ASUS - VivoBook S15 15.6" Gaia Green Metal Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Gaia Green Metal

This laptop was a Christmas gift for my mom. She desperately needed an upgrade from her 2004 laptop. She only uses it to check websites, shop, and email. She has minor health issues so getting something that was light was important. She also loves the green color I got her. Even though she doesn’t work on it I added Office for her. The boot up speed is great, and after setting up her VPN, and anti-virus I am 100% confident that she can shop and check sites safely. The initial setup process is very intuitive, and I’m sure my mother could’ve done the setup without me. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because she’s only had it since Christmas. That being said this is a great laptop for email, and internet. I’m sure it’s capable of a lot more.

Pros: It's very sleek and lightweight. I also like having a color that's not black or space gray. My previous laptop was a MacBook Pro and I could not justify buying a new one when I could get a good Windows machine for less. It's easy to set up, too. Cons: Bloatware. Lots of it. I don't need Xbox Console Companion, Xbox Game Bar, Mixed Reality Portal, McAfee, etc. The power cord is long but I still need a power strip to reach an outlet. I tried looking for a longer adapter but ASUS doesn't sell them for the VivoBook. All in all, a good choice if you're looking for a new laptop.

Great laptop for our needs. I am a pretty loyal Asus customer. No complaints about this laptop, however, in full disclosure it is not our main laptop so we have not used it as much. What I really like about Asus is their dedication to customer service. They are among the few manufacturers who seem to watch & respond to reviews of their product on Best Buy's website. Asus listens to their customers and when possible, tries to make it right when there is a complaint. Kudo Asus!

I've only had this laptop for a couple of weeks and the biggest disappointment is the battery. Fully charged, it's supposed to last for 8 hours. I have yet to experience that, even from when I first charged it right out of the box. And tonight I got on a web meeting for 1 hour and 45 minutes. At the start of the meeting, battery had about 6 hours left on it. After the meeting, the battery was down to around 3 hours! ASUS needs to make MAJOR improvements to battery life. So far, this is my only complaint about the laptop. I will probably return it.

First one if the two had keys that were unresponsive. Bb did not have a replacement so had to order different color online. Solid i5; fast boot, responsive ui, feels solid and looks great. Backlit keyboard, webcam, and mic are a must, so nice to have those. Caveat:. Wifi antenna is unstable. But, my hr WiFi is unstable at times. So not sure which is more culprit. I do know resetting wifi on laptop sometimes fixes intermittent issues.

The device broke down after less than a year and a half of use. Motherboard issue

Good basic laptop. Performs well. Camera is only fair for anything but bright light. Keyboard can be very difficult to read even when lighted. Seems like that’s something that they should have caught and corrected when designing the product.

Very nice laptop. The lighted keys are nice on the keyboard since i can't see keys without light. Screen size is nice. Computer sync nice with my Samsung note 20. I don't like that when you choose laptop internet gets out and has to reconnect.
