ASUS VivoBook 15 F515 Thin and Light Laptop, 15.6” FHD Display, Intel Core i3-1005G1 Processor, 4GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB PCIe SSD, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10 Home in S Mode, Slate Grey, F515JA-AH31

This was everything I wanted in a laptop. Fast, light and easy to carry. The battery last for hours and the backlit keyboard is great at night.

Ill preface this by saying Im a more advanced user. I have been repairing computers casually for 2 decades. I think this computer could be good but 4GB of memory is way too low. Im only running a few windows of Chrome and the thing has become unusable with constant hang ups. The memory is maxed out. You will need to upgrade this laptop immediately. I would not buy this if you dont know how to make the upgrade. I wanted a backup computer with good battery life that I could casually browse the internet on, not do anything powerful. This one cant handle it. Id return it if I didnt know how to upgrade the memory, but Ill just get more.

So zi waited a few months before giving a review. I am a teacher who does online teaching and after using the device for a few months, here are my thoughts:

Very light weight, portable, very fast and responsive, the screen is sharp and clear maybe not the best but I like it

the screen of the computer came broken but amazon offered to take it back and replace it free of charge but other than the screen it was an amazing computer the quality and the packaging and all those other things were amazing

The HDMI output stopped working. The computer speakers are terrible. The Wifi adapter drops my connection constantly when I try to stream movies forcing me to reset it all the time..

El equipo como tiene un desempeño bastante bueno en relación a su precio. Sin embargo lo único absurdo es que la webcam ni siquiera es HD, es sólo resolución VGA (muy oscuro, pésima resolución, se ve horrible) y lamentablemente esto no aparece explícito en la publicación. Imperdonable en tiempos de pandemia.

Its awesome and simple

Bought this laptop for my wifes bday. She does email, internet search & ordering of clothes, tennis shoes, etc. and plays solitaire & word games. We have also used it for Zoom Bible study. It does all of this perfectly. I dont see any problem with the display or speakers for these activities. We use a Bluetooth speaker for the Zoom meetings in order to hear the conversation better. I bought it with 4gb memory & 128gb drive but I may add 4gb or 8gb to the memory. A really neat feature is the micro SD card reader. I found out that an SD card can be configured as internal memory. If you have a little technical ability, the instructions can be found on the web & are not that difficult to follow. Micro SD cards are now available up to 1 TB so you can add much more internal memory without opening up the case. I added a 128 gb card & configured it as storage for the pictures, music & document system files. This leaves the 128 gb internal drive for programs which is plenty for us. This PC is plenty fast enough for quick start up, windows updates & internet searches. The keyboard has a nice, solid feel & the backlighting is nice & easily adjusted to 3 brightness settings & off. Keyboard is a bit compact to accommodate the numeric keys but certainly not a problem to get used to. The conversion to Windows 10 home edition was quite easy. The only down side is the internal camera. Its not HD, only VGA which is a headscratcher but not a game changer at all. I bought a USB, HD camera that clips on to the top for $13.50. We are totally pleased with this laptop. Asus was also the top rated brand for 2020 on laptopmag.com.

Todo super bien
