Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Vivobook's price, ease of use, ample RAM and storage, and lightweight design. However, many users cite concerns regarding the keyboard quality, particularly the key color and lack of backlighting, and report shorter than expected battery life. Slow boot times were also a common complaint. The large size of the laptop was mentioned as a drawback by some users.

    Pretty slow considering the processor it has. Took over an hour to set up. Takes a while to boot up after starting. Takes a little longer than normal to move from page to page. Battery life is a little shorter than most. Was going to return them (bought two) but waited too long and time ran out.

    I bought this laptop with the intention of having an easier and more accessible platform for smaller tasks - a quick search, mindless home improvement scrolling, online shopping, etc. - as well as some possible future school work. It was an easy, quick set up with various options that can be changed/updated at a later time. Battery life is slightly disappointing to me personally but, of course, is attributed to the various uses and options that are currently active. Overall, a good laptop that I really enjoy but I would recommend trying to get it on sale to really increase value.

    I've had this laptop for just over a year now, not lookung for a warranty issue or anything like that, my issue is, it has always been slow, slow to start windows, slow to open programs, just slow. I purchased as a work pc, am retired and have had some health issues and over the last year had 4 surgeries so the laptop has not been used. The internet used with this laptop is from a iphone hotspot. When turning on today, took 20 minutes to start windows and got a popup stating needed to update windows, beeing it is so slow and with hotspot, I brought it home to use on Spectrum High speed internet and went to windows update, has been setting for over 2 hours with scrooling bar below Checking for updates window, DON'T BUY ASUS laptop !

    Slow! I've had this laptop for a few months now, and I've wanted to throw it up against the wall several times. I've updated the RAM to 20gb, and it still lags line crazy! It takes on average 5 minutes to boot up! I hate this computer!

    It is slow but gets the job done and is very affordable. The HDD and i5 processor make this slow to startup and navigate. The battery life is short too and this may be because of the HDD versus the SSD. The keyboard is not backlit which normally wouldn't be an issue, but the keys are silver and the characters are light gray. The keyboard is definitely the worst part of the laptop. It does feature USB and HDMI ports which is really nice and it has a classic, clean look. Unfortunately, I will be returning the laptop.

    I like the laptop and have not had any issues with it. I am giving it a 4 because the battery life for minimal usage seems to be poor. I need to charge the battery daily which I would expect with game play or video viewing but with only email review it was a bit of a disappointment. The charging cord could be longer. Norton was included, but I will not be bothering with the free trial since you have to give them a credit card and set your subscription to automatic renewal to get it. You can cancel it right away but since I have to even share a credit card, I will not use it.

    The worst laptop I have ever bought and owned. Even after deleting the unnecessary programs and not saving any documents on it, it still froze. Took forever to boot up and constantly having to restart it just to get it to work. The laptop was very heavy. Uses it less than a year. Should have just returned it when I had a chance.
