60% Asus Vivobook 17X review: a large screen for cheap
Source: Digital Trends English
The Vivobook 17X is a lot like the Asus Vivobook S 14 Flip: it’s far more attractive at its lower price points than at the $1,000 configuration that I reviewed. If you’re on a tight budget but need a large display, then the Vivobook 17X is a decent offering. Its display isn’t nearly good enough nor is its build solid enough at its higher price. I don’t recommend the review unit, but the Vivobook 17X is worth a look at $730. Keep in mind — you really have to value that large screen, because otherwise, you’ll find plenty of better options for smaller laptops, even at that price.

68.25%: 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.
