ASUS Vivobook 16” WUXGA Laptop computer, Intel Core i5-1235U, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 16GB Reminiscence, 512GB SSD, Cool Silver, F1605ZA-AS56

Nice and light
Bought as a xmas gift for my wife, was a huge upgrade to her dying laptop. She surfs the web watches videos and play low demand games and it works fantastic for that.

Good laptop for the price
Got this awhile back. Will try to hit everything.Build quality is good. Even though it is totally made of plastic, it doesn’t feel or look cheap. It does pick up fingerprints quite easily though. The blue color is gorgeous!Keyboard works well. Not a lot of travel to the keys, and it’s not backlit, but it works well. Trackpad is plastic and can be temperamental if you have any kind of liquid on your fingers. Lots of useful shortcuts on the keyboard.Processor, which is the i5-1235u was actually nice. For the price, this machine is dang snappy! Running basic programs is a breeze and some lightweight gaming via Eternium and Legends of Runeterra was smooth and enjoyable.Built in webcam is nothing special but also not horrible.Battery life seems average though I must admit this mostly stays attached to the cord in my bedroom. Battery health is still at 98% after almost a year of ownership with it almost constantly plugged in.SSD is quick and it boots up fast. Was gonna expand the storage and RAM but one of the screws on the bottom casing just does not want to unscrew and might be tightened too much or I ended up stripping it. Not sure which it was.It’s not super lightweight but it’s not a behemoth. For the $400 I paid for it, can’t really complain.Oh, but there is one complaint. The screen. Yes it’s big and Full HD but unless you have it angled JUST right it can look rather washed out with poor contrast. At that perfect angle it does indeed look great though

Slow and lagging
I don’t know much about computers but I’ve been using it for less than 30 days and it’s starting to be very slow. Search engines taking too long for this day and age to load, trying to watch a show on a streaming service isn’t loading and affecting the quality of the show. Now this can’t be the internet because my roommate’s laptop works fine.Also to the person who was trying to call out someone else for it not being touch screen, if something is ADVERTISED and it’s not available they have every right to complain about it, it’s RIDICULOUS for you to even mention themI’m giving another update :It says it’s 512 GB storage but under system>storage it shows 475GB. Plus I have not added any photos, videos, or other programs except downloaded 2 browsers and it’s already at 64.7 GB user with only 411GB available. My old laptop which is 13 years old has more storage and was able to handle multiple programs open open tabs without being so slow. This computer slows if you play one video and have one tab open. I only have a few days left before I can’t return it and I’m just frustrated what the issue is and would be so annoyed if I have to return and search for a new laptop.

I feel like I made the right choice
I’m really happy with the choice. I already own two other laptops, but I needed a Windows device for a specific program I’m using at university, and this has been perfect. The 14” screen size is just right for something you’ll carry everywhere – big enough to work comfortably but compact enough to fit easily in a backpack. Plus, it’s light, which makes it convenient to carry around.For those wondering, it uses an NVMe SSD, but there’s no extra port for adding another SSD, so keep that in mind if you need additional storage later. I’ve added a picture with a water bottle next to the laptop so you can get a sense of the size. All in all, this laptop has been great, and I’m very satisfied with it!

Me encanta la uso para la universidad y me es más que suficiente, no se traba ni nada, tal vez el touch pad sufre un poco de retrosezo por tener la función de teclado numérico al mismo tiempo.

Después de usarla una cuantas semana me doy cuenta que, la laptop suenan bastantes sus ventiladores sin usar programas pesados, solo viendo youtube, la batería no rinde ni las 2 hrs de uso moderado y el peor y más grande fallo es que al intentar encenderla en ocasiones la pantalla se queda negra no permitiendo interactuar, tengo que esperar un buen rato a que se descongele. Cuando lo recibí, un pésimo empaque, sin espuma ni nada, venia jugando en la caja. Al querer hacer el rembolso me dan una cantidad inferior a la que pague por el articulo. Decepción total.

Ya no encendio 3 meses después. Muy desechable
