There's a Dedicated graphics card which is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti with 4 GB GDDR5 VRAM.

A dedicated graphics card usually offers a little bit more graphics power so could be better suited towards gaming and/or graphics processing work like image or video editing.

The glossy screen that is offered may not suit everyone, particularly people working more in cafes or outside. You may notice glare or reflections more often than with non-glossy laptops.

It's offered in a Glossy finish.

A brightness of 400 cd/m2, or nits, is available in the screen.

It comes with 1 TB of hard drive storage installed, via 1 x 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD harddrive.

The battery life is achieved via a 6-Cell: 96 Wh capacity battery.

When it comes to ports, it's offered with 1 x USB Type-A (USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 1) 2 x USB Type-A (USB 2.0) ports. 2 Type-A ports is usually enough for regular laptop users, giving you enough freedom for the peripherals you need.

There's an option of using the Type-C USB ports, with 1 x USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports being offered too, allowing both the use of almost any current peripheral, but also adaptors & dongles allowing use of additional ports for the laptop.

With a backlit keyboard, you'll clearly see your keys and ensure minimal mistakes when you're typing what you need to type.

The option of the fingerprint reader gives you login & security flexibility, by allowing you to sign in to your laptop with just the tip of your finger.

You'll find Wifi 6 inside the laptop, which is the current generation. This gives you a small step up in terms of future-proofing your tech, yet may not give you much of an advantage over wifi 5 unless your router and the rest of your setup is up to scratch.

With the latest standard of Bluetooth included, Bluetooth 5, you'll be set for a few more years of ensuring any new peripheral purchased is fully compatible.

The power supply for the ASUS 16" VivoBook Pro is a 120 W with Barrel/Proprietary so if you're concerned about power usage, make sure this fits within your requirements.
