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

This laptop is perfect for general use and for todays online student. The screen is vivid and clear, thus rendering reading fine print and documents easy on the eyes. There is no visible, annoying lag between typing commands and loading applications. The keys are visible at night and it is good value for money. If, however, you are an online gamer, wish to edit 4K YouTube videos, teach a class of university student remotely...this is not the laptop for you. Know the purpose of your purchase. If you spent $480 on a laptop and expect a fifteen hundred dollar performance...you will be disappointed.

Disappointed that after much research and questions asked, the 256gb SSD model version comes much different than the 128GB 1TB HDD model. Reason being only having 1 dual rank slot for RAM in the 256GB SSD Model capping this device to only 16GB of Ram max capacity where as others say its upgradable to 32GB with open Dual slots. Wished more information was provided about this product for the consumer by ASUS and seller. Although it is similar, they are not identical. The F512DA seems to be less upgradable friendly than the F510ua model. If Asus will take back their 8gb Memory stick and provide me at 16GB at half the cost I will happily give 5 stars, otherwise if one wants to upgrade their ram memory, youll be left with an extra stick of ram as a paper weight.

Had to replace a 4/5 yo laptop that I found myself rebooting at least twice a day. Always admired Asus since the HDX7 days, so I thought Id try it.

Love my new laptop

Im in love with my new laptop! Battery life is not too great when youre playing, but nothing to worry about. This is a great product.

I purchased this laptop in January. By May, I had touchpad issues where it randomly clicks. Now I have that plus the screen randomly goes to black or blocks of black squares. I contacted ASUS customer service and now I have to ship my laptop to them, then wait for them to repair it and send it back to me. They have no partnership with local repair shops so I have to wait an additional 14 days of shipping round trip, plus repair time. I shouldnt have any issues with a new laptop in the first place and if I do, the fix should be easy and convenient. Do not buy this laptop or any ASUS laptop. I wont purchase from ASUS again.

This was a cool laptop. It was good for simple school work. Nothing major. It could run light games like league of legends and overwatch on high settings. It was very loud though. Kind of started turning heads in classes because it would become loud for no reason while just chilling in class.

Good luck trying to uninstall the McAfee bloatware and nonstop popups pre installed on the computer.

I needed a laptop and Im glad I found this one, it works amazing its all I could ask for in a laptop. An amazing affordable laptop for college.

Perfect for home & office use. Multiple open apps and chrome tabs open with no problem. Build quality is mid range.
