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

Screen was flickering from the very first moment I opened the laptop. I had to return it right away, simply unacceptable to get a product with such a problem.

Good Product

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!

Microsoft 365 is junk. The software is like going backwards. Been using Windows 7 with Office 2010. Soooo many features were far better on the old software. The laptop itself does not have the greatest keyboard. Keep having to retype words. It is annoying to have Mcafee keep popping up ads for their services.

I have found that this system is mainly for web, and small type of work. It has very limited option to upgrade, the way the memory is used is different from standard units. My model has 16gm Ram but only 9gb usable as RAM the other is for virtual memory, with a pagefile size of less than 3GB. The RAM is soldered! No upgrade, period. It is using some of the ram as virtual. Which somehow gives some fast operation. I replaced de 500GB M.2 for a 1TB. It can use up to 2TB. that is the only upgrade that can be installed. From Windows 11 system info I get the following related to memory usage and configuration. Also RAM memory is shared with the video display.

I searched the internet before buying if this laptop has a second slot to expand the storage. I even found videos on youtube of the S533, but this version, which is that the S533 does not have the second port. I do not know why. Im very disappointed. See the photo.

Equipo liviano y se calidad de la imagen excelente.

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.

This is the best laptop Ive ever bought. Outperforms the more expensive ones Ive had in the past. Like this so much, my mom bought one also. Fires up quickly. Performs well. No complaints.

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