Great computer, great value

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020

This is so light and easy to carry with you. Love everything about it. The only problem I can see for some people would be not having a backlit keyboard. I am fine with it but I know it may be a problem for some. Great value.

power cord

New laptop TODAY and I'm already propping up the power cord. After a week of waiting for late delivery I got a lemon.

A great laptop, only the keyboard need to be lighted. Battery life is too short.

Bios doesn’t support booting from usb.

The bios doesn’t let you boot from usb. So, I can’t install Linux.

The seller was great in trying to help, the laptop is fine, just I only got this to trash the windows install and put Linux on it and I can’t do that without being able to boot from something other than the internal SSD, which this bios doesn’t support.

Bad Screen

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020

Capacity: 12GB RAM | 256GB SSDStyle: Windows 10 HomeVerified Purchase

I purchased this device for my senior-aged mother, and unfortunately, other reviewers were right about the viewing angle on the VivoBook. It is washed out and gray at most angles. I've found I have to tip the screen toward me (an acute angle) to see much of anything. I didn't think the lack of backlighting for the keyboard would matter too much, but I definitely wish it had it now. It's an alright device for the price, but the screen problem alone would prevent me from recommending it to anyone else.

I was so happy with the first Asus I bought a few weeks ago, I bought another one for the business. This model is fast and the lighted keyboard is great. It also is very light and the battery charge lasts longer than expected.
