ASUS Vivobook 15 X515JA 15.6" Full HD Laptop (Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Windows 11)

Asus has always been reliable, this laptop is excellent, the screen is bright, not sure what others mean, it’s fast, i7 with 8gig ram, windows 11 was something I wasn’t sure of, but it’s fine, my wife uses this all the time. Superb price

The laptop at £429 with an I7 10th gen (we are on 12th/13 gen now btw) 8gb ram and 512gb SSD is a fairly good deal that you would struggle to beat. The only draw backs I have found is it the build quality isn't great. Lemme explain, there is no physical damage, but the overall laptop chassis is a very cheap feeling plastic which will strain and creek if not supported and is definitely not great if you want something rugged. The trackpad and keys do the job but feel tacky but coupled with wireless peripherals and a decent monitor it will make a future proofed cheap workstation with the powerful processor. Whatever you do try and get at least an I5 even if you're on a budget. DONT TOUCH AN I3 or lower if you can and try not to get over 5 gens out of date. Edit: so far so good only downside is battery last for about 3 hours so needs plugging in semi permanently.

I got the 500gb with i7 and 8 gb ram. So far so good. I've only used it for writing on obsidian and youtube so haven't done any heavy work. Battery life with multiple applications(2 for this example) is 3-4 hrs which is a lot better than my last laptop. If you're looking for a laptop for daily use either at work or at school this one is ideal with more than enoug storage. My only concern with this level of usage is how easily it smudges and how quickly it heats up. I've started disconnecting it when battery is fully charged to minimise long term battery or hardware damage and have been using the laptop on a portable bed table to avoid clogging up the fan from day 1 but unless only one app is open it still heats up fast. I'm hoping I'm just overreacting and this is a normal temperature for the laptop. I'm not sure how good it is for gaming as I mainly game on my phone or ipad so I'll update this review later if I notice anything. I briefly tested the camera and I'd say its adequate for work meetings, nothing bad or exemplary about it. Overall its a good laptop, would recommend if a friend is looking for one in this price range

For the price this laptop is good, nice display and good performance. The web cam not the best quality for teams/zoom calls but good enough Seems well made and doesn't feel cheap like some in the same price range Overall very pleased with it

Bought to replace an 8 year old Windows 10 laptop that was painfully slow to start up and was not worth upgrading. This laptop is almost ready to go instantly you switch on and was very easy to set up and transfer data from the old laptop. The battery life seems good and it charges a lot quicker than the old one. First time I have had an Asus computer and so far I am very pleased with it.

Purchased it as Black Friday deal. The 1st time I opened it, I found the screen is not bright and colour is not vivid as my other 3 laptops. Looks like there is a grey mist on the screen. Contacted Amazon customer service. They confirmed with ASUS that is a defect. And customer service said: we only have 2 in stock now, so can't send you a replacement. If you check later and find the stock is more than 2, please contact us to arrange replacement. The next day I found there are more than 2 in stock. I contacted customer service. They said: this item's price has increased £100. So can't give you a replacement. You can have a refund and re-purchase it. I complained a few times and all customer services just tell me that I can't have a replacement. I ask what is the policy or reason, no one tell me that, just keep saying: this item can't have replacement... Really waste of time.

Asus is a very trusted brand and I have been pleased with this laptop. The battery life is a bit disappointing but as I use it mostly connected to the mains supply it`s not a major concern. Windows 11 is installed and works well enough but I was use to Windows 10 which I liked a lot more.

Part of the reason for the downgrade, to 4 stars rather than 5, is that this is described as a laptop with windows 11 installed. It is not !!!! It is windows ready. Before I could install windows 11, the laptop had to download and install every conceivable update for windows 10, which was installed. After all that, process was easy. I haven't been able to pin down what is different about the keyboard, yet, to my Dell Latitude, but something definitely is. Possible the size of the keys. Accepted my "one Drive" download perfectly, and my "Google" Cloud download also. Does seem to be fast. I have not rated battery life yet, as that seems a little unfair, and I do not game, so cannot comment. However, so far seems excellent value for money, at the price that I paid with the Prime discount. Sept update. I have now been using this laptop, on the road, for over a week. I am now used to the keyboard, and it is fine. The speed and colour clarity is amazing. Good battery life, at laest compared to my old Dell, and the charging time is fast !! Overall an excellent buy.
