(Personal Computers) When you purchase this laptop, allow yourself a full day to set it up. First you will need about 3 hours to charge the battery, then Windows updates will take a couple of hours. Then it will take some time to get rid of the junk that all new computers come with (I'm not a gamer, so lots of games had to go). If you are a Windows 10 pro, then you should be good to go. The last Windows computer I had was XP, so Win 10 took a while to get used to. I won't trade my Mac for anything, but I was at the point where I needed a new laptop to take on appointments with clients, and since they are all PC users it only made sense to go with a Windows machine. The computer isn't really gold at all, but more of a silvery color. I was worried that it would be flashy and "in your face" gold, but it is very subtle. The caps lock button doesn't let you know it is on, and that can get annoying when you accidentally hit it. There is also no separate numerical keypad, but maybe...

(Personal Computers) This is a punchy little laptop for its price that pleasantly surprised me in a lot of ways, and disappointed me in others. Part of my amazement with some of it probably has to do with the fact that my everyday workhorse laptop is a couple of years old, now. It certainly feels outdated next to this thing! I'll start with the good. * The laptop is REALLY light. When the box came, my husband didn't believe there could really be a laptop inside. He thought I was joking when I told him that's what it was. Weight doesn't honestly matter to me that much because I don't tote my laptop around, but if weight's an issue for you -- I really can't imagine laptops getting much lighter than this. * It turns on fast. Really fast. It has the OS on a solid state drive, and then a terabyte drive for storage, and the advantage to this is that solid state drives boot up super fast. This is a laptop that I'd have less of a problem with shutting down regularly, because turning... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? Super lightweight and lightning fast, November 7, 2017 This review is from: ASUS VivoBook S 15.6" Full HD Laptop, Intel i7-7500U 2.7GHz, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD, Windows 10, Fingerprint Sensor, Backlit Keyboard. (Personal Computers) I really love the speed of this little laptop. Pros: Super light weight. I keep thinking my laptop case is empty, Speed-very quick to respond, I love the keyboard feel while typing, great display, loud speakers-the loudest ones I have ever had in a laptop, lots of storage space. Cons: I don't care for the positioning of the power button or how it is blended in with the keyboard. I keep turning it off accidentally. The power cord is very thin but I guess that is what makes it so lightweight to carry around. My last cord weighed a ton! Windows 10. Ugh. But I am learning how to use it. My laptop fan can't be plugged into the usb port. Every time I do that it makes the laptop go black screen and I have to reboot it after 10 minutes of use. I also don't like that the bulk of the storage is on the D drive. I am so used to using my C drive. Small learning curve on things. This dog can learn new tricks. All in all I am very pleased with this laptop and it is... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
