Reviews for the Asus Vivobook 16X K3605ZU

100% Asus Vivobook 16X (K3605) review: The Swiss army knife of laptops
Source: Expert Reviews English
What all of this adds up to is that the Asus Vivobook 16X is a seriously capable general-purpose laptop, that can handle everything from day-to-day PC drudgery to serious gaming via watching Netflix or listening to Spotify. The robust, stay-clean design and excellent battery life are cherries on an already rather scrumptious cake. To find fault with the 16X, I’m reduced to mentioning the lack of a second SSD slot, and small issues with thermal throttling.

16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
