I love the ASUS motto: "In Search of Incredible" AWESOME!!!!!
I was able to get this on sale on the Best Buy website, by adding it to my 'tell me when there's a deal' option, so if you can be patient that is a great thing to consider taking advantage of.
Things I like: the speed, no more having to walk away when I do a reboot. The screen is nice and clear. The installed software is nice.
Since ASUS is in search of the INCREDIBLE -
In the manual there is a disclaimer that states: there is a risk of possible 'burn in' on AUSU models that have a "OLED" display - it would be REALLY nice if they told you how to determine if your model has a OLED display. - This model: F1605VA-BS74 - is LED NOT OLED - so we good to go.
The power cord is one of those power cords that have a 'box' at the end where the prongs are so when you plug the power cord in, the plug often takes up more than 1 outlet space.
FYI the top paragraph of their manual is FRENCH on page 10 :-)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the backlit keyboard EXCEPT.... when the room is bright......I will need to add some of those stick on keyboard letters - it would be nice if a set was included, OR I love the silver, but white light behind a silver keyboard has very little contrast - maybe a different backlit color
It would be awesome if there was a search function in the ASUS app - let me say this again - IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF THE ASUS HAD A SEARCH FUNCTION :-)
Would be nice to be able to easily print the computer specs from the AUSU app....The only place I found complete tech specs were in a popup window and it would not allow me to copy inside the window - so the only way I would be able to print it would be to do a bunch of screenshots.
Lastly - There was an offer included with the laptop that states :"Register and Receive one year of complimentary Accident Damage Protection (ADP) so that when accidents happen we have you covered. - Which I did - that is I registered my laptop - however in the AUSU app it does not show that I have the coverage - Yes I have contacted ASUS, and to make a long story short they say I DO have the coverage.....I asked when I would be able to 'see' it on my ASUS app, and they do not know.
I would recommend this to a friend

Don’t listen to the uninformed. This laptop supports more that 32 GB of RAM. I am currently running it with 48 GB (the original 16 GB stick plus an additional 32 GB stick). I also replaced the solid state m.2 drive with a 2 TB disc. This thing is a beast, even before the upgrade. The i7 13th gen processor cuts trough my complex Excel files about twice as fast as my old computer.
Also, this laptop runs on Windows 10 or Windows 11, but of course Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 10 soon.
Touchpad is responsive which I really like.
Battery can be replaced by removing the bottom cover if needed. I like that this laptop comes with an empty RAM slot.
Trying to think of any complaints…wish it had an Ethernet port so I don’t have to use my USB adapter. That’s about it.

Purchased this computer for Mothers Day and she loves it. Extremely smooth setup and helpful information for her in the MyAsus app. Definitley reccomend this computer for loved ones that need a no nonsense work machine that gets the job done and looks good doing it. Not to mention exceptional value and performance for the price.

This laptop died 8 days after purchasing it. I brought it back and they confirmed it was completely dead. They asked if I wanted to replace it and I said no, I am not going to try another asus laptop.
We certainly understand your disappointment with this laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused if it died after 8 days o usage. All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections, and are built to last. This laptop breaking after 8 days of usage is a random problem. Hopefully, you will reconsider trying another laptop. If you need more information or further assistance with other ASUS laptop, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,
Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

The ASUS Vivobook 16 with an Intel i7-13620H, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD for $599.99 is a solid mid-range laptop offering good value for the price. The powerful processor handles multitasking and demanding applications well, while the ample RAM and SSD provide smooth performance. It's a great option for students, professionals, or anyone needing a reliable laptop for everyday tasks and moderate productivity work. The 16-inch WUXGA display is a decent size for work and entertainment, though the image quality isn't specified, so it's hard to judge its overall quality. At this price point, it's a compelling choice if you need a balance of performance and affordability.
