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

Bought this laptop when it was on sale back in April. It had a pretty good quality screen, was lightweight and worked fast for a sub $500 laptop. Everything was fine for about three weeks, but then it started booting into BIOS screen every time Id turn the power on. It would require me to restart the system multiple times before it would boot back into Windows. Ive contacted Asus team, and they recommended I send it to them to get the drive replaced. Shipping would be slow due to Covid19, so I asked if I would be able to simply replace the drive with my own SSD, to which they replied yes, but I would also have to buy a restore flash drive from Asus so Id be able to use Windows again, which was another $40 or so. While trying to decide what to do next, the laptop randomly stopped charging. It would require me plugging and unplugging it several dozen times until it would start charging again. At this point I packed the system up in its box, and returned it to Amazon.

I needed a laptop and Im glad I found this one, it works amazing its all I could ask for in a laptop. An amazing affordable laptop for college.

This laptop was a disappointment. It just stopped working. Do not buy it.

I love this laptop. I love ASUS, I had to get this one cause my old one had an issue with the motherboard. But this one is great quality for a relatively cheap price. I love that the entire face is the screen, keeps the screen large without a huge trim. Perfect for doing work and browsing. I don’t game so I’m not aware of its performance in that aspect.

An absolute piece of junk. System errors and driver failures out of the box. Do not even consider this laptop.

The absolute best buy for a laptop on Amazon the fingerprint reader for quick access is great bronze perfectly Asus for many years has made the boards for many computer companies this combination of an Asus VivoBook with the ryzen 5 processor and graphics card is a powerful combination I am an IT project manager for a large corporation I highly recommend this product you will not be disappointed but please be advised it does not come with a DVD CD-ROM type reader but that should not be any type of deal-breaker

My son uses this all the time

Great for web surfing. Not great for games unless all you play is AAA from 10 or 15 years ago. Decent screen.

backlit screen very important to me.

Muy buena
