Asus Vivobook 17 X1704VA

The Asus Vivobook 17 family includes entry-level and mid-range laptops designed for users who need an affordable and functional computer for basic tasks: document work, studying, video viewing, or web surfing. These devices focus on a minimalist approach to design and features, yet offer sufficient flexibility in configuration choices. The lineup is based on hybrid Intel Raptor Lake processors, which, similar to ARM processors, combine two types of cores (powerful and energy-efficient) to utilize them according to the current load, thereby optimizing the device's performance level and battery life.

The most affordable models, Asus Vivobook 17 X1704VA with Core i3, handle office programs and light multitasking, laptops with Core i5 add performance for smoother work with multiple applications, and models with Core i7 are quite suitable for efficiently working with heavy applications like Pro Tools, DaVinci Resolve, Blender, and After Effects. The RAM size varies between 8 and 16 GB, while the role of the system storage is consistently played by an M.2 NVMe SSD with a capacity ranging from 128 GB to 512 GB. Although the series lacks discrete graphics, the integrated Intel UHD/Iris Xe graphics cores manage basic graphic tasks and high-resolution video playback. The display is represented by a classic basic-level IPS matrix with Full HD resolution (1920x1080), a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz, limited coverage of 45% NTSC, and TÜV Rheinland certification.
