ASUS Vivobook 16X (M1603) review – a product with a high value and low price

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo a total of 10 Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool.

Here, we see a 50Wh battery pack. It lasts for about 10 hours of Web browsing, or more than 8 hours of video playback. To take it out, unplug the battery connector, and remove the 5 Phillips-head screws.

This machine has 8GB of DDR4 RAM soldered to the motherboard. It can be expanded by the single SODIMM slot. Storage-wise, you get one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which only runs at Gen 3 speeds.

Interestingly, the cooling comprises two heat pipes, two heat sinks, and one fan. In addition, the VRMs are being cooled by a heat spreader.

Driver from the Asus website does not fix the issue with WLAN! Wi-Fi still not working after installing Win 11 and official drivers

I put a new SSD and when formatting with Windows 10 the wifi did not work, so I put a USB to Ethernet adapter and with Windows updates the correct driver was installed, maybe with Win11 it is the same.

Cool review guys 🙂

With the display profiles you are selling. Do they expand the coverage of SRGB at all? As it doesn’t say exactly how they differ except the de

sRGB coverage is a limitation of the hardware. The only thing calibration can do is balance the display if it is skewed towards a certain colour.
