Reviews for the Asus VivoBook S15 S510UQ-BQ178T

Review: Asus VivoBook S15 S510UQ
Source: Hexus English

On the face of it, the Asus VivoBook S15 has the makings of a solid mid-range laptop. For anyone upgrading from an older machine, the attractions include a 15.6in IPS display with slim bezels and wide viewing angles, a 7th Gen Intel Core processor, SSD storage, USB Type-C, and a form factor that is thin, light and easy on the eye.

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
