Although we didn't test this exact exact model version, in our Asus VivoBook 15 review, we praised its handsome design, comfortable keyboard, and great audio. The laptop we tested had the same Ryzen 7 CPU and 12GB of RAM combo as the VivoBook 17 in this deal. In one test, we had 15 to 25 Google Chrome tabs open with a few of them running videos while editing documents and the VivoBook's performance remained solid.
As for ports, the Asus VivoBook 17 affords you a broad selection. It has USB 2.0 Type-A ports, a USB Type-C port, USB 3.1 port, an HDMI port. There's also a microSD reader slot and a 3.5mm audio jack on board. Weighing in at 5 pounds and 16.00 x 10.00 x 0.8 inches, the VivoBook 17 is lighter than the Dell XPS 17 (5.5 pounds, 14.7 x 9.8 x 0.8 inches) and the HP Envy 17t (6 pounds, 15.7 x 10.2 x 0.8 inches).
At $200 off the VivoBook is an excellent value if you're looking for an everyday laptop for work, school, and multimedia.
