  • Great Value For What I Wanted
Style: Standard
I've had the ASUS Vidbook with Intel core i3 (many of these reviews seem to have AMD chips as well) for only a week now but I'm very impressed. What I like first. Pro's: 1. I like the screen. I've seen reviews that say the screen is basically trash. Well the model I have it's great for what I want. I've owned anywhere from 8 to 10 laptops in my life from Dell to Sony and I like the screen on the ASUS. Mainly due to the fact it's not overly saturated bright. Its more of a soft natural light almost like reading a piece of paper vs bright blues that give headaches and eyestrain. 2. I really like the keyboard so far (not sure how it will hold up with time) Key strokes are easy and the back lighting is just right. 3. It's fast for what I'm doing. Load up speed is great, there isn't much if any bloat ware to deal with which i've found on Dell and other computers. I'm mainly surfing the net, streaming videos, creating power point presentations etc... 4. One of the main things I like about this computer is that it is light weight especially at the price, your getting a relatively light weight computer with a fairly standard size keyboard and screen without paying Apple prices. Cons: 1. It's hard to think of some con's but one is that the computer comes with Microsoft 10S, which is easy to turn off to 10 Home, using instructions to do so. 2. The battery life isn't the greatest considering I'm not gaming. I would say your getting about 6 to 7 hours for simple computing. I'm sure is fine but I figure be nice if it was 8 to 10 hours, but at this price can't have it all. Overall I would highly recommend this computer for the price, look, and feel. It has everything you would need for school, most business travel and everyday home at a good price. ... show more

  • Better than I'd hoped
Style: Standard
I was looking for a laptop to replace my 8yo behemoth. My criteria were: lightweight, 8gb RAM, 64gb+ SSD, 1080p, with a full-sized HDMI port (no mini), Windows OS. I wanted it mostly for web browsing, word processing, and some fairly light gaming (modded Minecraft, Java version). After about a month, I am so far satisfied with this computer for all of those tasks. In fact, it surpassed my expectations in regards to gaming. I expected that it would be incapable of running more than a couple of mods, but so far it's taken everything I've thrown at it. I have not overclocked the processor (intentionally, anyway - perhaps windows does it automatically now?), and as such am operating at the stock 2.3Ghz (I think). I was slightly worried about purchasing this due to the reviews that commented about the screen quality/viewing angles. However, I am happy to report that I have not had any issues with screen visibility or warped edges. Perhaps I am simply plebian in my tastes, but it looks fine to me. It came with Windows 10 S, which I certainly did not want, but it was perfectly easy to disable. The backlit keyboard is honestly a lifesaver. I hadn't specifically sought out this feature, but it's fantastic. It comes with various brightnesses instead of a toggle, which frankly is unnecessary because the lowest setting is plenty bright. However, as mentioned in other reviews, it does cause a significant hit to battery life (or so it seems). The battery life is my only quibble, but admittedly, I believe that's mostly due to my usage rather than the machine itself. I have multiple Chrome tabs running at all times, as well as Visual Studio Code, and frequently Minecraft as well. At this level of usage, the battery lasts on average 2-3 hours. I haven't timed it though, so that is simply an estimate on my part. All in all, I am much happier with this $300 laptop than I was with my old laptop, which 8 years ago was twice the price. No doubt you can find better performance with a higher budget, but if you are tight on money, I highly recommend this device. ... show more

  • Great price. Works well. Terrible (but switchable) Windows 10-S. Fair amount of bloat.
Style: Standard
First Year Update: So after a year of owning this laptop, I want to bring up a few issues. First off, the bluetooth adapter has failed. I have to use a USB bluetooth dongle now. Not certain if this is a prevalent problem, or something that's an easy fix, but I am where I am. Secondly, the fan problem has gotten worse, as this laptop will immediately spike to 95-100C CPU temps under regular loads, and idles at about 35-50C. Cleaning the fans and vents did little to alleviate the issue, so I'm thinking it's an issue with build quality. Lastly, and actually a bit of a compliment, the laptop still works just fine regardless. Considering the price and what you're getting, it's still totally worth it and has served me well. I needed a backup in a pinch when my main workhorse desktop needed repairs, and it handled the Adobe suite with no problem. Original review: Did not work right out of the box. This is not a problem with this laptop, however. It is a problem with Windows 10, and affects multiple users: I got stuck on a blue screen during the initial Windows 10-S configuration. To get around this, do not establish an Internet connection while configuring Windows 10-S. Skip that step. Select "I do not have an Internet connection." It will save you a massive headache. Set up your Internet connection after Windows has finished setting up. If you're stuck on that screen, and cannot go back to the Internet configuration step, power down your router and restart the laptop (hold the power button for 5 seconds, wait 10 seconds, power on the laptop). It will restart the Windows 10-S configuration from the beginning, and with the router off, you can select "I do not have an Internet connection" at that step. Windows 10-S is also an awful proprietary mess. It does not let you download or install programs I require for some reason, rendering the whole OS absolutely worthless. It's an obnoxious closed ecosystem on hardware sorely lacking engineering that makes such an ecosystem beneficial. Fortunately the laptop let me install a proper version of Windows for free through the Microsoft store, so only minor point deductions for just being a hassle, and not requiring an additional purchase. The screen is about what you expect from a cheaper laptop. Nothing fancy. Certainly not something for optimum media or gaming experience. Picks up lots of glare, fades significantly when viewed at even slight angles, the usual issues. Bonus points, though, for outputting at native 1080p resolution, a major selling point for me getting this laptop. The fan in it is LOUD. Whenever it's writing data, installing a program, or on resource-intensive websites, that fan goes at full speed, and it goes for a few minutes after these tasks have completed. It's pretty evident that this laptop struggles with cooling, as the CPU temperatures frequently spike to 90-100C while under load, and can take a few minutes to return to idling at the expected 35C. (Update: The temperature issues have gotten a little worse over the year I've owned this laptop, with temps idling around 45-50C, even after cleaning the fans and vents and doing a fresh install of Windows.) Overall, as far as medium-range laptops go, it's decent. Gets the job done. It runs Photoshop 2019 just fine, and Photoshop 2021 about as well as Adobe's functionally broken mess can. It handles older games pre-2015 no sweat. Just might be a headache to configure and optimize right out of the box. But if you know what you're doing, and intend to use this laptop for mostly work-related activity or web browsing on the go, it's perfectly fine. The extra hassle is worth the money saved. ... show more
