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

This would have been five stars if not for the following: The touch pad which is also supposed to be a method for entering numbers is defective. It simply doesnt work. Intermittent at best.

Perfect size and lightweight but extremely slow. On a strong Wi-Fi connection and web page loading speeds are extremely slow. Even typing in a basic word doc was extremely slow. Would not recommend.

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!!!

Great laptop it’s very compact small. Battery on the laptop lasts long time.

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 ordered this to travel with. The computer arrived fast and set up was really simple. Well, until I tried to download a couple of non MicroSoft (MS) apps and even Facebook. The windows S mode does not allow you to down load any apps that are not from MS. And it would not allow me to down load Facebook even from the MS store. The fix was a bit painful. I took win 11 out of S mode, did a reboot, etc. Still not able to down load non-MS apps or Facebook from the MS store. Searching the net, I found some people had success by reloading Win 11 after taking it out of S mode. I did that, downloaded 11 from the cloud, rebooted and everything is now working fine. Would I recommend this a as basic laptop. You bet!

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.

For the money, this little laptop works well

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.

Ive had this thing for 2 days, and boy can I ever use Microsoft Edge and Spotify at the same darn time. For a $200 laptop, you can do basic stuff in a browser. You can bring this baby anywhere and it has a battery that lasts kind of pretty much a long time. Chrome is a little too much for it, so Im getting acquainted with Microsoft Edge. Its enough to do basic business or student work on. If thats what you want, then by golly thats what youve got. Im taking this thing to the creek and working from home with a fold up chair and my toes in the water. I can write articles, design using Canva, and build websites in Wordpress while listening to music, which is all I need. Thank you, ASUS, for this tiny, tiny affordable laptop that is only good for work stuff. Thats exactly what I was looking for!
