    I've had it for a few months now, completely satisfied with its speed, I also installed Windows 11 IoT LTSC on it and it became even faster.

    At 750 euros that I bought it, I’m okay because it definitely needs at least a hard drive upgrade for games and another 16GB of RAM for later, maybe I rushed because my 12s had broken and... Acer that I had... immortal

    I have no words. AMAZING machine, I bought it for my son and I have checked it out a bit myself. Kudos to Asus, don't even think about it. Maybe the only downside is the battery, but that's how gaming laptops are. Personally, I have set it so the battery charges up to 80% to prolong its lifespan.

    Very fast, good brightness, and Windows 11 is good too, although I use Linux and don't know them well. But they seem fine. Logically, with Linux, the machine would go up another ten levels, but my son wants games, so for now it stays like this.

    I highly recommend it.

    Purchased on October 8, 2025 from a well-known chain with an offer from €999 to €879.
    I was between this and the MacBook Air M2 16GB/256GB at €999 but chose this because I already own the older but still capable MacBook Air with M1, which I use for external, simple use due to its great battery life.
    If you want great battery life for professional use like email, office, video calls, social media, and light on-the-go photo and video editing, the MacBook Air is the only way to go—there’s no competitor.

    But if you want a powerful portable system based on Intel/AMD (CISC x86-x64 technology) that will run x86_x64 applications and games on Windows and you don’t care much about battery life, the Asus Vivobook V3607VU-RP038W Laptop 16’’ has cutting-edge features: the Intel Core 5 210H at 10nm, two DDR5 5600MHz slots (one occupied with 16GB, one free for upgrade to 32GB), the powerful nVidia RTX 4050 6GB laptop edition graphics card with a 65W TDP (which approaches the performance of a desktop AMD RX 6600 graphics card), the 512GB PCIe gen 4 NVME from Western Digital, and a Type C port (which also supports charging from 45-100W Power Delivery from a Type C charger), the backlit keyboard, a screen with average colors but 144Hz refresh rate, and good build quality—even though it’s plastic, it’s sturdy and relatively light for a gaming laptop. It will leave you completely satisfied for editing and gaming at 1080p in this price category for laptops.
    It comes with a large power supply/charger at 20V/150W, but it’s not Type C—it’s a weird charging plug.

    Other positives are the impressively large trackpad and the gestures it supports, the thin bezels, the cover-switch on the Web Camera, the factory encryption of the Hard Drive (Windows BitLocker is enabled), the MyASUS app activated the 2-year warranty, and it received a BIOS Update notification.
    Note: The Intel Core 5 210H is almost the same as the i5 13420H but is a newer processor—in some benchmarks, the 210H is slightly better, and the RTX 4050 supports 194 AI TOPS. Since the laptop also has the AI Copilot key on its keyboard, it may support AI in the future—not important to me, but good to have.

    -NEGATIVES.
    We have a WD SN5000S SDEQNSJ-512GB NVME drive, which, although very fast PCIe gen 4 for 512GB, uses Kioxia’s 3D QLC technology, not even TLC, so it has a theoretical write/erase limit of only 150TBW. Also, it lacks DRAM Cache and only has a 64MB SLC pseudo cache—they could have put something more reliable in such a machine. Of course, I’m used to Samsung MLC drives in my desktops.
    Negative is also the lack of an Ethernet port for a gaming laptop, but this can be fixed with a Type C to Ethernet adapter.
    I would have liked two more Type C ports, as that’s the future.

    A BIG NEGATIVE, not of the laptop but of Windows 11, is the mandatory connection to Outlook and so many updates that made the machine, with such powerful specs, freeze and take over an hour to reach the desktop on first power on.
    I am a certified computer and network technician and dared to reset everything clean from the beginning. I have worked on Macs and all operating systems, using each for different purposes.
    Generally, the machine freezes a lot during Windows Updates, and the processor, though powerful, constantly runs at 20~25% with 230 processes, even at idle, to the point that I did a clean format of Windows 11 Home 25H2 and the problem was fixed. The machine now runs fast and smoothly, Windows updates work normally, and Windows activation was automatic from the motherboard ID—everything is fine.
    However, formatting had difficulties—it can’t be done the usual way. You need to download and extract the VMD driver to the Windows installation USB because Windows setup doesn’t recognize the drive or the trackpad. You must use a wired mouse and have the Wi-Fi card driver on a USB to run it with Win+E, as Windows 11 requires internet to set up Outlook (I didn’t bypass with Rufus because I want the original setup to be intact, as the machine supports 11 without bypasses and came out of the box clean. If you don’t care, disable everything with Rufus for peace of mind, but you may lose some future updates that use TPM or have update/security/BitLocker encryption issues).
    The end result after all this: the machine at idle runs at 1% CPU, silent, and everything is smooth with the latest Windows and graphics card updates.
    MyASUS was reinstalled for the account where the warranty is registered. If MacBooks are considered expensive, think that they’re worth it IF you WON’T run Windows programs and games that only run on x86_x64 processors and if you can afford it, switch to Mac with Apple Silicon RISC ARM technology and you’ll see how much their price reflects not just hardware quality but also great battery life and software quality (iOS and MacOS), ease and immediacy of use (they make you love them). On the other hand, Windows 11 is truly the worst thing Microsoft has released—a chaotic mess, but a necessary evil for the specific uses I mentioned.

    Of course, I’ll add a 16GB RAM stick for a total of 32GB RAM because 16GB is now for basic use; a machine like this needs 32GB. Luckily, I got the 16GB RAM for €40 because now it’s over €180. AI has caused a crisis in all memory and SSD prices….

    We’ll see what else comes up—good purchase, but it was a hassle.

    Update January 30, 2026.
    After intensive use for photo and video editing and conversions (1080p @ 60 fps / 2K @ 30fps, AVC, HVEC) in demanding programs (Premiere, PowerDirector, Handbrake) with many filters and effects, the laptop combines CPU+iGPU+dGPU running together by default without me changing anything, with excellent performance. With 32GB RAM, we have a relatively fast portable system for demanding projects. Also, performance drops a bit when running on battery, as expected, but it’s not a problem.
    In Cinebench 2026, which I consider heavy, it scored 4 times higher than the Apple M2’s integrated graphics.

    The NVME drive has some lags as I mentioned above—it’s the weak link, but in the future (when prices drop or I find something), it can be replaced with a 2TB, and I’ll make it external for fast backups. I haven’t tested it in games yet since I play from desktop, but its time will come.

    But if you want a powerful portable system based on Intel/AMD (CISC x86-x64 technology) that will run x86_x64 applications and games on Windows and you don’t care much about battery life, the Asus Vivobook V3607VU-RP038W Laptop 16’’ has cutting-edge features: the Intel Core 5 210H at 10nm, two DDR5 5600MHz slots (one occupied with 16GB, one free for upgrade to 32GB), the powerful nVidia RTX 4050 6GB laptop edition graphics card with a 65W TDP (which approaches the performance of a desktop AMD RX 6600 graphics card), the 512GB PCIe gen 4 NVME from Western Digital, and a Type C port (which also supports charging from 45-100W Power Delivery from a Type C charger), the backlit keyboard, a screen with average colors but 144Hz refresh rate, and good build quality—even though it’s plastic, it’s sturdy and relatively light for a gaming laptop. It will leave you completely satisfied for editing and gaming at 1080p in this price category for laptops.
    It comes with a large power supply/charger at 20V/150W, but it’s not Type C—it’s a weird charging plug.

    Other positives are the impressively large trackpad and the gestures it supports, the thin bezels, the cover-switch on the Web Camera, the factory encryption of the Hard Drive (Windows BitLocker is enabled), the MyASUS app activated the 2-year warranty, and it received a BIOS Update notification.
    Note: The Intel Core 5 210H is almost the same as the i5 13420H but is a newer processor—in some benchmarks, the 210H is slightly better, and the RTX 4050 supports 194 AI TOPS. Since the laptop also has the AI Copilot key on its keyboard, it may support AI in the future—not important to me, but good to have.

    -NEGATIVES.
    We have a WD SN5000S SDEQNSJ-512GB NVME drive, which, although very fast PCIe gen 4 for 512GB, uses Kioxia’s 3D QLC technology, not even TLC, so it has a theoretical write/erase limit of only 150TBW. Also, it lacks DRAM Cache and only has a 64MB SLC pseudo cache—they could have put something more reliable in such a machine. Of course, I’m used to Samsung MLC drives in my desktops.
    Negative is also the lack of an Ethernet port for a gaming laptop, but this can be fixed with a Type C to Ethernet adapter.
    I would have liked two more Type C ports, as that’s the future.

    A BIG NEGATIVE, not of the laptop but of Windows 11, is the mandatory connection to Outlook and so many updates that made the machine, with such powerful specs, freeze and take over an hour to reach the desktop on first power on.
    I am a certified computer and network technician and dared to reset everything clean from the beginning. I have worked on Macs and all operating systems, using each for different purposes.
    Generally, the machine freezes a lot during Windows Updates, and the processor, though powerful, constantly runs at 20~25% with 230 processes, even at idle, to the point that I did a clean format of Windows 11 Home 25H2 and the problem was fixed. The machine now runs fast and smoothly, Windows updates work normally, and Windows activation was automatic from the motherboard ID—everything is fine.
    However, formatting had difficulties—it can’t be done the usual way. You need to download and extract the VMD driver to the Windows installation USB because Windows setup doesn’t recognize the drive or the trackpad. You must use a wired mouse and have the Wi-Fi card driver on a USB to run it with Win+E, as Windows 11 requires internet to set up Outlook (I didn’t bypass with Rufus because I want the original setup to be intact, as the machine supports 11 without bypasses and came out of the box clean. If you don’t care, disable everything with Rufus for peace of mind, but you may lose some future updates that use TPM or have update/security/BitLocker encryption issues).
    The end result after all this: the machine at idle runs at 1% CPU, silent, and everything is smooth with the latest Windows and graphics card updates.
    MyASUS was reinstalled for the account where the warranty is registered. If MacBooks are considered expensive, think that they’re worth it IF you WON’T run Windows programs and games that only run on x86_x64 processors and if you can afford it, switch to Mac with Apple Silicon RISC ARM technology and you’ll see how much their price reflects not just hardware quality but also great battery life and software quality (iOS and MacOS), ease and immediacy of use (they make you love them). On the other hand, Windows 11 is truly the worst thing Microsoft has released—a chaotic mess, but a necessary evil for the specific uses I mentioned.

    Of course, I’ll add a 16GB RAM stick for a total of 32GB RAM because 16GB is now for basic use; a machine like this needs 32GB. Luckily, I got the 16GB RAM for €40 because now it’s over €180. AI has caused a crisis in all memory and SSD prices….

    We’ll see what else comes up—good purchase, but it was a hassle.

    Update January 30, 2026.
    After intensive use for photo and video editing and conversions (1080p @ 60 fps / 2K @ 30fps, AVC, HVEC) in demanding programs (Premiere, PowerDirector, Handbrake) with many filters and effects, the laptop combines CPU+iGPU+dGPU running together by default without me changing anything, with excellent performance. With 32GB RAM, we have a relatively fast portable system for demanding projects. Also, performance drops a bit when running on battery, as expected, but it’s not a problem.
    In Cinebench 2026, which I consider heavy, it scored 4 times higher than the Apple M2’s integrated graphics.

    The NVME drive has some lags as I mentioned above—it’s the weak link, but in the future (when prices drop or I find something), it can be replaced with a 2TB, and I’ll make it external for fast backups. I haven’t tested it in games yet since I play from desktop, but its time will come.

  • I've had it for a few months now, completely satisfied with its speed, I also installed Windows 11 IoT LTSC on it and it became even faster.

  • At 750 euros that I bought it, I’m okay because it definitely needs at least a hard drive upgrade for games and another 16GB of RAM for later, maybe I rushed because my 12s had broken and... Acer that I had... immortal

  • I have no words. AMAZING machine, I bought it for my son and I have checked it out a bit myself. Kudos to Asus, don't even think about it. Maybe the only downside is the battery, but that's how gaming laptops are. Personally, I have set it so the battery charges up to 80% to prolong its lifespan.

    Very fast, good brightness, and Windows 11 is good too, although I use Linux and don't know them well. But they seem fine. Logically, with Linux, the machine would go up another ten levels, but my son wants games, so for now it stays like this.

    I highly recommend it.
