HP Envy x360 review: a compact 2-in-1 that tries to do too much, and mostly succeedsedit
“Intel inside” has become more than a marketing slogan. While the tagline was created back in 1991, it still seems to work well as a seal of approval for deciding which PC or laptop to buy. That’s not to say that the California-based chipmaker doesn’t face any competition (of course, on the mobile side, Intel has left the turf open for the likes of Qualcomm and MediaTek). AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) has been trying to rival Intel’s chips for a long time, and its latest Ryzen processors comes quite close. Perhaps that’s why quite a few laptop makers are opting for AMD’s Ryzen chips.

ASUS Vivo Book X505 – Full Review , Specifications , Performance and Pricingedit
Now let’s get to the real meat of the ASUS Vivo Book X505. The machine we received for review is powered by the Intel’s 6th generation Core i5 clocked at 2.0GHz with AMD Ryzen 5 2500U. There is also 8GB of RAM onboard and felt like a little on the lower side. The motherboard on the X505 features a singular RAM DIMM and allowing you to upgrade to 8GB of RAM. Our review unit also had a 1TB internal drive spinning at 5400rpm, but there is an m.2 slot on the motherboard which will allow you to use an NVMe based SSD (max 256GB) to speed up the system.
