ASUS M570DD Review: Ryzen 5 and GeForce GTX 1050 in a Practical 15.6-Inch Laptop

Editor note: This English review is an original adaptation based on the source material published by Notebook-Center.ru.

Overview

The ASUS M570DD is a 15.6-inch laptop built for users who want one machine for work, media, and some gaming without moving into a heavier class. In this configuration, it combines an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics, 8 GB of memory, and two storage drives. The result is a practical mid-range notebook with a matte Full HD IPS display, a full-size keyboard, and a useful port selection.

Its main strength is versatility. The notebook can handle office work, web use, multimedia, and lighter gaming tasks with help from the discrete GPU. The main compromises are a basic 0.3 MP webcam, no optical drive, and a port layout that puts most connectors on the right side.

Technical Specifications

Design and Portability

ASUS gives the M570DD a restrained black finish with contrasting details on the lid and around the chassis. The surfaces are matte, which helps reduce visible fingerprints in daily use. According to the source review, the plastic body feels well assembled, with no obvious gaps or creaks during normal handling.

For a 15.6-inch notebook with discrete graphics, the dimensions and 1.9 kg weight remain travel-friendly. It is still more of an everyday carry machine than an ultrabook, but it should fit comfortably into regular commuting or study use.

Display and Media Use

The 15.6-inch IPS panel offers a 1920x1080 resolution and a matte finish. The source review highlights full sRGB coverage, good viewing angles, and solid color reproduction, which makes the screen suitable for documents, video, and general multimedia use. Brightness is described as more comfortable indoors than outside in bright sunlight, while the matte surface helps reduce distracting reflections.

Audio comes from two stereo speakers with SonicMaster support. Sound quality is described as clean enough for a small room, although users who want more depth for movies or music will still benefit from headphones or external speakers. The 0.3 MP webcam is serviceable for basic video calls, but image quality is limited.

Keyboard and Everyday Use

The keyboard includes a numeric keypad, which is useful for spreadsheets and frequent number entry. The main keys are reasonably large, the layout is familiar, and the source review notes comfortable key travel and good feedback. This should make the laptop easy to use for longer typing sessions.

The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures such as scrolling and zooming, and it is positioned in the usual central area below the space bar. One notable omission in this configuration is keyboard backlighting, while a fingerprint reader is not included here either.

Performance and Storage

The Ryzen 5 3500U is a quad-core processor intended for mainstream notebooks, and the reviewed configuration pairs it with 8 GB of DDR4 memory. In practical terms, that should be enough for office work, web browsing with many tabs, and media tasks. The laptop ships without a preinstalled operating system, so the buyer can choose Windows or Linux.

Graphics duties are split between the integrated Radeon RX Vega 8 and the dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory. The source review positions this setup as capable of handling many games at 1920x1080 with medium settings, while lighter titles run more comfortably. Storage is another advantage: a 256 GB SSD helps system responsiveness, and the 1 TB hard drive adds room for files and media.

Ports and Battery

The ASUS M570DD covers the main wired connections needed for a versatile home or office laptop, including USB Type-C, HDMI, RJ-45, USB 3.1, two USB 2.0 ports, a microSD card reader, and a combined audio jack. The main usability drawback is the port distribution, because most connectors are placed on the right side, which may be less convenient for right-handed users with several devices attached.

Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.2. The 48 Wh battery is rated in the source review for around 8 to 9 hours in balanced use and up to about 10 hours of video playback with wireless modules disabled. Under heavier workloads such as gaming, battery life drops much faster. The review also notes support for fast charging, with 60% restored in 49 minutes, and says surface temperatures stay manageable during use.

Verdict

The ASUS M570DD is a balanced mid-range notebook for users who want one machine for office work, media, and occasional gaming. Its strongest points are the Full HD IPS display, dual-drive storage, solid everyday performance, and the added flexibility of GeForce GTX 1050 graphics in a relatively portable body.

The trade-offs are straightforward: the webcam is basic, this version lacks keyboard backlighting and a fingerprint reader, and the right-heavy port layout is not ideal. Even so, the overall package looks practical and competitive for buyers who value versatility over premium extras.
