Keyboard Warriors Beware! Still a Good Unit So Far

I am a bit slow in switching over to this new laptop from my existing laptop; however, the use I have had with the device has been good.
I am one of those that is more of a "keyboard warrior", so the Fn key is a bit of a pain (likely just need to train my brain and fingers for it) and the setup of the number pad is difficult given the location of the 0 and the period compared to what I am accustomed to. Despite this, glad to have a number pad. These are mostly a problem when the laptop is actually portable. When I am at home, I just use a USB connected keyboard and mouse so I can do things faster.
I have been able to use the laptop solely on battery power for a 4 hour meeting where there was still substantial battery power remaining based on my settings. I had it power up for the coming meeting that day that went over 2 hours again solely on battery power as it'd be attended by many people all fighting for a power outlet.

I've just started using it but so far it's the best! I'm able to store all my documents and there's no problem using it for my classes with the program it needs.
It's fast enough that I can do some gaming to pass the time while also working on my assignments. I quite like this computer compared to my old one. Its good that I'm able to do what I need.

The ASUS brand has been very dependable, The last one that I purchased lasted far longer than the other brands that I had previously purchased. The only reason that I had to replace it was a few sticky keys. The only drawback on this new one is that I didn't realize that it wasn't a touchscreen and I do miss that. All-in-all, ASUS is a very good brand,

I've owned this laptop for about a year and a few months, here's the pros and cons of this laptop that I've noticed so far.
Pros:
Great RAM memory
Good processor and integrated graphics for work and really light gaming
Good fingerprint scanner
Great storage
Built-in webcam privacy cover
Cons:
Keyboard was squeaky on D key from day 1
Screen is matte so scratches are very visible when they happen.
Body line between the touch-pad and the keyboard presses up against the screen while being carried around in a bag, which damages the screen and causes a giant line which is visible while the screen is off and on low brightness.
Cheap build quality (I can twist the laptop easily with my bare hands) + the screen bezels came loose after a few months.
Not usable while on lap (what but it's a laptop?) The touch-pad gets stuck down while you try to use it while resting it on your knee.
An absolute fingerprint magnet, no the fingerprints do not come off easily, even with a cleaner and a rag. If you do try to clean it then you'll end up pressing down on the screen more and damaging it.
Soldered RAM memory
Horrific webcam (makes your skin look smooth though)
CONCLUSION + small issues
Another small problem not enough to be a con is that there's no touch screen, not an issue for me and most. Yet, some people always ask "is it a touch screen??" while dragging their fingers all over the screen and leaving prints. (which are hard to wipe off due to the matte texture)
In conclusion, I think this laptop was sabotaged with it's build quality, it's got pretty good specs and parts, but good God the flimsy plastic body is NOT it.
Personally I'd bite the bullet and just get a macbook air for like an extra $150. OR buy a used macbook or thinkpad, just anything but this.

This laptop is one of the best Asus products I have purchased. It has the large screen, the keypad, and is still light weight. Definitely worth the price!

My custom built 17 inch laptop died and I was looking for a suitable replacement. After doing my research I decided on the Asus Vivobook 16. It's lighter and faster and the display is crisp and bright. It was very easy to setup and start using right out of the box. Geek Squad did the data transfer and it's running all my apps perfectly

An excellent laptop with many features of higher end machines. Back lite keyboard with black case excellent in all lighting conditions. Unit is fast the screen rendering is fantastic. Large enough memory and SSD to handle most if not all requirements. Excellent value for the cost.

I am very pleased with my new ASUS Vivibook 16 because it has all the features I was looking for: screen size, lighted keyboard, 1 TB SSD, 3 USB outlets, and AMD Ryzen 7. All that I was lloking for at a reasonable price and good availability. I also picked ASUS laptop because it has a full-sixed hinge, compared with small hinges which broke on my previuos HP laptop.

Really good laptop; whether it's used for casual everyday use such as web browsing, checking/sending emails, online courses, etc. to online video streaming and gaming, this laptop delivers really good performance and has a nice range of available features. The user interface is really easy to navigate. Best of all, this laptop is super affordable if you don't want to make a mortgage payment just to get a laptop.

I will keep you updated on how this goes after 6 months of ownership and use.
