ASUS VivoBook F512 Thin and Lightweight Laptop, 15.6” FHD WideView NanoEdge , AMD R5-3500U CPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10, Peacock Blue, F512DA-EB51

Nearly a week after I purchased the ASUS VivoBook 15, I posted a negative review. My gripes: terrible screen resolution, slow processing, poor sound, the sensitivity of the keyboard, and other issues. ASUS replied t the effect that they were gutted by negative reviews, and I took my post down (I hardly ever leave negative reviews, but I guess I should for the Amazon community). I learned how to deal with this clunky, poorlt manufactured machine. Today, on nearly the one-month anniversary of my purchase of this device, the screen turns off automatically when not connected to power, and I understand from online searches that this is a recurring problem with ASUS, for which ASUS apparently cannot provide customers assistance with. Time to get negative (again). Please save yourself the misery (and money) of purchasing this truly inferior product. I purchased it to replace an Apple MacBook, because I wanted Windows. I wish I never had. Id like to turn this junk back in to see if I can get warranty on it, but I might be more satisfied throwing the device off a cliff.

Description stated that there was 4GB RAM on board and a 4GB module totaling 8GB with maximum support of 12GB RAM. Ordered an 8GB module to max out the memory, opened it up, only one RAM slot and it was populated with an 8GB module. The description did not match the product, ASUS must have updated the system board, and in cost cutting removed the 4GB on board. I promptly returned this item.

Im not sure how helpful this review will be at this time. The computers still practically new. I bought this for my kid whos a junior in high school...thanks to COVID and on-line schooling. Shes been using it now for about 2 weeks and so far its worked flawlessly. She really likes it. Ill throw in the fact that shes also a gamer. She has abandoned both of her game consoles (she has a X-Box and a Playstation) for the computer. Its still early but so far it seems to be well constructed and powerful enough to handle all her needs from virtual zoom classes to gaming.

Le cambie disco por un nvme mas rápido y el computador vuela, buen procesador, buena imagen de pantalla, teclado muy cómodo, rápido wifi.

I have really liked this laptop. Beautiful graphics, works great for running my small business. My only complaint at first was the volume was pretty low on the speakers, so I had to purchase a set of external speakers for some applications to hear well. But right around four months in, the thing crashed in a middle of a video call and wouldnt start up again. I could hear the fan but the screen wouldnt light up at all. I tried some things with tech support but had to mail it in for service. I had no idea that ASUS has no authorized repair centers in California, so I had to mail it to Georgia I think and theyve had it for over a week and there is no estimated completion date on the repair. Im glad I have a Chromebook for backup, because I would be SOL running a business from home with no computer and they didnt offer me a loaner or anything. I may update this review based on how quickly this gets resolved and if it works consistently from here on out, but Ive never had a problem like this with a previous computer and I will make sure to buy from Best Buy in the future so I dont have to deal with mailing my computer out for weeks of service!

Stopped working after 6 months went to check with ASUS to see if 1 year warranty was still a option and the sticker with the serial number is blacked out…. Buyer beware when buying open box items from Amazon

Laptop would not turn on.

Pretty good laptop so far. Excellent screen

It seems the design uses low cost wifi chip. This is my second vivo in the last 12 months.

After having used it for coming to 1 year, I must say its one of the most pleasant laptops I have used (and I have used quite a number, both personal and work, from thin and light to workstation class). It has a large screen despite its size, a full keyboard with numeric keypad, and its light and thin.
