ASUS VivoBook 15 Thin and Light Laptop, 15.6” FHD, Intel Core i3-8145U CPU, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Windows 10 in S Mode, F512FA-AB34, Slate Gray

good

My daughter uses this laptop for school works. Its fast and battery last long. Its good size to carry around.

I knew in purchasing the laptop Id need to make immediate upgrades. I didnt need the best processor as all my work is done online, but do open multiple taps and email all day long. I added 8 gb RAM and 500 gb SSD, which should be plenty for me, so overall $80 in upgrades that add to the cost of the laptop. Still cheaper than a stronger processor laptop that Id pay $100+ more for and still end up upgrading memory and storage. Boot time is lightning fast and so far everything responds as it should during work. Upgrading was super easy. There is a space for an extra hard drive, but no connector or caddy so those will have to be purchased separately, adding on another $20 to the cost. If you have a hard time finding the right connector and caddy to fit, I purchased the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PDZ4DGF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, which ended up fitting fine but the screws are loose holding the drive to the caddy and it is only friction holding it in place in the empty hard drive slot. It is a good tight fit so it is fine for my use, which is mostly work at home, very rarely taking my laptop out of the home to work away. Overall I spent around $450 for a decent processor and plenty of memory and storage.

well I liked the old one so much I became a repeat offender, yep I just love it and if you are in a dimly lit room, the keyboard lights up

Works pretty well. Screen quality isnt very good

I was returnet, but i need more big. But its no bad comput

I needed a new laptop because Microsoft discontinued support for window 7. My Dell was a dinosaur. I got it used and had it almost 6 years. this one starts up instantly. wow. people complain these inexpensive laptops are slow. compared to the old one...heck, no! I have no complaints but then again, my needs are few and simple. also, I did research and this laptop made the top ten for the price. no regrets.

This is the first laptop I ever owned and after two years of using it, I have to say that its ok. There is nothing really to write home about in terms of upsides. The display quality is good (though looking at it from an angle is not a fun experience), and the sound quality is as good. Though its not very powerful, which is to be expected for a laptop of this price, as a result, some games are an absolute chore to play. What doesnt help is the fact that there are very few things to upgrade about it, like RAM or the SSD. Its perfect if you only intend on using it for work or light gaming; but for anything else, just save for a decent desktop. Some things that I personally dislike about it are the location of the charger port and headphone jack; both of which are located on the right side of the laptop which can cause issues if your outlet or headphones have a cord on the left side. (Also, if you buy this, make sure to buy an external hard drive as well. 128 Gigs of storage will be eaten up VERY quickly.)

OK, I knew I wasnt buying a fancy laptop when I bought this. Its OK. Its fast-ish. The main issue is the screen which is good-ish looking head-on but sucks from any angle. Even head-on its super obvious that the screen is only lit from the center. I just wish the screen was better.

I dont like Microsofts Edge browser, and I have used the Chrome browser (or Firefox) instead. with previous versions of Windows 10. But I cannot do this with this machine, and I have tried many times.
