Performance, autonomy of the Asus VivoBook S17 S712FA-AU552T
The Asus VivoBook S17 S712FA-AU552T is for those looking for a relatively compact and lightweight 17-inch laptop for everyday use.
It benefits from hybrid storage combining a fast 256 GB SSD with a 1000 GB hard drive for a total capacity of 1.2 TB above average. In practice the SSD is intended to house the main software in addition to the system, the rest taking place on the hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, this relatively light thin PC is much more responsive and fluid than if it were equipped with a simple hard drive. This notably benefits from much faster start / stop and launch of applications.
The SSD is therefore welcome on a daily basis to support the heart of this computer which in itself delivers good general performance capable of satisfying many users.
It consists of a Quad Core i7-10510U low-consumption Comet Lake processor and 8 GB of RAM.
Keep in mind, however, that to regularly carry out heavy work in processor resources, it is better to turn to a PC based on a non-low power processor.
As no dedicated GPU is on board, this laptop is not designed to play and more generally to perform heavy graphics processing. We can nevertheless with this Asus watch photos and videos of course, thanks to the modest benefits of the Intel UHD 620 solution integrated into the Quad Core i7 Comet Lake.
Finally in terms of autonomy, put on about 6 hours of battery operation in light use for this computer with a comfortable 17 inch format whose finesse and controlled weight facilitate transport.
