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

This great looking laptop is a value choice while still getting low weight and descent performance (SSD and I3 processor). The back-lit keyboard and nice screen (1920 x 1080) were appreciated touches for the primary user; my son. I like the ASUS brand generally.

Except the screen, it is a good computer based on its price.

It works really good

Estéticamente es hermosa la laptop, la bateria no dura mucho, la pantalla es aceptable, el teclado es excelente es muy ergonomico, por el precio que pague estoy mas que satisfecho.

Best thing I couldve buyed. It never slows down and its super fast for scholl stuff.

I see people on here whining about a $400 laptop. If you want a perfect laptop then custom build. This is an entry level laptop. Its not a $800 product however it is a pretty great laptop for its price.

First Year Update:

Screen flexed a little too much and the screen was prone to scrach easily, the higher end model has a better screen option that may fix that problem. Overall for a laptop in this price range its among the higher end for my picks. Better materials would fix alot of the problems with the computer but it would cost a few hundred more.

Let me preface this review by saying Im a middle aged retired woman. This computer is perfect for what I need. I surf the web, do a little research and maybe stream a movie or TV show occasionally. I do not game at all. This computer boots and searches very quickly. It is also quite light and slim. Easy on my wrists when lifting. It does have the quirks of S mode but Ive adjusted with no real whining. The major quirk was mail. I am one of the last 7 people on earth who has AOL mail. I could not get my mail through AOL web page but had to link my accounts to the Microsoft mail app. Not a big problem. You can easily get rid of S mode, but once you do, you cant go back. For me, the idea of a fast, safe mode, is more important than any weirdness S mode creates. All Good here.

I bought this in Oct then 4 months later the battery does not charge into full. It only says 79% all the time and I have to be plugged after 3-4 hours of continuous use. Not touch screen.
