ASUS Vivobook K570ZD Casual Gaming Laptop, 15.6” Full HD IPS Level, AMD Quad Core Ryzen 5 2500U CPU, GeForce GTX 1050, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Fingerprint Reader, Backlit KB, Windows 10 – K570ZD-ES51

I bought two of these laptops, one for myself, one for my daughter, to be entry-level to moderate gaming machines. Nothing extreme. I wasn't looking to run the latest AAA games in 4K on ultra settings or anything. Just some older games at 1080p at medium settings. My 10-year-old gaming laptop bit the dust last year, and I just haven't gotten around to replacing it. It was an Asus as well, and it lasted forever, so I naturally wanted to continue investing in a company that seems to make quality machines and components.Well, after weeks of searching, reviewing, contemplating and figuring out a budget to get two gaming quality laptops, I chose this model. It was reasonably priced and had a video card that could handle what we were going to throw at it. Everything ran great. She's loving hers. It does everything she wants it to and more. I didn't want a 15.6" laptop, but I settled so I could afford two.I have to admit that I'm impressed and have no regrets. All the games I want to play run smoothly, much better than they ever did on my old laptop (G72GX). This laptop runs quiet and doesn't get very hot under load, unlike my last beast.The only issue that I have is that this machine had two columns of keys that worked intermittently from the moment I first booted up. I thought it may be a driver issue with mine and hoped that after updates it would clear up. Now, they're completely non-functional. My daughter has had no such problems with hers. She's on it 8 hours a day since it's summer. I've also looked at all the reviews for this laptop, so I'm hoping that maybe I just happened to get the lemon out of the bunch and it isn't something that will go wrong with my daughter's laptop too. I'm currently seeking to exchange mine for another one. I love what I got for the price and can't imagine going through the headache and hassle of constantly comparing and shopping again to find something with at least these specs and still in my price range.Performance-wise, this laptop has some real zip to it for normal, run-of-the-mill tasks and even moderate gaming. Don't expect it to dazzle you with the latest games, but it can handle older games like Witcher 2 or World of Warcraft on moderate settings with ease.Aside from my keyboard issue, the only problem I have is that it is extremely light. My last laptop was a 17.3" monster that seemed to weigh 10 pounds before also including the power brick. Power brick included, this machine seems to weigh less than half that. I'm okay with that exchange.If it weren't for my keyboard issue, I would easily rate this computer 5 stars. Because it just seems that I had bad luck, I'm giving it 4.

This computer runs well -- However -- the Realtek 8822BE Wi-Fi is an unfortunate choice... as of 4/6/19 any of the 2024 series of drivers will result in frequent connection stalls, requiring a reconnect. This is affecting every vendor using the 8822BE including Lenovo and HP. There is a reason that ASUS still posts the 2023 series of drivers, problem is that Microsoft will come along and update them through Windows Update, so you have to install the 2023 series and then disable driver updates from Microsoft. If you have Win10 Pro you can use Group Policy editor to just disable driver updates for Wi-Fi.The driver downloads for this model at the ASUS website list a bunch of Wi-Fi drivers with Intel at the top... don't assume you will get a model with Intel.

I've had this PC for over 2 years and it is still going strong. It has worked well for gaming on low-medium resolutions. There is an additional RAM slot, so I upgraded to 16 GB and also added another SSD, as the M2 SSD this laptop comes with is only 256 GB. It's a bit of a pain to upgrade as you need to take the whole thing apart. The upgrade slots are on the back of the motherboard, but there are many video tutorials available.Overall, it's a great PC for casual gaming, but I would recommend adding an SSD and upgrading the RAM for best performance. The current price of $900 is a bit high, but that's reflective of the present shortage of parts, including GPUs.

A very solid buy for the price, but if you are looking to use it all day for productivity, make sure to disable the graphics card because it eats up the battery fairly quickly. If you are just looking for a decent, portable gaming device, then look no further because that's what this device does best.

This laptop was good for a little bit, but it just ages so fast. After 2 months, it acted like it was 4 years old. I had to fresh install windows twice in order to fix this. My graphics card also came disconnected from the computer, which made me have to take it apart and connect it again. Don't expect much from this.

I own a managed service company and have over 20 years in IT and even more in PC gaming.We use Asus for workstations at several sites and have hundreds vivo minis deployed and managed.When I saw this notebook, i picked up 2 for my team members. I will be getting more of these and have recommended them several times already.I went with the AMD Ryzen 5 version with the Nvidia 1050 GPU.We upgraded the SSD and doubled the RAM. These units are awesome for mobile users who work on tech and they offer a solid gaming experience for off hours or down time.Unbeatable for the money....and they are now $100.00 cheaper than when we got them.Asus made another great product!

I am so tired of slow laptops. It is so confusing the RAM, processor, HDD or whatever else, wireless card types, 5G capable or not. Bought a laptop for $450 and it was really slow to start and to download. Returned it. My son said 'get a gaming computer'. It will be fast. I don't do any gaming whatsoever , but this laptop was listed as good for gaming. Well it was good advice. All the elements came together and I do not need to understand all the details and just enjoy the speed. This is an awesome laptop and super fast to start up, stream and download. No regrets whatsoever!!

Recieved laptop and keys 6, 7,H,J,N,M are not working. Called for replacement and now I have to wait for a repair. It's under warranty but very frustrating to have just recieved a defective laptop only to be told you have to ship it to be repaired and not replaced. "I JUST RECEIVED It!"

Muy buena compra, excelente computadora en calidad precio, la recomiendo ampliamente
