ASUS VivoBook F512 Thin and Lightweight Laptop, 15.6” FHD WideView NanoEdge , AMD R5-3500U CPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10, Peacock Blue, F512DA-EB51

I purchased this laptop in January. By May, I had touchpad issues where it randomly clicks. Now I have that plus the screen randomly goes to black or blocks of black squares. I contacted ASUS customer service and now I have to ship my laptop to them, then wait for them to repair it and send it back to me. They have no partnership with local repair shops so I have to wait an additional 14 days of shipping round trip, plus repair time. I shouldnt have any issues with a new laptop in the first place and if I do, the fix should be easy and convenient. Do not buy this laptop or any ASUS laptop. I wont purchase from ASUS again.

I will try to touch on things no one else has.. It seems like the mfg is reading these reviews and is correcting what people are complaing aboiut, so unless they changed the description, its no longer accurate.Such as some people complained about how hard it was to changee from WIN 10 in S mode, so they made it easier, some commernted that it shouldnt be neccesary at all. So when they shipped mine, it came with WIN 10 HOME preinstalled! It doesnt have light-up keys, tthey are opaque, but the underneath of the keyboard lights up! The keys havre about 2mm of distance between keys making it easier to type. it has a keypad to the right but it is set up somewhat dffferently and takes some getting used to. The computer has a clamshell-like opener, ie. no latch. A one handed person could open it. A key on the keyboard turns it on. You just barely have to hit it and its on. There is no way to tell if the numlok for the keypad is on or not, nothing lights up. The thing that really surprised me was the thinnes of the power cord. It does not say durability to me, though I dont know that. Dont skimp on memory. I have 8GB.

This computer has higher features in terms of processor and screen card. I use it for my business and some special software that I have not a problem yet.

I originally bought this computer with the intentions of programming on the go.

I love the feeling of their keyboard. It also doesnt burn my legs after I sit with it for a few hours. The battery is good.

Ive had this computer for less than a year and I regret buying this one. I play one computer game with less than great graphics and it lags and skips. When I rest my wrists on it while typing, it either wants to ignore the space bar or hold it down at times. And now the mouse pad is acting up, making the cursor seize all over the screen and Im not able to control it well enough to click on a specific spot very well. This whole computer seems to be a cheap piece of crap thats already falling apart just 9 months after I bought it and Im really upset about it. Im a student, so I dont have a lot of money to spend on a computer, so this is really disappointing to me.

Screen, and software all good

I got this computer specifically for the compact size and for teaching online. It works well for both. There is notEthernet port but I can work around that.

it works

Great computer
