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??

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!

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.

I didnt like the small screen. Tiny, but fast internet. Great web surfing. Internet, comes with office 365

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!

The operating system is trash. You can not even connect to the internet

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.

I just use this laptop for some light office work and internet. And it works well so far. It goes slow sometimes, but it is okay for such a little laptop with unexpensive price and I like it very light and it can be made flat standing against the wall so you can stand to read comfortably without holding it

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.

good
