Customers find value in the VivoBook S15's compact size and solid-state drive for fast performance. However, they express concerns about the keyboard's backlight, finding it difficult to read even when lit, and the short battery life, which lasts only about an hour and a half.

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.

Out of the box and plugged in stalls and stutters. Wanting to run Chrome one has to go to Microsoft store and get out of S mode. Minor pain. Took a day trying to adjust hardware and updates to run somewhere near smoothly. Battery life biggest disappointment. From 100% to dead, 1 hour 35 minutes! Basically surfing no major workload! WiFi adapter speed unremarkable compared to other devices in this house. Will run smoothly then stutter stall. AVOID!

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.
