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

Have had the laptop with an m.2 drive for a little over a year and a half. It performed well under loads for different engineering tasks. But had to upgrade ram to it would perform better. It has issues with booting to bios and looping sometimes. However now it only sometimes sees the m.2 drive and is stuck booting to bios. It is a hardware issue. However cant tell if it is the m.2 or the motherboard yet. Hopefully can get the information off the drive for research.

Works well for work and gaming

This is the best laptop I have ever owned. Super fast, works perfectly ALL the time. Super light weight, quiet, and cool temp.

To be transparent, I bought the version of this with Ryzen 3. It was plenty fast for office productivity and online use. HOWEVER, after only a week, I had to return it to the local retailer where I purchased it. I had to call ASUS three times in one day when the screen dimmed so much on battery that it was not going to be usable. The fix they walked me through worked for the screen, but deleted the battery icon in the task bar. I called a second time and the original problem with the screen returned. The third call finally took care of it. Then, a new problem cropped up, I kept getting an alert that it couldnt connect to my network and I had to let diagnostics fix it each time I logged on. I called ASUS for the fourth time and they walked me through a fix and said it should work fine. The problem, however, remained and I am not going to go through network diagnostics every time I log onto a new computer. There were also other problems: a touchpad that was so sensitive it was always minimizing the window, it had a really fragile power pack that got super hot, and the speakers worked fine for music but speaking voices were inaudible. Im really disappointed. The price was right, but it was the only thing that was. There were just too many problems in the first week that it did not bode well for the life of this product. I wondered if I got a lemon, and should give them another chance, but after my experience, and reading the negative reviews here I have been scared away from ASUS.

Starts up in the BIOS about every 10th wake up. The WiFi stops working occasionally. Regret this purchase.

Great value.

Really a good machine for my light gaming college age daughter doing premed.

Great computer

This is the first laptop that I have bought that was not a big brand. I normally stay with Dell, Lenovo, or HP. I have to say the unit has performed just as well as any of the big company names. I do not play any big action games but I do play some golf games, Farmville, and puzzle games. They all work great. I have had it for about a month and the scene has a great picture, the speed is very good, and the battery life does very well. With this computer, you get your bang for the bucks. I would buy this again if needed.

I’ve only had/used this laptop for a day so far. I do a decent amount of video editing and 3D modeling so if your into that, this review is for you.
