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

You just want to mind your own business and use this laptop right away? Nope. Immediately upon powering on the computer, youll have to go through the mandatory Wifi connection in order to create a very intrusive Microsoft Outlook account that will ask for two email addresses, your name, and DOB. It is impossible to complete the setup process if you dont have access to WiFi and it is not possible to skip any of the these steps. Finally, the description shows that this Laptop comes with Windows 10 but the computer automatically upgrade to Windows 11 during the initial setup. And again, you dont have any other choice.

A nice budget friendly and basic laptop for average typical needs. Not great for gaming it does not have the power to handle a high end of capabilities but its great for everything else. Easy to install and update. Light and nice material used.

In fact, the one which contains i3-8145U core would be what I bought. However the shop wrongly delivered the notebook with i3-1005G core.

Ordered two and both had Network cards that do not work. Once a reliable company now produces junk.

Too soon to tell. Seems to be just what we wanted.

I read all the reviews before I bought this, I didnt want to spend near a thousand. This was closer to the budget I had to expend, had the right speed and memory for my job so I bought it. Ive had it since Nov 2019 and it works well. I use it for work, Im in business finance, so not doing lots of Media stuff but I do need storage and speed. This is a great purchase for the price so far.

numerical keyboard in the way 100%. too fragile for our business (autobody). touch screen very very sensitive.

I was looking for a laptop to replace my 8yo behemoth. My criteria were: lightweight, 8gb RAM, 64gb+ SSD, 1080p, with a full-sized HDMI port (no mini), Windows OS. I wanted it mostly for web browsing, word processing, and some fairly light gaming (modded Minecraft, Java version). After about a month, I am so far satisfied with this computer for all of those tasks.

Just unpacked my new laptop, first time for an Asus. I have most of my customizing done and so far I love it.

Its excellent for gaming but battery life is not so good.
