Best Buy Always Has What I Want
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im an HP person so switching to ASUS recommended by a co worker is a big step. I was actually deciding on getting a Dell. I purchased ASUS with a 17" monitor which is perfect for me. Even for its larger screen size its slim line build makes it lightweight and easy to take with me. It has everything I need to use as a work laptop which made it convenient. Its speed is perfect with a 1tb capacity so I have a large storage even tho alot of my stuff is in the cloud. Customer service is still great both in store and online and I only buy my technology from Best Buy.

Perfect Starter Laptop for School and Lite Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop for my daughter. It is great for schooling, browsing and light gaming. Light gaming such as Steam, EA games and Origin. The speed is decent for someone who downloads a decent amount of mods and stores pictures, files and doing browsing for research.

New Year, New Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went into the store with a certain laptop in mind. When I told to clerk what my requirements were, I was introduced to the Vivobook. After an easy set up, it was easy to see the difference between this and my previous laptop. If you are in the market for a new laptop, feel free to consider this one.

This laptop like a theater on the go, its massive. Im a big tall dude so those little laptops got my fingers pressing two keys at once. But this one has plenty space. Like a full size keyboard. THANKS BEST BUY FOR AWESOME DEAL. ALWAYS CHECK IN WITH THESE GUYS BEFORE ANYWHERE ELSE.

Great laptop for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Saw this laptop on sale for 50% off and was impressed by the memory/screen size for the price, but was also leery after reading many of the reviews. I figured I had 15 days to return it if it was that bad, so I went ahead and ordered one. The laptop was delivered the next day at no additional cost. During the initial setup and seemingly endless updates to download/install, it was rather unimpressive and slow. But once everything was up to date and out of S Mode, it's been great. Don't let the negative reviews scare you away. The screen resolution and battery life could be better. A backlit keyboard would also be nice, but for under $400 I am very happy with it.

Adjusting to my laptop with ease.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the weight, and it doesn't get too warm when it is on my lap. The screen works great and I can adjust it to fit my sight based on the time of day. The speed has been great for me, little delay when I want to game or just produce documents. I like how easy it is to make adjustments as I get to use my laptop more and more.

Great new purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, so good. This is much faster than my previous Asus. Easy to use tho wish the "num lk" could be set to stay on ala "caps lock". Love this product. Only critique is the gray keyboard - (which I like) but if using the laptop under a lot of light, it is difficult to read the keyboard. Recommend!!!

Nice laptop if you do some upgrades
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you catch this on sale and do a couple of upgrades this is a very capable laptop. The two big draw backs on this computer is the physical harddrive and 12gb of memory. I was lucky enough to catch this on sale as an open box. First boot up was almost 5 minutes next was 2.5 to 3 minutes. I picked up pny 2.5 inch ssd 1tb and cloned the harddrive installed and boot time drop to less than 30 seconds. Next upgrade was to the memory the laptop comes with 4gb soldered to the board and only one memory slot I maxed it out with a corsair 16gb stick for a total of 20gb. There appears to be plenty of room to just run two memory slots but I get it how can we build it cheaper. Also not impressed with the computer coming in windows 11 s mode. I was trying to surprise my sister with buying her a new laptop for her birthday. Windows when in streamline mode will not allow you to install anything outside of the Microsoft store onto your computer like Chrome or a third-party dish cloning software. So I had to setup a Microsoft account for my sister to unlock windows from s mode aita. So to recap do i think the laptop is worth normal price without upgrading harddrive and memory no. Is the laptop a smoking hot deal when on sale for 1/2 off yes. After my upgrades and adding office 2016 total cost of my build was under 500 dollars about 460. At that price point I think you will be hard press to find a laptop with i5 cpu 1tb ssd 20gb of ram and a 17.3 in screen. The only other draw back is the coloring used on keyboard silver on sliver is just hard to see would have been better if they used black keys and sliver lettering or added a back-lit keyboard. I like this laptop at the price I paid for it

Budget-Friendly Beauty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Asus Vivobook laptop for my daughter as a birthday present and could not be happier with my decision. She absolutely loves it. The Vivobook has good battery life. My kiddo makes digital art and switches between her iPad and a Huion tablet. The Asus laptop has a 17.3" screen and when she uses her tablet, she can't believe how beautiful, bright and clear the display is. She is used to using a 15.6" laptop, but the larger size on her Asus makes a difference we weren't expecting. The Vivobook is quick and has a lot of storage space for her artwork. Also, she plays Genshin Impact, Roblox, Minecraft, and The Sims 2, 3, AND 4 on it. She has all the stuff packs and extensions plus custom content in addition to two or three different art editing programs that she uses and there still isn't any lag. I happily recommend this laptop to anyone looking for quality at a bugdet-friendly price. If I am being honest, I really want to take it from her and make it my own!!! I am giving it 5 stars and would give more if I could. Oh, one last thing, if you are unsure of what to purchase, please take advantage of the help Best Buy customer service offers. I spoke with a representative, they asked questions about what the laptop I was looking to purchase would be used for, I told them and also explained I was on a STRICT budget. The rep I worked with LISTENED, and gave me several options, and a few of them weren't listed on the website. I searched on the website and the laptop I was going to choose was not as powerful and didn't have as big of a display as the Vivobook. The Vivobook was also less expensive than the laptop I thought I was going to buy. If I wouldn't have sought help, I wouldn't have known about the Vivobook. I am very thankful the rep I worked with helped me the way they did. I'm sorry this is so long, but I am so happy I made the decision to go with the Asus Vivobook instead of another laptop and I want to let everyone know how awesome it is!!! Take care and stay safe!

Very good top entry level laptop.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this laptop for a Christmas present for my daughter. So far she is loving it. Excellent screen. Excellent keyboard. The processor is super fast. Being used mostly for school so she hasn’t yet discovered or used every feature this laptop possesses. The laptop is a great deal. It has a large footprint so be aware if you are looking for a small laptop. It’s mostly used on a desk so it is hardly backpacked but it does fit normal backpacks. It’s nice to look at and not heavy.
