It’s overall been a good choice. The processor is fine, screen resolution is crisp, keyboard is fine. It’s just that I don’t seem to get more than a couple of hours out of the battery before I have to plug it in again. Otherwise I would recommend i
Really pleased with the laptop. Purchased in the Amazon sale and it’s well worth the money. Ready to use straight out of the box, super quick and nice and slim. I notice a lot of people aren’t happy as theirs didn’t have a backlit keyboard, however, ours has. Highly recommended.
Needed to replace an ageing and very slow desktop pc. After some research settled on this as it ticked most boxes and was competitively priced. Arrived very well packaged. Set up was straightforward, cloud access to all existing files/photos carried across. So much quicker and screen resolution is very good. No regrets so far!
Arrived safely. Set up easy. Make sure you follow instructions they are simple. It downloaded ALL my documents from other laptop plus Microsoft and Norton, with one click. Love the size of the screen as eyes not what they were! includes a numberpad but not sure I need it. So far so excellent.
As a student and freelance professional, finding the ideal laptop to meet both my academic and professional needs was paramount. After much research, I decided to invest in the ASUS Vivobook 16 M1603QA, and I am delighted to share my experience with this exceptional device.

Whether you’re a student, professional, or casual user in need of a reliable and stylish laptop, the Vivobook 16 is an excellent choice that delivers on all fronts.
Powerful, good battery, decent keyboard which should be back-lit in my opinion. The screen can only be viewed at a certain angle otherwise the colours will be very washed out. I came from an OLED 14 inch laptop from the same brand and thought that I had just grown used to the OLED beauty but I compared this screen to another non oled and it rang rings around this laptop. So if you’re buying this for media, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re connecting it to an external monitor. The sound is decent and does the job. Fans don’t get too loud even when I played a light weight game. The laptop can’t be lifted with one hand for anybody wondering. I’m also not a fan of the colour of the keyboard it reminds me of one of those cream keyboards from the 90’s/early 2000’s especially because it’s not back-lit. For someone just looking to do office of college work, this laptop is excellent especially with the high end CPU. If you’re into gaming or watching stuff on it, I’d recommend looking at something with a better screen.
Ryzen 5600H, a 16:10 screen at 1920 x 1200! , 16GB RAM, 512 NVMe, dual-band (2×2) wifi. That’s very good value for sub-500 (especially once you take VAT out of the equation and it’s nearer 400).
The chassis quality is pretty solid, there’s not too much give: the keyboard isn’t spongey. The 720p webcam obviously isn’t going to be the best thing, but it does have a physical privacy cover: a nice touch.
Of course there’s bound to be one or two compromises somewhere at this price point, and one would probably point to the screen: it’s geniunely refreshing and great that it’s a proper monitor-spec 16:10 (that extra height is *always* a plus) and at FHD+ resolution (WUXGA). 300 nits though is just above the merely adequate, and one probably shouldn’t talk of colour-accuracy for creators. But as a functional cost-effective PC for someone who just needs web browsing, Office-type apps, some Zoom calls, video playback and perhaps some light gaming, there are probably few things better at this price that are new out of the box.
