ASUSVivobook Laptop, 14" FHD Display, i3-1215U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6, HDMI, Webcam, Touchpad, Windows 11 Home, Blue

Update: Just took a trip with this new computer. I bought a laptop sleeve for it and I could not be happier with how easy it was to travel with this little thing. My wife always commented on the weight of my backpack and it was mostly the computer. it was so much heavier. In all fairness, it had a metal top and a 12hr battery, so it was going t be heavier. But this is so much easier to carry around. I do notice fingerprints a lot more and the battery life is not as long, but for the price, I'd buy it again and recommend it.I had an Acer business laptop since 2018. It was a bigger, heavy-duty laptop and was also pretty heavy. I was on a cruise the month of March and it just died. I frustratingly searched for a lightweight computer with suitable power for my needs. So many processor options with too many versions of each. Then there was the question of RAM and storage and screens... I also really liked Windows 10 Pro but support for that is ending. Then I realized I don't need a workhorse computer anymore. I settled on this and got the 24GB RAM with 1TB SSD. I don't need the extra storage but I do like RAM. I was searching for a Ryzen 5 processor but in the end this Intel i3 gen 12 processor seems to be just fine for me. It was easy to setup and required about 20min to do. I like the speed and I really like the light weight. The keyboard feels nice. It is not backlit like my previous Lenovo and Acer, but I don't mind. I'm not blown away by the screen, but it is better than the screen on my previous much more expensive unit and fine for me. Also, the touchpad has a number pad feature that can be turned on and off. I think I'm going to like that. I have not tried to install any software yet. I do have Microsoft Office Home also purchased through Amazon (I previously had the pro version). I'm wondering if I'll ever need Office again. That's a decision I'll have to make before the return window closes.My wife and I are traveling a lot more these days and this thin 14" laptop will make it much easier. Everything, including the power supply is smaller and lighter than my previous laptops. That will definitely make this much more friendly for travel.

the specs are great for the price, but this has to be the worst touchpad ive ever felt in a laptop lmao. very jumpy and misses movement. the numberpad on the touchpad is totally a gimmick, and not a good one at all. the placement of the off/on button is right where your right hand would brush up against (which is crazy because i can brush my hand on it to turn it on, but i have to smash down on the pad to turn it off, and it doesnt even want to respond to that sometimes). what ends up happening multiple times a day is i turn it off and i think im fine, so im scrolling on something and all of a sudden the calculator is staring at me and it has 6 typed into it. no way to turn it off without turning off the entire touchpad. and i use this for school so of course im gonna be relying on this pad now.oh well. everything else is solid. SSD is great, battery lasts enough for a full day of work, charges very quickly, and its pretty slim. windows 11 is windows 11, love it or hate it. if this laptop was this laptop minus the gimmick touchpad, it would be perfect. if you use a mouse, knock yourself out

This laptop has been used for a few months by me, I have done python development & played Xbox. The laptop does both well, especially since I only paid $304. The battery lasts longer without Xbox gaming even when coding, it dies charge quickly if plugged in, so if not plugged in expect with typical use atleast 5 hours of battery life, that if you are using YouTube or Tiktok & browsing the internet.

The media could not be loaded. This review is for the Vizio book 14 inch, with the i3 processor and 16gb of ram.The model per the computer is x1404za. It's not listed on Amazon but that's what it is.First this has pretty good hardware for the price of ~$300. The processor is about 4x better than the i7 in my old (10 years) laptop. The ram is fast. DDR4 3200 Mt/s which is very good and not listed so figured I'd let yall know.On task Manager it says it has Intel 8gb GPU. But I do not think this laptop has a dedicated GPU. So this might be a semi -lie. Basically it's a software that converts the CPU processor into GPU functions. But that's not the same as a dedicated GPU. Intel doesn't make GPUs anyhow.It's not a gaming laptop (regardless of the 8gb GPU listed) and I don't plan to even try to run games from it. It's probably going to be perfect though for viewing videos or anything like that.It's a work laptop for me so as long as I can do zoom, PowerPoints, and some stats software, it's prefect.The laptop is light weight which will be nice considering I pack it around daily.Additionally the housing is aesthetic. I also really like the number pad option.The screen seems pretty good. I have a 4k TV and looking back and forth, the laptop screen seems about the same quality and resolution even though technically, it's not. But it does look good.Be sure to do all the updates and bios updates when you get it. You will need a Microsoft email to set up Windows. That's how Windows works since a few versions back. Hotmail email works fine.It didn't come with a bunch of bloatware, for once! I appreciate that. Nothing like spending hours removing junk from a brand new PC. Glad they stopped doing that nonsense.Overall , had it a week. Works great. No complaints.
