Initial review as of first day's use: It seems like a good laptop computer. The screen is okay, seems clear and bright. I like that the hinge seems tight and quality. The keys on the laptop are well spaced and feel good to type on. I haven't had any issues using they keyboard expect that there is no keyboard backlight. The listing advertises that it has a backlit keyboard - it does NOT.

The sticker on the bottom of the laptop where it has the serial number states the model number is F515EA-WS31. I verified that the laptop has 8 GB RAM as expected, and 128 GB SSD. FYI after setting up the initial user account and installing some Windows Updates and a different web browser, the SSD has free space of 74.6 GB. I don't care for Windows 11, but at least I have a working computer. I am pleased with it's performance so far. It's just what I needed. I will update this review with how long the battery lasts. I set up the computer on battery power right out of the box. It wasn't until I was in my new Windows user account before I could see the battery percentage. It was at 30%. The charging cable isn't what I expected to see. It is a one-piece cord with an attached brick. I expected to see the two piece annoying-to-use charging cord. I like this style much better. I don't know if the USB-C port allows for charging while turned off. I will test that out and add that to the updated review at a later date. I’ve been buying vivo books for several yrs now. I got my first 1 in 2014? I spilled red bull on my old vivo book and got this 1 as a replacement. 2 months before I bought these 2 for my daughter and me, I recommended it to my live-in boyfriend.
He was able to download all the fairly large programs he typically uses for music, and is very happy. I’ve had mine for 3 days now and I love it. My daughter is able to access and download all her games, and is enjoying the speed and reliability that I’ve enjoyed from this brand for so many years. Her previous pc was an hp and she seems to like this 1 better. I use mine to work full time from home for a bank, and I chose it because of the reliability of the previous experience I have with it. We got all 3 laptops from this particular seller. I absolutely love this laptop. It's nothing fancy but it has all the features I was looking for. The backlit keyboard was a must for me but most brands tack on an extra $200 - $300 for this feature. And the fingerprint recognition super exceeds the one on my previous HP computer, which NEVER worked properly; this one has never failed. I'm not sure how it would stack up for business use, but for everyday use - it's very fast and the graphics are really great. I've only had it for a few weeks, but so far so good. I put off purchasing a new computer for a number of years, but when my old one began deleting items so it could upgrade - it became a necessity. I had it narrowed down to 2 and after a candid conversation with my tech-savvy son I decided on the Asus. Windows 11, 8GB, great graphics and of course price made this the best option for me. So far, so good. It transferred data from my old computer in record time. I definitely have a learning curve regarding many of the new features included in this computer, but I'm sure I am up to the challenge.
