ASUS Vivobook 17 F1704 (X1704) review – it’s comfortable during load and has big 17.3-inch panel


Some people need a big-screen laptop for a daily driver. In this case, a gaming notebook is an unnecessary and expensive buy. You don’t need so much power for just browsing the Web and watching videos. The ASUS Vivobook 17 F1704 (X1704) is a machine that is suitable for light tasks.

It comes with efficient Alder Lake-U or Raptor Lake-U CPU options that pack enough power even for playing light games. At the same time, these chips are much more battery-friendly compared to the P and H-series processors. The main event here is the display. This device is a bit more expensive than its 15.6-inch sibling (the ASUS Vivobook 15 F1504 (X1504)) but it has a 17.3″ panel which is a desirable feature for users who are consuming a lot of content like movies, social media, etc. Speaking of which, there are two display options – one 1080p IPS panel and one 900p TN model. Yikes, avoid the latter unless your budget isn’t super tight!

With that aside, this laptop has an antibacterial coating which slowly becomes something like a trademark for ASUS. The device is MIL-STD-810H certified so it should survive in harsh conditions, at least on paper.
