Bottom Line
If you are looking for a gaming laptop disguised as a premium workstation-type laptop, then the sleek, stylish ASUS VivoBook M580VD-EB76 should not be overlooked.
The ASUS VivoBook M580VD-EB76 15.6-inch gaming laptop has received positive reviews for its powerful Intel Core i7-7700HQ quad-core processor that’s backed by 16GB DDR4 RAM, its decent GeForce GTX 1050 4GB NVIDIA graphics card and its fast 250GB SSD. Furthermore, it is solidly built, and it can easily double up as a working laptop thanks to its sleek, portable design. Lastly, its sound quality is said to be good for a laptop. However, some criticism was directed towards its cooling, with some finding that it runs hot when carrying out heavy tasks or when gaming. The screen is a TN display, meaning the colors can look washed out depending on your viewing angles and the battery life is poor. Lastly, the additional 1TB HDD is a 5400RPM mechanical hard drive, which is slow.
