15.6 type notebook "ASUS X570 ZD" of about 130,000 yen with Ryzen / GTX 1050 installed
The X570ZD introduced this time is a 15.6-inch notebook PC equipped with Ryzen 7 2700 U or Ryzen 5 2500 U, and in the notebook PC equipped with "Ryzen 7 2800 H" and "Ryzen 5 2600 H" for mobile of TDP 45W announced in September. not. (See AMD, TDP 45W mobile "Ryzen 7 2800 H" and "Ryzen 5 2600 H").
There is no doubt that the latter has higher performance in terms of processor specifications, but considering that the TDP is 45W and many notebook PCs use the TDP 15W processor these days, it is difficult to put them together in a chassis of the same level. , The former of TDP 15W is easier to make as before.
Instead, it has not only the "Radeon Vega 8 Graphics" with a built-in processor, but also the "GeForce GTX 1050" with Pascal architecture as a discrete GPU. With CUDA core 640, 2GB GDDR5, memory clock 7Gbps, boost clock 1,455MHz, it is a reasonable performance for a discrete GPU installed in a notebook PC.
As mentioned above, the XD570ZD has two types of Ryzen-equipped models, but I received a lower model of the Ryzen 5 2500U. The main specifications are as shown in the table below.

A 300,000-pixel webcam on the center of the panel. The panel has a slightly different design, with the non-glossy hairline diagonally on the left and right and horizontal in the center. The battery is a built-in, non-detachable lock port, USB 2.0 x 2, audio input / output. The panel has a maximum power input at this angle, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI, USB 3.0 Type-C, microSDXC slot The back side has a speaker with a mesh next to the rubber feet on the front left and right. There is no small panel that can access memory etc. The keyboard is backlit and has a Japanese layout with 10 keys. The touchpad is a single plate type without buttons. There is a fingerprint authentication sensor on the upper right. The key pitch is actually about 19mm. The backlight of the keyboard can be adjusted in 4 steps. The size of the AC adapter is about 160 x 75 x 250mm (same as above), and the weight is 441g, which is large and heavy. The output is a thin housing for the 19V / 6.32A15.6 type.Green is the accent color including the logoThe housing is basically non-metal and does not have a high-class feel, but the coloring is mainly black with green accents, and the top plate has a hairline that is slanted on the left and right and horizontal in the center. ing. Since it is a 15.6 type and weighs about 2 kg, it is heavy when lifted, but it seems that it is mainly used for indoor movement, so it should not be a problem.
The front is a 300,000-pixel Web camera on the center of the panel. Lock port on the left side, USB 2.0 x 2, audio input / output. Power input, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI, USB 3.0 Type-C, microSDXC slots are located on the right side. The back is a speaker with a mesh next to the rubber feet on the front left and right. There is no small panel that can access memory etc. The battery is built-in and cannot be attached or detached.
The attached AC adapter is about 160 x 75 x 250 mm (width x depth x height) and weighs 441 g, which is large and heavy. The output is 19V / 6.32A.
The 15.6-inch display is non-glossy, easy to see, and has good brightness, color, contrast, and viewing angle. In the case of non-glossy panels, the primary colors tend to be plain, but as you can see from the photo, the primary colors are also displayed flashy.
The keyboard is an isolation type with 10 keys. The key pitch of the main keys is about 19 mm in actual measurement. There is also a 15.6-inch and footprint, so there are no keys that are particularly distorted or have a narrow pitch. The keystrokes are a little deeper and have a click feeling, so you can press them firmly.
In addition, it is equipped with a backlight that can be adjusted in 4 steps. You can easily type even in a relatively dark place. As you can see from the photo, the keyboard surface is almost parallel to the desk. I'd like you to lean toward you a little if possible, but this case can't be helped.
The touchpad is a single plate type with no physical buttons. There is a Windows Hello compatible fingerprint sensor in the upper right. A sufficient area including the palm rest is secured and it is easy to handle.
Vibration and noise were well within the permissible range in the trial range. When a load such as a benchmark test is applied to the heat generation, the mesh part on the keyboard gets a little heat. However, it is a good impression that the temperature does not rise so much, probably because the heat is sufficiently dissipated.
The sound is a pyramid balance that also produces relatively low tones, but the omission is not good and the power is insufficient. I want you to do your best.
