ASUS VivoBook F512 Thin and Lightweight Laptop, 15.6” FHD WideView NanoEdge , AMD R5-3500U CPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10, Peacock Blue, F512DA-EB51

This laptop performs pretty pleasantly, is nicely designed, and has some good features, but that is all unimportant with a sub-par, poorly designed cooling system. The heat pipes do not even make contact with the fan, which, instead of blowing the heat from the pipes out of an exhaust port, is instead pointed across the pipes, and not directed toward any exhaust at all. This is no secret, either - plenty of comments have been made about it, and its easy to find a teardown that shows this asinine engineering. Because of this, the fan will run quite often under any remotely demanding workload (that it CAN handle, just not without getting hot), and the fan is not super quiet either, so noise levels are abysmal.

Ive had this computer for less than a year and I regret buying this one. I play one computer game with less than great graphics and it lags and skips. When I rest my wrists on it while typing, it either wants to ignore the space bar or hold it down at times. And now the mouse pad is acting up, making the cursor seize all over the screen and Im not able to control it well enough to click on a specific spot very well. This whole computer seems to be a cheap piece of crap thats already falling apart just 9 months after I bought it and Im really upset about it. Im a student, so I dont have a lot of money to spend on a computer, so this is really disappointing to me.

The only issue I found is that it doesn’t have an Ethernet port. Other than that it’s a great lightweight and fast computer.

Una excelente laptop para el precio, bonita, ligera, buen rendimiento de la batería para ser tan delgada.. Exelente audio y video. Muy útil el lector de huellas.

Love the pc . Super fast and light

Within a month it stopped working

Bought thus at the end of July, as of Saturday Nov. 14, the computor will not boot up. P C will not start, it stays on a solid Black screen. I would like to get this returned. A shame that it only lasted less than 4 months.

Equipazo

The computers RAM is only 8GB which is slower than my other computer which has 16GB RAM. But its ok to use for daily student tasks.

There is no SATA slot in the notebook. No after-sales service from Amazon is provided, I have been told that I need to find the manufacturer directly for repair.
