ASUS VivoBook 15 F1500EA Slim Laptop, 15.6 FHD Display, 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 Processor, 4GB DDR4, 128GB NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home in S Mode, Indie Black, F1500EA-AS31

I realize this is a $200 laptop. But still, the basic hardware ought to work, especially a new-model machine fresh out of the box. First time using it I noticed though it was plugged it was not charging. Jiggling/moving the power cord causes it to erratically charge, then stop charging. I don’t know at this point if the issue is the cord or the port, but it is definitely hardware related. Next I tried plugging it into my docking station using the USB-C port. Windows makes the “connected hardware” sound, but there is zero video output to my monitors and the machine doesn’t charge. USB-C port appears DOA as far as I can tell. Really disappointed because I read good reviews, the machine feels solid, and I love the size. But if the basic features don’t work straight out of the box, what’s the point??

I would never have bought this had I realized it would force me to use a Microsoft account to log in to use it at all. I will probably send it back. I dont need one more dumb thing to sign into.

good

If you are on a strict budget this is not a bad machine. If you want to teach someone patience this is an excellent machine. Good starter computer for kids. Now I bought this believing it was a new machine. When I tried to register with ASUS I was informed it had already been registered which says this is a used machine. I am not pleased with that. For streaming and simple tasks this is a good machine. It does not multitask that well. Also the screen is a bit small for gmail if you have the emails and the preview screen open together. If you open each mail individually you’ll probably be ok. Very light so good for travel and the battery seems to last fairly long even when streaming. The 128Gb of storage should be good for lost especially if you use a cloud storage service.

I had high hopes for this laptop. I got it mainly to transport back and forth from home to work for my schooling. Well, its SUPER slow, freezes at the most inconvenient times and the keyboard likes to stop working too. Spend a little more money and get a better laptop.

Received this laptop today for my fiancé and I must say it’s not a bad laptop! Normally in this price range, you’d expect to only find cheap Chromebooks but this has Windows 11 (Not S Mode) and for only having 4gb Ram, it still runs great!! East to setup and downloaded all updates, no issues so far! Highly recommend!!!

I got this to be able to work when Im traveling. I needed something basic with email, internet, Excel and Word. Something that wouldnt take up space in my carry-on. To get this at such a bargain price is awesome. Set up was so easy. Im in love with this little marvel. Only problem is that the integrated number pad, which I was so excited about, doesnt work for the purpose i needed it for, which was accents in other languages.

can run terraria and don’t starve from what i’ve tested

Es una computadora que cumple con su función, y es la de ayudar en tareas BÁSICAS, por un precio así no se puede pedir más la verdad, si necesita un pc solo para tareas, correos, documentos no muy pesados, este pc es ideal, ya que a parte de ser económico, es pequeño, ideal para cargar a cualquier lado y eso favorece mucho. Si esta buscando un portátil para jugar o diseñar o cosas por el estilo este computador obviamente NO le va a servir porque es muy acorde a tareas pequeñas. A mí me sirvió mucho, de hecho me encanto, necesitaba un pc portátil para cuando salía de mi casa a responder correos y uno que otro whatsapp, de resto no lo uso para más y por ese motivo es que es una muy buena compra. El único aspecto a destacar que no me gusto es que si se ensucia muy rápido, es inevitable que las manos tengan grasa o sudor y cuando uno toca el portátil se notan las marcas de la mano y los dedos, pero es algo que no se puede reprochar para su precio. A parte los materiales si son buenos, no conozco mucho de pcs pero lo que he visto son materiales decentes, baratos pero buenos.

Brand new laptop that crashes and freezes. Hard drive errors on start up. Web browser freezes simply printing a shipping label. Cannot perform the most basic tasks. I’m not a picky or demanding guy but this laptop is terrible.
