ASUS VivoBook S15 S533 Thin and Light Laptop, 15.6” FHD Display, Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Fingerprint Reader, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 10 Home, Indie Black, S533EA-DH74

Wonderful for my needs

I held out a long time before landing on this laptop--kept bouncing between HP and Dell models until this showed up quite unexpectedly and then got snatched up quickly. I jumped on it at a very attractive price for the infrastructure I wanted that this had: latest I7 chip, 16 GB RAM, 512 SSD. Plus I wanted as many USB ports as possible along with a Thunderbolt port; never could find an HP (my previous laptops brand) or Dell with the right mix. A really nice plus is the function key that can deactivate the touch pad--I use a mouse and sometimes accidentally hitting the touch pad can be a problem. Finally, I liked the Indie Black color. Im not a gamer so cant comment on how this model handles those requirements.

Good Product

I have been building and buying computers for years, I mainly used desktops because of the work I do, mostly engineering programs and it was much cheaper for me to build a powerful desktop with the graphics I needed then buy a laptop. I bought my wife a Asus laptop for her birthday 8 years ago (I7 with touch screen) I was impressed and bought a few more a year or two later for our CNC programmers to use on the floor. My wife still uses hers and it still performs pretty damn good. So l bought this one for myself. I am not extremely impressed but not really disappointed. It boots up in less then 10 seconds from off to desktop, so that is decent. Everything seems to operate at reasonable speed, I could do without the bloat ware. I just expected a little more lightning speed in a computer. Battery life, not measured but seems a little short, screen seems adequate.

Yo compre mi laptop Asus hace menos de un año, en Octubre del 2021. Y funciono de maravilla, hasta que dentro de unos meses despues en el mes de Mayo me empezo a aparecer un error que consistia en lo siguiente. El error era que cada vez que prendia el computador solo me aparecia directo en la bios, y cada vez que daba la opcion de salir de bios, volvia a entrar. Lleve la maquina a un tecnico y se presumia el error vendria de un corto en el teclado original o alguna falla que ocasionaba que al prender el equipo me saliera de bios. Y esto se demostro por que al desconectar brevemente el teclado de la placa, la computadora arranco directo al sistema operativo, por lo que decidi comprar el repuesto de teclado de la pagina oficial de ASUS, pero nuevamente (en menor frecuencia) me esta pasando el mismo error por lo que me deja pensando, cual puede ser la verdadera falla ante este problema, hemos intentado toda clase de solucion. Pero queremos una respuesta experta.

Powerful computer,

My old laptop died, and I needed a new one but didnt want to spend a lot. This laptop does everything I need plus.

Love love this laptop. Exactly what I was looking for.

I was excited to get this computer on Prime Day. I got a great deal and thought it was well worth the price. I read a lot of reviews and that all seemed great. When I got the computer and turn it on there was nothing - just a blank screen. I did a hard reset, but still nothing. I hooked up an external monitor and found that the computer was on and set at the initial get-started screen. When I clicked Enter, to see if it was operational, nothing!

This unit failed out of the box and would not power up. It was returned with all original packaging and items but Gimme a Hug claims the accessories were missing. They kept 19% for a dead PC.
