Reviews for the Asus VivoBook 17 S712UA-AU084T

76% Asus Vivobook 17 Ryzen 5 Hexa Core-5500U (2021) Review: Size Above All
Source: Think Digit
The ASUS VivoBook 17 is a laptop capable of performing daily productivity tasks and some light gaming. Its 17.3-inch FHD display combined with a loudspeaker system will fit well in your workflow and can offer a great viewing experience as well. However, the laptop's underutilized keypad real estate and weight can be a problem for some users. Further, if you're willing to settle for a smaller screen, you can also find a similarly specced laptop at a more affordable price.

70% ASUS VivoBook 17 review: large-screened workhorse
Source: 91mobiles
The VivoBook 17 is quite a compelling choice for casual users, college-going students, or even professionals who don’t mind the extra weight, but would like to make use of the expansive screen real estate. The large size of the laptop could deter potential buyers who value portability over anything else, and it isn’t meant for gamers either. That said, it should suffice if your work involves moderate day-to-day tasks. If these are the criteria for your purchase, then the VivoBook 17 should make for a reasonable option worth considering.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

73%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
