ASUS Vivobook 17X 17.3ft FHD Laptop - Power and Portability

Our review of the ASUS Vivobook 17X finds a large-screen laptop aimed at power users who need a portable desktop replacement. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H and a roomy 40GB of DDR4 memory, which together deliver fast multitasking and responsiveness for demanding workflows. This unit was professionally upgraded, so buyers get expanded RAM and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD that make the Vivobook a practical choice for editors, developers, and anyone who needs sustained performance in a 17.3' full HD chassis.

Key Features

• Processor: The 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H provides strong single-thread and multi-thread performance for heavy applications and fast responsiveness under load.
• Memory: With 40GB DDR4 RAM (8GB onboard + 32GB SODIMM) the laptop handles aggressive multitasking, multiple browser tabs, and professional apps without frequent swapping.
• Storage: The 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD offers large, fast local storage for projects, games, and media with quick boot and load times.
• Display and mobility: The 17.3' FHD (1920x1080) panel gives a spacious workspace for spreadsheets and editing while the design remains relatively lightweight for a 17' laptop.
• Connectivity: USB 3.2 Type-C, HDMI and a bundled Dockztorm USB hub expand ports for external displays and peripherals, making desk and travel setups easier.
• Security and convenience: Integrated fingerprint and a backlit trackpad improve everyday security and usability in low light.

Who It's For

The Vivobook 17X is best for creative professionals, software developers, and power users who want a large screen with near desktop-level performance on the go. The upgraded 40GB of RAM and 1TB NVMe storage suit users who work with large files, virtual machines, or heavy browser sessions.

It is less well suited for those who prioritize battery life above raw performance or need an ultra-thin ultraportable; the 50 WHr battery and 3-cell design favor performance over maximum runtime. Gamers who demand a discrete GPU should also look elsewhere since this model uses Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics limit performance for demanding 3D games or GPU-accelerated rendering.
