Overall Decent to Great Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is perfect for me and overall a decent mid-range laptop. - Display: The display is fine; not great but also not bad! The resolution is decent for watching things like 1080p Youtube videos. Although, I will say that when I first got my Vivobook I was concerned because I noticed that the contrast on Youtube videos was too high, plus it was overall a bit off. I found a solution to this, though, by using the MyASUS App to alter the colors & settings. I did not know that that app existed, so I was pleasantly surprised. The screen itself has a matte finish that I like because the glare of the sun doesn't cause unwanted reflections unlike my previous glass screen laptop. The viewing angles are okay. Lastly, the screen gets pretty bright. I have nothing great to compare it to, though, since my previous laptop was around 250-300 nitts anyway. - RAM: It has more memory than my last computer (8gb vs 12gb) which definitely makes a difference for someone like me who always has at least 6+ tabs & 2 windows open. Also, it doesn't seem slow at least to me. - Keyboard & Trackpad: The keyboard feels great to me. Has a good springy-ness to it and doesn't feel cheap. It is also spaced out well *for the most part*. However, the number pad on the right is way too small which discourages me from using it. Lastly, the arrow keys are very small which discourages me to use those as well. The touchpad also is decent. Feels smooth and mostly responsive, with it responding a bit slow every now and then. Also, there was this weird thing where if you clicked the bottom of the touchpad to do a left click, it would act as a right click. Very odd, but hasn't happened in a couple days so maybe I just needed to update some stuff. - CPU: The AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS works almost perfectly! I don't do demanding tasks on my laptop such as 3D modelling, coding, or play AAA games, so it works amazingly for my simpler tasks. What I can attest to is it being able to load my 80+ page Word Document and copy & paste 1000+ cells into Excell very quickly lol. Plus, I usually have 2 windows open. On the off times that it works very slowly, I hesitate to blame it on the CPU because my wifi in general sucks and I'm often using browser apps. ;P - Chassis: The build quality is decent. It doesn't feel like it's going to break and actually feels quite sturdy, BUT I did accidentally knee the left side of the display hinge and it detached slightly... thankfully it was an easy push-back-together fix, but I briefly worried that I already broke my new laptop haha. So, my guess is that overall it won't stop working if you drop it, but try your best not to because the chassis is still plastic - and not as durable as Lenovo's. I worry the most about the hinge! Lastly, this laptop is a behemoth at 16", so be aware that it may not fit in your school bag. - Camera & Microphone: The cameras pretty good. Decent quality image for a laptop. (Laptop cameras in general are not the best so I won't fault this Vivobook's grainy quality. In fact, it might be a little better than my Lenovo Ideapad 14IAU7's, but I'm not sure and can't check.) The mic isn't that good, but it gets the job done for any Zoom meeting. You'll sound a little crunchy, but they'll be able to understand you just fine. - Speakers: Lastly, the speakers sometimes work very well and other times are just awful. I believe this is mostly dependent on the video's audio quality, but the speakers also just don't get very loud when you need them to be. Add this to the fact that they are on the bottom of the laptop, and it makes it even worse because you then have to lift the laptop to hear quiet videos. So, the speakers don't get very loud and personally I don't like the placement. Besides this, the sound quality is alright. It doesn't sound too tinny and the bass is decent, at least to me. Sound works on left, right, and can come through in the middle (I think? I'm not great at speaker review). - Battery & Charging: The battery lasts a lot longer than I expected! I saw other reviews on here saying theirs only lasted 2-3 hours which scared me, but I can say that my battery lasted about 6+ hours of near-constant usage on LOW brightness. So, if you're the type of person that does full brightness, it'll probably only last the reported 4 hours. The good thing is that it charges very quickly! Unfortunately, I didn't time how long it typically takes before writing this review. Lastly, the charger is in two parts, with the middle having this 3"x3" length & 1" wide cube. So, that part is bulky. But personally I prefer that this part is bulky and have the actual plugin that connects to the outlet be a regular 1" 3-pronged plug. The charger is also very long which is great. In summary, the Vivobook 16 is a real catch on sale and I can attest that it works perfectly for light college work. Some things such as the speakers may be sub-par, but nothing is outright bad. I would highly recommend buying this *on Sale* (below $700)

"Game-Changing Laptop: A Nursing Student's View
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am thrilled to share my experience with this laptop—it's been an absolute game-changer for me as a nursing student! From day one, it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. First and foremost, its speed is remarkable, allowing me to navigate through tasks effortlessly. As someone with a busy schedule, this has been a lifesaver. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and seamless setup process made transitioning to this laptop a breeze. One of its standout features is the exceptional battery life. I can go hours on end without worrying about running out of power, which is crucial during long study sessions or clinical rotations. This extended battery performance has truly enhanced my productivity, allowing me to focus solely on my schoolwork without interruption. Moreover, this laptop is remarkably affordable without compromising on quality. It's a fantastic option for anyone in need of a reliable and budget-friendly device.

Meets my everyday purposes quite well
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First up it's a pretty decent machine for everyday use (non-working purposes). Haven't really tried to leverage the graphical power of the machine yet (whatever it might be), but otherwise a very good machine with good boot speed and response times. It's also very handy, lightweight and pretty easy to carry around when traveling (very convenient especially for flights & airports instead of using a tab - including the charger). Pros: - Lightweight and fast enough to run multiple browser tabs and windows at the same time (majority of my use) - Application start-up and system boot times are pretty good for a Windows machine (I know! :)) - Holds charge quite well (probably 2-3 hours even with good usage level) Things I'm not a fan of: - The body is pretty flimsy (fully plastic and opening the lid can be a bit of an ordeal sometimes initially if you're used to other sturdy machines). But if we think about the ease of carrying it around, it makes sense to me that it's designed this way. You need to make sure to consider this point depending on the nature of usage. - Keyboard seems a little outside of my expectations for a 16 inch display/tray. Especially with how the ' . ' and 'Del' keys have been swapped and the lack of Num /Caps Lock indicator LED on the tray (it's hidden somwhere on the side for no clear reason). - Despite above cons, this might have been a great laptop if it was touch screen..falls a bit short of expectations here too.

Great laptop
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the laptop for 7 months now. Using it for gaming/ entry level coding . It works amazing for what I require , loads quick and has plenty of storage. It is very lightweight and thing, making it easy to take almost anywhere. The battery life last forever aswell for coding and gaming most computers drain the battery. I can make a full day of heavy usage before needing a charge. I would definitely recommend this computer for anyone wanting a reliable laptop that can run multiple task with no issues.

Satisfactory for a deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well worth the price I bought it for. Runs Firefox, Spotify, Steam/basic steam games , etc. without an issue. Comes with Windows 11 on S mode. S mode sucks, but if you know how to navigate settings and click big buttons it's completely manageable. The extra 4gb really counts, since Windows and background processes eat up your memory. Wouldn't reccomend for gamers since the intergrated graphics is pretty basic, but that is to be expected. Storage is a bit on the light side but worst scenario you can store your documents and photos in the cloud. The laptop itself is a bit bulky at 16 inch screen-size, and I have trouble fitting it in the laptop bag I got, however it's lighter than expected due to materials the casing is made of.

Overall, Great Computer!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The color is beautiful and the size is perfect! I got this instead of another thinking it’d hold me until I got another one but, I’ve had it for almost a year and it’s still powerful. The battery life is really good for what you can do, though the more tabs you have open it can slow the processor and affect the quality of your battery so it’s best to switch to eco. The keyboard is big enough and the keys are still functioning properly. I’ve dropped it by accident a couple times and there’s no scratches or damage anywhere. When it gets warm it doesn’t overheat and the fan is low so you barely notice it. I had trouble pairing to my epson printer but, I figured it out. Once you switch out of the game version of the laptop you are not allowed to go back at all so maybe not an all in one office, streaming and gaming laptop. Although, you still have play store apps through google and can access Xbox services through it. Overall it’s a great computer and would highly recommend to people who want a computer that can function without having to spend a ton of money!

Great laptop!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received the Vivobook today as a replacement of the MacBook Air 2020 after it decided to give out. 4 hours owning it so far and safe to say I am very happy with the purchase! As of when we purchased, we were saving $330.00, so the laptop total was only $440.32, and it is much better than the Mac. Battery life would be about 4 stars, it just goes quick in my opinion. Keyboard feels excellent along with the trackpad, and the speed is amazing! Definitely a GREAT purchase!

Awesome Laptop! Best I’ve ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is a little workhorse. It has an excellent screen, excellent processing power and can even handle some entry level games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 with ease. It does the job very well for what I use it for. The only con about this computer is the battery life and that is about it.

Q: QuestionWhat specific ram do I need in order to upgrade to 16GB of memory?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You can use Crucial memory. I know that works. The spec is DDR4 3200 SODIMM. You can confirm this using the Crucial site and plugging in this ASUS model. You would replace the removeable 4GB with an 8GB. The system max is 16GB and there is 8GB soldered on board so just use the 8GB to replace the 4GB. By the way there is a piece of protective tape on the 4GB chip, so remove that and put the tape on your new 8GB chip and then install it.
