ASUS Vivobook Laptop L210 11.6 Ultra Thin Laptop, Intel Celeron N4020 Processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB eMMC Storage, Windows 11 Home in S Mode with One Year of Office 365 Personal, L210MA-DS04

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!

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.

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??

This would have been five stars if not for the following:

I am not a gamer, therefore I can’t provide feedback on this aspect.

For the money, this little laptop works well

Brand new laptop that crashes and freezes. Hard drive errors on start up. Web browser freezes simply printing a shipping label. Cannot perform the most basic tasks. I’m not a picky or demanding guy but this laptop is terrible.

I have a chrome book and after getting this laptop I feel like I made a terrible decision. Its so slow to process anything . The visual quality is sub par and the touch pad is not good either. Spend the extra 50$ and get the chrome book

Very light weight

It may be decent, I do not know. It would not allow me to navigate at all. If the price is super low, you get what you pay for.
