For those seeking powerful graphics performance on a budget, laptops equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 are highly recommended. The RTX 4050 offers performance close to the RTX 3060, along with support for DLSS 3.0 Frame Generation AI upscaling for enhanced gaming experiences. However, many RTX 4050 laptops either sacrifice portability for performance or vice versa, especially for gamers or creative professionals.
Enter the ASUS Vivobook 16X (K3605), the lightest 16-inch RTX 4050 laptop available in Malaysia. It combines a lightweight design with powerful hardware, making it ideal for creative professionals who also enjoy gaming. Here are five reasons why the Vivobook 16X is a fantastic choice for those on the go:
A Perfect Balance of Performance and Cooling
The Vivobook 16X is powered by the 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12500H, a 12-core processor (4 performance cores, 8 efficient cores) that excels in multithreaded workloads like video editing and 3D modeling. Despite being a two-year-old processor, it still outperforms newer models like the 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H in benchmarks.
Paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, the Vivobook 16X offers excellent gaming and creative performance, thanks to DLSS 3.0 for smooth gameplay. The inclusion of NVIDIA Studio drivers ensures maximum stability for professional apps, and the MUX Switch allows users to toggle between the discrete GPU and the iGPU for extended battery life.
The laptop’s ASUS IceCool thermal technology with multiple heat pipes and an 87-blade IceBlade fan ensures optimal cooling, even during intensive tasks.
Slim, Light, and Portable
Weighing just 1.8kg and measuring 18.9mm thin, the Vivobook 16X is the most portable RTX 4050 laptop in Malaysia. Unlike bulky gaming laptops, it offers a sleek design with the Vivobook’s iconic raised logo, making it ideal for professionals who need power on the go. The laptop also meets US MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards, ensuring it can withstand tough conditions.
Additional features include a 180-degree lay-flat hinge, an ErgoSense keyboard for comfortable typing, and ASUS Antimicrobial Guard to inhibit bacterial growth on the surface.
Designed for Work and Play
The 16-inch IPS display on the Vivobook 16X is perfect for creative professionals. It features a 16:10 aspect ratio, covers 100% sRGB color gamut, and offers WUXGA (1920×1200) resolution, ensuring accurate color representation. With a 144Hz refresh rate and 300nits brightness, the display is also ideal for gaming, delivering smooth visuals and reduced eye strain, thanks to TUVRheinland low blue light certification.

The Vivobook 16X includes a full suite of ports, making it easy to connect accessories without the need for dongles. It features:
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports
