4.0 out of 5 stars Best vfm futureproof option once you add an SSD ssd, November 15, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ASUS VivoBook F510UA FHD Laptop, Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, USB-C, NanoEdge Display, Fingerprint, Windows 10, Star Gray (F510UA-AH51) (Personal Computers)
For $499 the laptop is a bargain, but you should only buy if you you plan to add an SSD in the near future.
Otherwise you cannot actually enjoy the strengths of this machine.
So given the $499 price tag
Pros:
+Light device with small footprint, far more portable than the usual 15.6 laptops
+Very good IPS matte FHD panel, zero reflections, almost zero light bleed, average brightness. You cannot find such display in laptops up to $750
+The colour is a beautiful grey and not purple as reviewed by other users
+Excellent specs with proper upgradeability, ( free m2 slot , memory can be increased compared to models with soldered modules)
+fingerprint sensor is accurate

Cons
-No computer is 2017 should be shipped with an HDD. This HDD makes the machine really slow,
Until the first round of boots/restarts and updates is competed you will think that you have bought a entry level celeron. The disk works full load and cannot cope, (it... Read more

I got this laptop an it took me a little to figure out the layout and disassembly of the back cover. Be careful with the rubber bumpers there are 2 screws underneath. The M.2 slot is SATA 3 (Cheap Bastards) not mvne. Be careful how you insert the SSD drive. The 6 pin is on the right side of the slot. The screws on the back are different sizes so mark them where they belong. For a clean install, start the laptop with the original OS and let it register to Microsoft. Once is register as digital license wiped and install the new Fall creators OS. Don't use any sharp metal to pray the back cover it will break. I use a Crucial SSD and is working excellent. I put the link. Please don't mine mi spelling I don't give a human @ss. I put some pics for all you to check the location and installation of the SSD.

Definitely a steal at the price i bought this for.

Initial impression is that this thing is super light, almost 1/2 the weight of my Asus ux501vw but with the same screen dimensions. Hard drive is slow and definitely needs to be replaced by an SSD. I Bought an M2 gen 3 SSD, but it does not fit, appears that this is NVME. Also, popped off the back cover and added a 16gb stick in the empty slot. My guess is that this can handle 32gb, which makes it such a steal.

keyboard feels firm and no flex, screen is nice for the price range. Battery life doesn't seem to be more than 5 hours, but i expected that going in. Battery charger is super tiny and lightweight, which is an additional advantage vs the 1 lb brick that you have to lug around with the ux501vw.

Word of warning, the back cover is a PITA to take off, almost breaks the warranty on how difficult it was to remove.

Edit: it definitely supports 32gb ram as that is what i installed last night... Read more
