Reviews for the Asus X570ZD

80% Asus VivoBook X570ZD / K570ZD review (AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Nvidia GTX 1050)
Source: Ultrabook Review
This VivoBook is a hard sell. On one hand it's rather unique, as it combines a low-power CPU with mid-tier Nvidia dedicated graphics, and it performs well in most situations and doesn't throttle in games. On the other it's just average in terms of build, looks, screen quality and even typing experience, although I find this a good match for my style. Pricing is going to make it or break it though, as Asus also offers an Intel Core U based model with the exact same traits, quirks and kind of GPU, and this one needs to be more affordable in order to compete and overcome the flaws associated with the Ryzen platform. Read on for the whole story.

80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
