Great great great laptop. Love it, strong upgrade from my aging Core i3. I followed the popular recommendations to purchase the 128GB SSD along with the 1TB hard drive. Very fast, nice screen, like the fingerprint sensor. Here are the shortcomings that keep it from a 5.

1) Power key is located within the keyboard up at the top right corner. It is adjacent to the often used Delete, Backspace, and Home keys. Really? This passed their use case criteria? I often miss the Delete or Backspace keys and am accidentally putting my laptop into sleep. Several decades of best practices in designing laptops has led to this? Sigh. Deep. Sigh. Found the workaround at a CNET article. Since Amazon won't allow URL's in reviews, just Google "Asus Vivobook power button" and it will be the first link.

2) Keyboard is not backlit. This should be a simple feature addition that is minor in terms of cost. Merely an LED and a light tube. Would have been worth a few extra buck were... Read more

After years of using Amazon for hundreds of orders, this is my very FIRST negative review:

I was very excited at the prospect of buying this laptop. When the first one arrived on August 24, 2018, everything was great. I was very impressed with its sleek design and the speed of the processor itself. The screen looked great. I had no complaints! I allowed the battery to charge to 100% during initial setup.

Once the battery was at 100%, I unplugged it and used it in another area of the house. After some use, the battery charge had logically gone down some (down to about 80%), and so I went back to my office to plug it in. The power icon on the bottom right corner task bar showed a little *plug* symbol, so I assumed that it was charging.
A few hours of use later, I noticed that my battery was very low, around 10%. How was this possible if it had been plugged in the whole time?

Upon hovering the cursor over the power icon, I got the following message:... Read more

I bought this laptop back in March 2018, so I have about 4 months of usage experience with this laptop. Before this laptop, I had Lenovo Gaming laptop, so you guys know where I am coming from. This is a great laptop and I truly recommend getting this one. I did not expect this laptop to do good, but honestly a month into it, I started to feel the greatness of this laptop. It has few quirks, which i will mentioned below. The screen is truly beautiful, and matte coating on the laptop is a huge bonus (No reflection in broad day light, and the screen is bright enough to get work done outside). The keyboard is a hit or miss for everyone. I had a Lenovo laptop, which is known for its keyboard, so comparing to that laptop, this is the area where ASUS needs to work on, and lack of back lighting is another negative point for Asus. Port wise, asus has its users covered. I have seen new laptops that has only one or two ports, but Asus brought its A game when it came down to giving users... Read more
