ASUS K571 - 15.6" 120 Hz - Intel Core i7-10750H - GeForce GTX 1650 Ti - 16 GB DDR4 - 256 GB PCIe SSD + 1 TB HDD - Windows 10 Home - Star Black - Laptop (K571LI-PB71)

Pros: The VivoBook K571 packs a lot punch with it's i7-10750H CPU and 16GB of 2666 RAM. The IPS display is impressive running at a 120 refresh rate. Win 10 shows that there are 4 slots for RAM which means 2 modules could be added. CD Mark shows decent read/write numbers for the 250GB WD Blue NVME drive compatible with a QLC type SSD. The 1TB hard drive is also a WD Blue. The proprietary video configuration runs Intel graphics for low level functions and kicks in the GTX 1650Ti when it's needed. Although in a proprietary setup, the GTX 1650 uses standard NVidia drivers and updates. The ASUS software makes updating the BIOS and firmware easy.

Cons: When the i7 ramps up to over 4ghz the laptop dual fans get loud and when updated to Win 10 version 2004 it threw too much heat to keep on my lap despite the dual fans running at the max. The proprietary video configuration has very few adjustable settings and doesn't make full use of the GTX 1650Ti. One RAM slot is hardwired and can't be changed. CD Mark showed disappointing results in the first sequential write benchmark but otherwise was decent.

Overall Review: Don't know why the OEMs are cheaping out the NVME drives in their new laptops by using slower drives that perform like QLC type SSDs instead of the faster TLCs. This is my experience with Dells, HPs, and now ASUS. Despite the ramping up of the dual fans and high heat issue above 4ghz on the i7, the VivoBook K571 is a compelling laptop that more than suits my needs and has an impressive quality display. Have not run any video benchmarks because I won't be gaming on this system.

Pros: Boots up in seconds! This machine is well built and stays cool.

Cons: Fans are noisy, comes with Asus programs and antivirus programs installed that pop-up all the time. Shouldn't be adds on a product I paid for.

Overall Review: Highly recommend the computer for engineering applications like 3d modeling/rendering and also would work for gaming.

Pros: Fast laptop and very smooth. 1Tb of HDD, can't go wrong with that.

Cons: I don't like that the USB ports are on the right side of the laptop because it interferes with the mouse.

Overall Review: I would recommend this laptop to people who are new to gaming on a laptop and would like to do other everyday tasks without breaking your wallet. I am very happy with this purchase. So far I've played Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, and Warzone and it runs those games with ease.

Overall Review: Purchased this as a replacement for an earlier VivoBook. I mostly do photo editing with it. Pretty fast and solid. Plenty of storage and enough RAM to handle very large images. I'm very satisfied.

Pros: Display is anti-glare matte but still looks great. Refresh rate is nice Keyboard keys feel great. great to have a num pad CPU and GPU combo are awesome for such a thin, lightweight machine

Cons: Fans get pretty loud when you are running gpu/cpu intensive software or multitasking

Overall Review: Would recommend for anyone looking for a mid-high performance machine that isn't huge, heavy, or screams "gamer"

Pros: Great packaging also the laptop rocks

Cons: kinda loud

Overall Review: great stuff, dude

Pros: I like the new MyAsus application that allows me to quickly change battery charge settings & screen display settings. About 1 lb lighter than my old ASUS laptop and it's noticeable The 150W charger is very compact and charges very fast. The fingerprint scanner is a nice new feature that opens every time for me. The cooling path is nice because the left side of the keyboard doesn't get hot like my old computer & it's nice and quite. I just hope the screen won't be negatively impacted over time with all the hot air consistently blowing on it.

Cons: There is a slight crunching noise when I move the mouse and when running programs I wasn't prepared for the screen to not open as far as my old one. I know it's not a 2-in-1 but I felt like I almost broke the screen the first time I opened it up because I expected it to open up as far as my old laptop. Just something to get used to. I still use the optical drive, so I will need to buy a USB optical drive, but just about every laptop today is like that.

Overall Review: Bought this to replace my 7 year old ASUS N56VJ-DH71 that had almost no issues during its tenure. So I knew my new computer had a lot to live up to. I wasn't looking for any more features than my old laptop, it just needed new hardware to make it run fast and normal again. This laptop has achieved that and it feels like my old laptop when I first bought it.

Overall Review: i wouls recomend to others
