Reviews for the Asus VivoBook 17 M712-WH34
Source: PC Mag
Archive.org versionCOVID-19 complications and parts shortages have wreaked havoc on the availability and prices of budget laptops, so if you're wearily sorting through the meager options for an inexpensive, big-screen notebook, the Asus VivoBook 17 M712 ($550 at Amazon.com) might be a sight for your sore eyes. Yes, it uses an older third-generation instead of new fifth-generation AMD Ryzen processor, but it ticks nearly every other box. A stylish silver chassis, a comfortable keyboard, and just enough power for everyday computing tasks make this 17.3-inch rig one of the best large laptops you can buy if you're on a strict budget.

AMD Vega 3: Integrated graphics card of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 3 CUs (= 192 shaders) and a clock of up to 1200 MHz.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

R3 3250U: An entry-level, dual-core APU designed for use in affordable laptops. The Ryzen features two Zen cores clocked at 2.6 GHz to 3.5 GHz (SMT support is enabled for a total of 4 threads) and a Vega series graphics adapter. These specifications are similar to the older 3200U, with the higher peak operating temperature of the latter (105 °C versus 95 °C) being the only difference.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
