seems all good so far not sure for gaming i dont use it for that but good lap tops we bought 2 of them there quite fast and a good price
My old ASUS finally gave up the ghost after ten years. I decided to stick with the same make as I was impressed with my old laptop and how long it lasted. I’ve been very pleased with this new laptop as it was easy to set up and it’s fast.
Bought for a nine year old child. Big thumbs up from them. Uses it for homework and to play games like Roblox and rocket league. Says gameplay doesn’t lag like the switch can sometimes
Good quality picture , fast to start up.
A few down points: no ethernet connection. You have to buy a adapter to connect to USB.
The light up keypad is nice but in broad day light ( or not in some kind of darkness ) you can’t see the keys as they are grey with white writing . Not very clever Asus. But as soon as the room gets dark then the keyboard is beautiful and the keys easy to see.
Battery life not that great ,I’d say around 3 hours and the battery icon telling you the charge left and the time left is so inaccurate that you cannot rely on it to check the battery status.
Nevertheless a nice device.
I’ve had this for just over a year and this is the best little laptop I’ve ever bought, it’s quick, very responsive, screen is great, webcam great, and it has all the connection ports I need.
I got it for about 230 at the time, the best value I think I have got for a product ever, however if it’s going for a little more but better than similar products, I would still recommend this without a doubt.
The laptop spec is perfectly fine for normal use (not heavy creative graphic works) and bit of light gaming too.
However, it has got a terrible screen quality and technology (it is TN ; NOT IPS or VA) which is never mentioned anywhere in the product description or specifications !!
The viewing angle of the screen is quite narrow i.e. it only can be viewed properly at perpendicular.
As you increase the viewing angle, the color will distort and contrast will fade away.
I am not a tehno but am delighted with this laptop…I was nervous but very easy to set up. Use it for basic stuff & find it very quick. Not bothered with lack of keyboard light & the keyboard is a delight to use. The screen is not extremely bright even at 100% but that saves my eyes so not complaining. For me the battery lasts as stated & the charge time is also correct. It’s robust which I love as I have no fear of breaking something so can speed up my usage. In fact it has given me confidence to use the variety of options offered…saying a lot for a non-tech! I spoke to the Asus team reregistration & got through quick for free. They were very helpful which is also a major plus. Regarding the sound it’s not perfect but I have got use to & am now very happy with the quality. If you’re looking for a laptop for basic, common usage I would highly recommend.
Bought this to replace a 7 year old Acer. This Asus is a good choice – lighter, slightly smaller and faster. Fan is very quiet. Upgraded the RAM by another 8Gb to deliver 16Mb – the upgrade cost was a quarter of the difference in price of buying this exact model with 16Gb already installed – and took me just 10 minutes to do. So overall a very satisfied customer.
My only downside comment is that the backlit keyboard is good at night, but during the day, the letters on the keys are very difficult to see – being a pale grey against as silver grey background. Getting used to it but better contrast in this area alone would make this a better all round buy.
i bought this laptop once and i was using it for school and gaming (only valorant) and this laptop couldnt do both. Maybe it was only the one i got but when i run Word with Chrome or Edge, its fans are making a lot of noise. Also, whenever i scrolled on my document, bottom part of the laptop would start flickering in black and its disturbing as you imagine. build quality is average. screen is NOT OK. even if you look straight to the screen with proper angle, sides are getting blurry because of the screen used on this laptop.
Do not expect any good gaming experience. I tried playing Minecraft, Valorant, Roblox and bluestack for emulating mobile games. It is bad. All the settings were at lowest but still getting over 60 fps was impossible with this laptop. AS I SAID BEFORE, MAYBE THE ONE I HAD THESE ISSUES, but it was a bad experience. If your budget is not high as mine and could only afford laptops at this price, use it to get refurbished but good quality laptops, which is what i did. i hope it was helpful.
I snatched this for under 400 as a warehouse deal – at this price this laptop can be really great value because it’s so hard to find many affordable options with 16gb ram. However, you need to be aware there’s no magic pricing here – significant corners were cut which may or not matter to you.
1. Screen: the specs say “IPS-level” but I wonder if this is actually a glorified TN panel? The viewing angles are incredibly poor, using this laptop on the couch is very complicated since you have to be facing the screen at a perfect angle. The colours are mediocre as with most budget laptops but OK but surfing the web etc. The brightness is quite low, lower than the MSI Modern 15 and an HP 14s-dq2502na, probably very difficult to use on a sunny day (but those don’t come all that often eh?)
2. Battery life: appalling. You can get 4.5hs of light use if you’re lucky. (I profiled it extensively) This was the same as the 1 year old HP 14, and 1-1.5 hours less than the MSI Modern 15 with Ryzen 7730U with a marginally smaller battery (39Wh vs 41Wh). The vivobook draws on average on idle 1.5W more than the MSI Modern which is almost to be expected as the i5 can’t beat the ryzen in power consumption. This, paired with a small battery and probably low quality components that are very power inefficient (and a larger screen) means you just can’t get much battery life. People claiming it’s great are likely coming from ancient dusty laptops that can barely hold a charge.
3. Ports: so outdated. The USB-C port does not support charging nor video out. The poor battery life could be compensated by easy charging via USB-C but no, you have to carry the (albeit small) proprietary barrel charger everywhere which is highly impractical if you move around the house or generally use this on your lap… Also because of this, you can only ever support 1 external monitor so OK but not ideal for say, working.
If you don’t care about any of the above then the laptop is actually very good value depending on the price you get it for. The build is really good for the price, I really enjoyed the keyboard (minus the unusual bottom row of the numpad). The touchpad was very good even if the mouse did skip a few times. The bezels are small and the whole unit feels solid for a plastic build and actually looks sleek if you don’t look too hard at it. As a last negative, I’m personally not a fan of the 16:9 aspect ratio, the 15.6″ screen seems too wide and short – I find the newer 16:10 to be far more practical and enjoyable but you can’t have it all at a budget level, just consider this as well. Lastly, as you’d expect the performance with the recent 12th gen i5 and 16gb of ram (and a decent NVMe SSD) is actually excellent for a budget laptop, super speedy.
The wide keyboard and added number pad makes it much easier to use for work. All ports you’d need aswell.
Overall very happy.
As a simple web browsing laptop to replace an aging device of similar spec for it’s time, I would say it’s excellent value and does the job web. I picked this one up when it was 380 quid for a relative – for what they use it for they are very happy indeed. Don’t expect to do anything usefully productive or gaming on this – it is what it is.
BUILD QUALITY. Excellent. The product looks and feels well-built. One has the impression that with reasonable care, this laptop will last a long time.
PERFORMANCE. Surprisingly Good. Considering the spec, I was not expecting the laptop to be particularly fast, especially when multitasking. But I have been pleasantly surprised, for everyday computing tasks it is more than able to do the job. The storage medium is superfast – impressive.
MONITOR (SCREEN). Good enough. At first I was disappointed with the screen, the factory settings were bland and uninspiring. But once you have setup the screen the results are very acceptable and the matt finish is excellent as it does not detract from brightness but removes all reflections – very good.
BATTERY LIFE. Sufficient. Don’t expect to run the laptop all day on a single charge. It is not that type of machine. But the battery will last long enough for most purposes. Battery and weight work in opposite directions, a bigger battery means longer battery life but also means a heavier laptop. I think ASUS have got the balance between battery life and weight just about right.
WEIGHT. A 15″ laptop is never going to be a lightweight option. However I am impressed with the balance that ASUS have achieved between Size; Build Quality; Battery and Weight. Just about perfect.
KEYBOARD. Outstanding. I love the keyboard. I touch-type at around 60wpm, so the keyboard is an essential item for me. I have found that I make far fewer mistakes on this keyboard. The size of keys, the spacing and the key-travel are absolutely perfect. 10 out of 10 to ASUS. Possibly the best keyboard that I have ever used.
TRACKPAD. Very good. Well worth the time spent getting to know all the actions that this trackpad can perform.
USER GUIDE. Excellent. Well written. Covers everything.
RECOMMEND. Yes. I would buy again.
So I waited for Black Friday as I do my TV and Mobile requirements and this Asus laptop popped up very early on on Amazon before the sales started and I snapped it for 329. I bought a Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 3200MHz in the sale for 20 which simply slots in, apart from undoing some screws on back of laptop it was simples, just plug and play, re-screw and done, upgraded Ram to 16GB. I am not a nerd or a techy, I don’t even know if I have done any good, but I feckin hate newspaper websites that kill my laptops and this has done the trick.
The Asus is really fast, very very quick starting, I have 3 profiles for family and it’s bullet fast. The screen is not as good as my old TJ65 but you getz what you pay for and it’s fine for what it has to do. If you need a seriously good screen then you need to dig deep right. It is light to carry, the hinges are not looking to be the strongest so will be careful and not take the Michael. But what I really love about it is it is silent, so silent I worry something is not right, I have a 1900 HP work laptop 3 months old and is noisy compared to this Asus! The battery is fine, it lasts for hours and I have never yet had to run for a charger, it is absolutely reliable and suspect that’s because it does not have an energy thirsty fan panging away..
The only downside is a real cheap keyboard, my HP is back-lit and posh, this is button press, twang and noisy as you type, but actually, for an old fart like me, it actually helps as I don’t mistype as much!
So I am sorry for the wordy review, I don’t do many, but it’s a definite yes from me and I would buy another, if I got some amazingly well paid job that meant i needed another, but I guess I have 3 laptops now so by default have a great job, unfortunately not in the pay scale department!!
It is quite bulky but no worry to me. This was to replace my 6 yr old Acer s13 with WIN10. Having tried to put my own configuration and programmes on this laptop I have found Microsoft are making it much harder to change what they want you to have in Win 11.. For instance trying to use Firefox browser that I like instead of MS Edge was not easy. You have to disable their S system. The same goes for other non MS programmes so putting obstacles in your way if you are trying to make individual choices.Also the new layout I am trying to come to terms with. So don’t expect it to be all plain sailing as they make you believe. Has a decent sized screen. The loss of backlit keys is a pain. The price seems decent generally though. Only really bought this due to increased storage from my Acer plus the screen section was coming away from the keyboard section so meant an expensive repair. On reflection just about justifying buying this laptop – so far !
