    Just released, apparently, because I can't seem to find any decent reviews.
    Could someone care to estimate the performance of this vs. the beefier VivoBook S15 N580VD FI418T?

    Well, I did some digging, and here's what Passmark charts reveal.

    CPU:
    Intel i7-8550U Processor - 8,025
    Intel i7-7700HQ Processor - 8,947 Not a whole lot of difference there.

    GPU:
    NV MX150 2G DDR3 Graphics - 1,911
    NV GTX 1050 4G GDDR5 Graphics - 4,377 This is significant, unless I'm reading the charts wrong. (Someone please cross check).
