Posted .Dear Photodude1961,
Thank you for your comment.
Windows 11 includes several new security features, making it even more resistant to viruses and malware. Better compatibility with hardware and software. It is better optimized for today's hardware and software, meaning you'll likely experience fewer compatibility issues.

- Pros mentioned:Processor speed, Screen size
Slick, Big, Light, and quick
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very powerful, but light laptop for your overall needs. Easily will replace any old desktop you have, and get you on the move and the flexibility you need. Quick boot up time. Power up to login screen, is just a few seconds away, silent as well. No winding fan or hard drive. Everything is solid state, so runs fast. Pre installed with Windows 11, but will need a good 20-30 minutes to do all the latest updates, so if you are in a hurry... for that first usage, give it just a little more time. Full keyboard, with number pad... which is rare these days... so that is good for those that need it, no external number pad necessary. Small power block, about the size of a deck of cards. Small nit-pick, I wish this had a usb-C power input, so it can easily use some of the fine 3 party power blocks out there.. as a traveler it is easy to forget a power block, and just need more then one. Screen is big and bright, very easy to see everything... no disappointments there. Good sound out of the speakers, but also has all the modern connectivity for headsets. WiFi 6, was getting almost 700mb download speeds, so a solid performer there as well.
- Pros mentioned:Processor speedCons mentioned:Keyboard backlight
Giant mousepad saves the day
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop sacrifices certain features to stay light but powerful, such as not having a disc drive, touch screen, or backlit keyboard. As a result, the laptop is able to sustain having a 500 GB hard drive, an a speedy processor. The graphics card however is a bit simple and can only handle the load of a casual gamer, so nothing too hardcore that requires the strength of a full PC. I wouldn't recommend if that's what you are looking for. The orientation of the keyboard is interesting and compact. The buttons are smaller and quieter for easier typing. Soft buttons and fast processor are key upgrades for laptops, but I was not expecting the mousepad to be so smooth and responsive. I prefer a mouse to a mousepad but this mousepad is so big it covers twice the space of a regular mousepad and that helps with production. In my opinion, the mousepad stole the show. Consider it a better chromebook with a bigger mousepad. An excellent contribution to any college student or person working from home.

Nice Asus
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice computer. Perfect size for me. I like the pen and pad option. I can had 50+ windows open at same time and no problems. Grandson can play games and does not complain about lag.

Awesome Laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Laptop is A M A Z I N G! I got it on sale and it was a steal. I can run multiple programs that require a lot of processing power and it’s no problem. It also has an amazingly battery life, even when I use it to play games. Great all around laptop.

Happiness is Best Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had brought in my old laptop, which was on its last leg and Brendan brought it back long enough for me to buy a new one. Brendan gave me info on three laptops and after talking with my sons, decided on the Asus. Nick was also influential on my decision, explaining the basics of the Asus and similarity to my old Dell and ease of transition. Chris was there to take my old Dell and took charge for the transfer of information to the Asus. I also explained I would need someone to help me transition and actually log in to the Asus and he said that would not be a problem. Everyone was so great. I love my new computer and am enjoying it very much.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Processor speed
Great choice in a laptop.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this laptop for my wife as an upgrade from her old laptop.

Asus Vivobook 16"
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a great laptop with Wi-Fi 6 and a solid choice for daily use (e.g., academics, web searching, media consumption, work, etc.). I like the Quiet Blue color. However, it is not a touch screen. It also does not support USB-C charging. It has a dedicated charging port that is specifically designed for the included power adapter. This means that you'll need to use the included charger to power up the laptop, and you won't be able to use a USB-C charger or power bank as an alternative.
