Bargain for the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It comes very handy. I have been loving this product.

This is a solid computer with one major flaw. It's relatively fast and will handle all basic tasks with ease. The problem is the screen is horrible. The viewing angles are terrible. You have to view it from the perfect angle otherwise the colors and saturation are way off. I've connected it to a monitor so I now never have to see the screen. If you're planning to use the screen then consider other options.

Chose this product for price and not much of quality. One more thing that I liked was th RAM of 12 GB.

It was a good laptop so basic needs just wasn’t right for me as an architecture student. Also beware there’s no backlight on the keyboard and the screen is very dim

Purchased for my daughter didn't work as intended. Ran slowly though had great storage for the 279.99 price. Would buy again for school or lite at home work.

Purchased this item due to practicality and cost efficiency, but unfortunately it was not up to standard for what i use it. Speed isn't the best and the feature it has (calculator pad) didn't work properly.

Reasonable laptop, but only would buy it at the sale price. Current list price is too high.

No instructions for use. Not that easy to learn how to use it. I sincerely wish I had just bought a Chromebook from Amazon!!

The display is not good. Had to return because clarity was not good

Returned because I cannot go from an OLED screen from my last laptop to this laptop's IPS screen

I must say that the packaging of this laptop is great, it is just so nice. I found the box clean, modern, and aesthetically pleasing as soon as I opened it up. It made me like the laptop before I had even opened it. The box itself was sturdy and kept the laptop secure. Inside, everything fit together quite tidily. The laptop itself was secure in place with some padding so it wouldn’t get in the way or get destroyed on the journey. The charger and other accessories had their own dedicated places as well, so it was easy enough to see what you were looking for. The box had high-quality, solid materials in it. It did not feel cheap at any stage. I also liked that it hadn’t wasted excessive amounts of plastic and waste. Overall, the packaging made a great impression. It reflected that the company cares about the customer as well as the product. It made it easy enough to unbox the laptop because the packaging is so nice. ASUS Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop Intel Core i5 is the ideal solution if you need a light, slim notebook for normal usage. ASUS made the Vivoobooks line progressively superior, and this is no exception. One of the standout features is the Full HD (1920 x 1080) display, an improvement significantly better than the previous models riddled with poor screen display. Another of this laptop's strongest selling features is how portable it is. It's lightweight and slim, easy enough to take in either a messenger bag or backpack. It's especially ideal for students, office workers, or someone who's on their feet most of the day. This is built fairly decently for the cost, but some users will be able to feel some flex in the keyboard while typing on it for hours on end at a time. Performance-wise, the Vivobook 14 is ideal for such light tasks as web surfing, media streaming, word processing, as well as light multitasking. Intel Core i5 combined with 12GB RAM can provide responsive performance for running conventional applications. It can even support certain casual games like Roblox smoothly as well. It is not designed for gaming or serious creative applications as it uses Intel UHD Graphics. This is different from somemore pricey Vivobook models, which come equipped with NVIDIA GPUs, this one makes do with totally integrated graphics and may struggle somewhat with more intensive programs. Storage is also something that needs to be considered. The 256GB SSD offers fast boot times and quick access to files, but for those with a high demand for storage capacity because of big applications, media files, or games, the storage will appear limited. An external hard drive or cloud storage can be utilized for additional space. The screen is an improvement over earlier models of Vivobook, although it still has some limitations. The 250 nits of the screen's brightness can be hard to work with in outdoor environments or very brightly lit rooms. That 45% NTSC color gamut also translates to fewer full and accurate colors, which might not be ideal for creative professionals requiring color accuracy for photo or video editing. A standard 60Hz refresh rate is adequate for everyday work but will not provide the smoothest experience for users who are used to high-refresh-rate monitors. Battery life is also somewhat of a mixed bag. ASUS estimates as much as 8 hours of use, but in regular usage, users can likely expect to see 4-5 hours, particularly when streaming or multitasking. This is what one would anticipate from a laptop of this type, but those who require an all-day battery will need to bring a charger along. Security options on this model are a bit disappointing. There isn't a fingerprint reader, so users have to fall back to classic passwords or PINs. There isn't an IR camera for Windows Hello either, which means that facial recognition isn't possible. Even though these aren't must-haves for every user, they do provide an extra level of convenience and security for users who use biometric login. The other area where this laptop lags behind is audio. The speakers available on the laptop are adequate for normal usage but are not as sharp or deep, particularly when listened to on high volumes. The frequent watchers of movies, listeners of music, or users of video calling need to use separate speakers or headphones to get a satisfactory sound output. Even with these limitations, the ASUS Vivobook 14 has some strengths. It delivers strong all-round performance for everyday use, making it ideal for students, office professionals, and mainstream consumers. Wi-Fi 6 built in translates to speedier and safer internet connectivity, which is a godsend for streaming, video conferencing, and working remotely. The keyboard, while rather pliable, is a delight to type on, and the touchpad also features a NumberPad for people who need to deal with figures. Connectivity-wise, the laptop is well equipped with USB ports such as USB-C, HDMI port, and headphone jack. These make it easy to connect peripherals, accessories, and external displays. The ASUS Vivobook 14 is generally a budget laptop that meets the balance requirement between portability, performance for general use, and affordability. It is best for office workers, students, and general users who need a fast machine for work and entertainment. It is not the best for users who need high graphics, high storage, or additional battery life. Even though it's not a beast, it's still the best option for a person who needs a reliable, portable, and tough laptop without breaking an arm and a leg

This is a great laptop for office use and light tasks. It comes with a 13gen Intel Core i5 not the best of the core i5 but with a decent performance. The laptop is light weight compared to others in its class. The battery may last about 2-3 hours doing light intensity task, that’s typical for a laptop at this price range. It comes with a front facing camera that you can block with a “switch” for privacy. This camera is good for zoom and Microsoft teams meetings. Regarding video, the display of this laptop is 1080p resolution. The internal video graphics GPU on this laptop was powerful enough to play videos in 4K smoothly in YouTube and Plex. There are a few items that you need to have into consideration that may or may not matter to you. The laptop comes with (1) HDMI port, you can connect an external monitor and use the monitor of your laptop and an external monitor with it. However, if you want to add a second external monitor (3 total) you can’t because the USB C port does not support display port via USB C. It comes with Wi-Fi 5, under today’s standards at least Wi-Fi 6 or 6E is the standard but to be honest for light task Wi-Fi 5 shall work fine as long you are not dealing with huge number of files over the network. You may be able to play some games, but I don’t recommend buying it for that. I believe this laptop was not designed with that intention in mind. The reason is the SSD that it came with is only 256 GB and a great part of that capacity is taken by Windows 11. Computer games these days take up a lot of space in your hard drive, once you install 1 or 2 games you may not have more space in your hard drive for anything else. The only options will be to add an external hard drive or upgrade the internal SSD with more capacity but be warned that upgrading the internal SSD may void the warranty. It does not have a docking station port. This is very useful in office environments. This basically converts your laptop into a desktop with more USB ports and multimonitor displays. To summarize, in my opinion it is a good office computer for someone on the go. If you need one with a docking station port, I suggest something different. If you plan to use it as a gaming computer I suggest other options. Do I recommend this computer? A BIG YES, if you use it for basic office task and some entertainment like streaming. However, I will remove 1 star because at this time and age Wi-Fi 5 is basically a little bit obsolete, and 256 GB of SSD is not enough these days.

I have not used the laptop yet because it's too small for reading . I would like to change it for a big size if only you allow.

Was missing an audio driver that Asus support had me install Wifi connection poor Battery good 2 to 3 hours only

This computer is strongly recommended for anyone who just needs a good, reliable, reasonably future-proof laptop. The build and software check off all the right boxes, but people with specialized interests or to needs might want to look elsewhere. Very good for people interested in productivity who don't need advanced graphics chips or stereo-grade speakers. The build quality is decent without being remarkable. This will survive ordinary wear and tear for years, but I wouldn't recommend dropping it from too great a height. The screen is pretty good, with good color reproduction and viewing angles. You'll be very happy streaking video or watching a movie with this display. The keys have good travel and feel alright when typing, but don't always feel so sturdy. Sound and speakers are above average, too, without really standing out that much. USB port availability is adequate. In short, this laptop meets all the important criteria for a good, reliable everyday use machine. The laptop, at least with a minimum i5 configuration, is fast enough for everyday use, student, and work needs. Browsing the web or doing basic office work (even some advanced office work) is a snap. It's also reasonably future proof, so you don't need to worry about compatibility issues down the road. 12gb RAM is more than enough for regular use, but the internal storage is a little limited. If you have to upgrade this machine at all down the road, it will be because of internal storage, but of course the cloud, hard drive upgrades, and external storage devices will give you plenty of means of accomplishing this when you need to. Battery life seems to be pretty good, too. The real test is how the battery performs after several months of use, but I haven't reached that point yet. On the software side, the machine includes everything you get with a standard Windows install and reasonably unobtrusive proprietary software. There's minimal bloatware, in other words. In general, this is really great, lightweight machine for anyone with general or business needs who just wants to get a decent computer. You don't need to go overboard with an expensive model that will include features you won't use - this computer will do what you need it to without costing an arm and a leg.

Hated it! Returned to BB. It was slow, graphics were fuzzy and very cumbersome.

Stalled out repeatedly during initial set up. Returned for full refund

1 Star - Because i am yet to get it delivered. The agent on the chat support asked to order the product despite showing as "Out of Stock".

This laptop is clearly in the mid-range space, so I do think it is important to keep that in mind when taking a look at what it bring to the table. With that said, I still think there are some aspects that make me question the overall value it provides. I more or less had an idea how this machine would perform going in, and in most cases, it met my expectations. I could generally multitask, play some media, handle day to day tasks, deal with my “open tab problem,” and edit some pictures without issue. There was the occasional pause and or hiccup here and there, but not that often and nothing egregious. Just something to note. Build-wise, it is a bit hit and miss. It is fairly compact, a nice weight, and it feels solid enough as a whole, although I think the keyboard has a little more give than I was expecting. Additionally, I found the typing experience to be a bit lacking. Spacing was good, and I liked the keys themselves (although not so much the added texture they have), but I didn’t like the responsiveness. Similarly, the trackpad struggled a bit with accuracy. The lack of backlighting is a big miss for me. Separately, while I can see added value in the num pad feature, and I think it is done well, it just isn’t for me. The display, while a good size, is bright, and delivers a fairly crisp picture; but it struggles with accuracy. Moreso with viewing angles. Overall, it is still “good,” but definitely temper your expectations here. Generally, same with the speakers. Honestly, it is about what you would expect in this space. Loud, but without much bass. I will need a bit more time to get a true handle on battery life, but it seems to be about as rated. There are so many factors that go into this with how you use your machine, but I don’t think this will be an issue going forward. Connectivity is also somewhat of a mixed bag. I give them credit for providing variety, with USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and the audio jack…BUT, at the very least I would have loved to see an additional USB-C port. Combined with the fact that there is no USB-C charging, it is only by the barrel port, this is just a big miss for me. As is WiFi 5. Ultimately, I think that is what holds me back from truly liking this laptop. It does perform well in the day to day, and for what it is, but I struggle with some spec choices and value. With a change here or there, I could definitely feel better about it. Maybe give 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, PD charging, WiFi 6, etc… I think with some of that, with what it already delivers, it would be a good choice. As is, while I still will rate it a 4 (although I would go 3.5 if that were a choice), i just think better value can be found elsewhere.
