MagyarAsus VivoBook 17 (F712JA) review: Affordable 17-inch laptop with passive cooling
The VivoBook 17 belongs to Asus' entry-level series among the multimedia and office laptops. With its Ice Lake CPU and the label F712JA, it represents the successor to the VivoBook 17 F712FA equipped with Intel's Comet Lake processor. Our configuration corresponds to the highest equipment version from the manufacturer: 16 GB of RAM, a 512-GB PCIe-3.0 M.2 SSD, FHD IPS panel, and Intel Core-i7 processor. The price is about 799 Euros (~$843).
The most affordable configuration with an Intel Pentium Gold 7505, 8 GB of RAM, 256-GB SSD, and HD+ screen is available for half that price (399 Euros, ~$421). AMD versions with Ryzen 7 5700U (VivoBook S17 S712) or Ryzen 5 5500U (VivoBook 17 M712) are also available for 799 Euros (~$843), but they are much harder to find, since those are probably international versions - with the advantage that they also offer a keyboard illumination.
If you want to upgrade the RAM or install the OS yourself, you may also be able to find models with a Core-i5 CPU, 4 GB of RAM, and without the OS for about 200-300 Euros less (~$211-317) from time to time. There is also the VivoBook S17 with Tiger Lake processors that offers a battery with a 50% larger capacity (47 Wh). We compare the VivoBook 17 with the competitors: the HP Pavilion 17, the Lenovo V15, the Acer Aspire 5, and the Lenovo IdeaPad 3.

Case and Equipment: Asus laptop with USB-C and Wi-Fi 6
The matte silver case is made from plastic and can be easily warped. While this doesn't lead to any image distortions, there is some unpleasant creaking, even if you only hold up the laptop on one corner, which raises some questions about the quality. On the other hand, the hinges are tight and the display wobbles only slightly. This also means that the lid cannot be opened with one hand. The workmanship is otherwise free from flaws.
After taking off the bottom plate, which is easy despite there being many clamps, you can perform some maintenance: The RAM, M.2 PCIe-3.0 SSD, Wi-Fi module, and the small 32-Wh battery can be replaced and the fan can be cleaned. It is noticeable that the latter only provides fresh air to the case, so that the CPU itself is cooled (semi-)passively - more on that in the Performance section. There is a 2.5-inch HDD slot with a connection to the mainboard, but you will need the corresponding cable and insertion frame.
Most of the connections are on the right case side, so that any cables might get in the way of mouse operation. The left side houses the USB-2.0 ports, and the right side offers HDMI 1.4, a µSD card reader, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s), 1x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, and the audio combo port. Charging via USB-C is not supported.
Interestingly, we measure transfer rates of about 10 Gbit/s with the USB-C 3.2 Gen 1. With Intel's AX201, Wi-Fi 6 is onboard, and the transfer rates of about 1 Gbit/s are good but don't correspond to the potential of the module. The µSD card reader places in the middle of the test field with a slow 70 MB/s, while the 720p camera is abysmal.
Due to the small bezel on the bottom, the 17-inch laptop is not very deep, having the smallest footprint among the 17-inchers in our test field. However, at 406 mm (~16 in) it is also wider than many 17-inch gaming laptops with an ultra-slim frame. The weight of only 2.2 kg (~4.85 lb), which is extremely light for this device class, is only achieved by compromising with a low case stability, weak cooling system, and small battery.

Input Devices: Keyboard with weak feedback and no illumination
At 15 x 15 mm (~0.6 x 0.6 in), the keys are slightly small. They offer a short stroke (1.4 mm, ~0.06 in) and fairly indistinct feedback and are easy to trigger. At least, the pressure point is noticeable, which means that after a short time of familiarization, fast typing is also possible. The Enter and Space keys are of the rattling kind, and many keys are reduced in size.
The layout is otherwise good, but the gray labels on the silver keys make them very hard to read, unless the light conditions are ideal. In this model, the keys also are not illuminated and the same also goes for the European market in general. When applying some force, the keyboard can be pressed down, but this doesn't impact the typing experience.
The slightly small touchpad (10.5 x 7.4 mm, ~4.1 x 2.9 in) has good sliding characteristics. The integrated mouse keys have a short stroke and offer little resistance.
A sharp display for the Asus VivoBook 17
The Asus VivoBook 17 offers a 17.3-inch IPS display with a FHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels). The only available alternative is an HD+ panel with outdated TN technology.
We already know the matte BOE NV173FHM-N49 panel from the predecessors, which is the reason why our measurements are very similar: with 263 nits it is now only 1 nit brighter than the VivoBook 17 F712FA. The competitors are brighter by about 20 to 40 nits. The contrast worsened from 1200:1 to 900:1. The IdeaPad 3, on the other hand, offers a contrast ratio of 1400:1, which is very good for IPS displays.
Subjectively, the display is sharp and clear, since most of the time you won't sit as close to such a large laptop as you would to a 13-inch laptop. The clearly illuminated subpixels also contribute to the quality of the image output.
However, there are still some visible faults in the brightness distribution that will be noticeable in dark film or game scenes. On the other hand, we didn't see an PWM flickering. In our comparison, the best response time for gaming is delivered by the Acer Aspire 5 with dGPU.

The matte panel benefits when using the VivoBook 17 outdoors, but the low brightness of 263 nits is insufficient to also allow working in sunny spaces. As typical for IPS displays, the viewing angles are at a high level.
Performance: Intel Ice Lake CPU with semi-passive cooling
A typical usage scenario for the Asus VivoBook 17 is using it as a multimedia and office laptop at the desk at home. Our configuration with an Intel Core i7-1065G7, 16 GB of dual-channel RAM, Intel's Ice Lake iGPU, and a 512-GB SSD is sufficient for these tasks. Older games can run at low detail settings.
Additional models come with a Core i5 CPU or AMD Ryzen-5000 (international market). A successor with a Core i7-1165G7 is also available.
Processor
The Intel Core i7-1065G7 with four cores is generally sufficient for office and Internet tasks.
In the 30-minute Cinebench-R15 loop, the CPU initially starts with everything it's got (3.5 GHz). After one minute, the clock speed drops to 2.3 GHz and is maintained at that level, even if the CPU performs some short boosts from time to time. In the beginning, the power consumption is 31 watts. It is 15 watts on average, which corresponds to the performance limit adjustment by Asus.
After briefly rising to 90 °C (194 °F), the core temperatures remain constant at 85 °C (185 °F). The reason for the relatively high temperatures in such a large case at a consumption of only 15 watts can be found in the passively cooled CPU, while the fans only provide cool air to the case.
The limitation to 15 watts leads to the reduction of points in Cinebench R15 from 580 in the beginning to 490 from the third run and finally to a constant 475 points. The fan doesn't start immediately, since it is probably controlled more by the case temperature inside, instead of the CPU temperatures. The fan only revs up after one minute, after the CPU is already throttled from 25 down to 15 watts.
The result is that a Core i3 is only surpassed by little, while even the predecessor performed around 30% faster and a corresponding Tiger Lake-CPU is 60% faster. A Ryzen 7 5700U with eight cores should offer at least three times the performance. In battery operation, the performance is reduced by about 10%, since the CPU performance limit drops to a maximum of 10 watts in terms of the consumption.

System Performance
The system is fast and responsive. Programs start up without any significant delays and surfing with several browser tabs also works without any problems, even if one of them plays a 4K video via YouTube.
AMD is again significantly faster here.

DPC Latencies
According to LatencyMon, the delay of inputs is high, and the system is therefore not suited for real-time processing of audio and video. The responsibility for this lies with the device kernel mode driver from Windows.
4K videos are reproduced on YouTube with a medium CPU load of 25% and a GPU load of 46% without dropping any single frames.

Storage Solution
The speeds of the 512 GB M.2-2280 NVMe SSD remain even below PCIe-3.0 level. You can upgrade to a hard drive that is twice as fast.
The competitors and the predecessor offer similar transfer rates. The 2.5-inch HDD slot can be used with a corresponding cable and insertion frame.
