keyboard doesn't occur in normal use like other budget laptops. I would say the build quality isn't terrible unless your are trying to flex it.

Hi Devon, I like your videos, may I ask do you recommend this laptop or Huawei matebook D14 u have already reviewed year ago? and which is better, glossy or matte screen for regular office work and watching movies?

@DevonConnelly 4 года назад

I’d personally go with the matebook as it’s more portable and the build is much better. Matte displays are the way to go IMO. Price wise the vivobook Is an excellent value as I got the model I reviewed on sale for $499. If you need a larger screen the VivoBook is the better option too. They’re both great laptops , especially for the price. Thank you.

@Pathfinder8 4 года назад

Huawei has a 14" screen, only a Ryzen 5 instead of 7, 256g SSD instead of 512, 8gigs RAM instead of 12... so it's not even in the same class as this 17" system. I'll go with the 17" + power. Sure, it's not a "gamer" laptop, but it doesn't cost $1200 either. Right now on Amazon this is listed as the #1 laptop recommendation. (I missed the Best Buy sale that would have saved me $70. Sigh).

@Kareem-cx4fi 3 года назад

Lot of flex? Deal breaker. My current that needs replacing was a plastic build Acer which was also a good value back in 2017. Performance/specs still holds up today, but need to replace because the body is already falling apart. Hinge is broken and body flex causes the mouse to move or click when used on lap. If you can afford I would recommend a laptop that has a solid build... Specs maybe good but if the body can't hold up, you will be replacing it sooner than you would like regardless.

@TheEudaemonicPlague 3 года назад

I suspect that you'd want to get it with a 1 TB SSD and the biggest HDD you can manage. Plenty of them come with both installed, so I also suspect that either the one reviewed here is a fluke, or the missing hardware can be obtained and installed later. I just don't see any way they'd have a different motherboard in those with the HDD.
