Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

This Asus Vivobook 14 laptop is lightweight and features reasonable specs and performance for a budget-friendly portable computer. It’s pretty good for productivity, internet browsing, streaming and video calls, but it’s not going to keep up with more highly powered models at tasks like gaming or graphics intensive applications. The speakers get sufficiently loud but can be a bit “tinny” at higher volumes. The display is full HD, and reasonably bright, with slim bezels all around, but the viewing angle isn’t fantastic. There’s no touchscreen, which I don’t mind at all but others might miss. The webcam looks pretty sharp, even in relatively low-light situations, and includes a physical privacy shutter. The keyboard is comfortable, and the trackpad is responsive, although I’m not finding the number pad option (that shares space with the trackpad) to be much of a value-add. If I have a task that needs a numeric keypad, I’d want it to be real, tactile buttons, not just regions of a touch surface (but that’s just me). I was also disappointed to see there is no backlit keyboard, and that there are more USB-A ports than USB-C ports – that seems a bit outdated in 2025. Also, the single USB-C port doesn’t support Power Delivery (so it can’t be used to charge the laptop), meaning this is now the only device in my travel bag that needs its own proprietary charging adapter. Overall, this isn’t a bad entry level model and will certainly get the job done for many people who focus on productivity and browsing. If you want more bells and whistles, or just creature comforts, maybe the next model up will be more your style.

My wife was in need of a laptop that she could use for occasional work and for browsing. The opportunity came up to give the ASUS - Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop a try, so I went for it. One very important thing to keep in mind is that there are color options that you can choose if you are looking to personalize your computer even further. My wife loved the blue color and how sleek the ASUS - Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop looks. My first impressions were that this is a nice laptop for the money. Unfortunately, when I saw the display quality, I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed. With SO many display options that Asus could have gone with, they went with a not so great display. The image quality leaves SO much to be desired. My other Asus laptops have displays that are 10x better than this. Yes, they are more expensive laptops, but I feel like Asus could have done so much better with the ASUS - Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop. The imaging quality is lacking. Something that I did like about the ASUS - Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop is the number keypad that is built into the trackapd. I love that feature and hope that they use on a large percentage of their products in the future. As for performance, as I mentioned before, it is great for some work and more browsing. You don't have lots of memory here, with only 256gb of memory storage. I wouldn't keep so many tabs open on this one like I do with my other computers. Overall, the ASUS - Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop is good, but I would say that there are better options out there for the money.

 ASUS - Vivobook 14 14" FHD Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 12GB Memory - 256GB SSD is the perfect laptop for everyday use. I have owned a few of the Vivobooks and I have never been disappointed with them. They have been flawless in their operating abilities, with everything from your normal web browsing to a little more meticulous workflow process. The battery life is pretty amazing as long as you keep the power-saving features on such as turning the screen off after 10 minutes of no use and allowing it to sleep after 20 minutes or less of no use. However, that's just how I set it when I'm on battery power. Generally, if I'm on battery that means I'm actively engaged with the laptop. Just like any laptop it does require some charging, but it does not take very long at all to get a full battery after almost draining the battery completely. There is also quite a bit of warning to let you know, that you are about to run out of battery life. Overall, I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone whether they are a student or a colleague. I am truly enjoying utilizing this laptop for my everyday use.

I brought this laptop to run basic AI powered personal projects at small scale, and selected this for its handy size, portability and core specs. This has been a great purchase and I’m very satisfied.

This laptop is lightweight and smooth to use. It has plenty of memory. It's all I need!

This could have been an excellent butget option if it had a display with better angle of view. The sharpness id good, and the colors are great when looking at it at a perfect angle, but even then, that perfect angle is so narrow, that the top of the display could be looking perfect but the bottom third would be completely out of wack and washed out. The rest of the machine seems good, excelente keyboard feel, good track pad, atractive blue color, perfect size, light weight, everything excel the budget price except the display, very disappointing.

I always love Asus. I used one in high school and now that I need to get a newer and better device. I’m very impressed with this one. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great laptop for my business. Easy to use. Wish it was a touch screen but other than that it works great.
