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 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!

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

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.

Screen pixels are very low and the processor is very slow. It would be a pain to use it if you’ve been Macs.

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

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??

Gracias por el excelente producto mi hija está contenta.

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