Very good performance

I'm pretty sure if you get this laptop for under 600 it's a good deal. It is very thin and light. But I'm not sure with durability I'll look for it.

Top notch Laptop

This is the first ASUS laptop I've owned. So far an excellent laptop. # HP's didn't cut it ... all failed and needed replacing.

Can't Beat the Value!

Have been using for about a month now and could not be happier with the performance, features and quality of this laptop. The value you get for the money is hard to beat. The only thing missing is a touch screen. However, after having one on my previous laptop, I rarely used it and so far, I have not missed it one bit.

Amazing features

I bought this laptop because of the high reviews it received. So far so good. Processor is extremely fast and responsive. The mouse pad can be finicky. The finger print reader works great.

Enjoyable Laptop to use

I bought the ASUS VivoBook S15 about 2 months ago. I am pleased with it operation. Milwaukee PC has given me super support on setting the laptop up and answering questions on how to use it.

I?m using my new ASUS VivoBook as a EMcomm node for WINLINK with VARA modems (both FM and HF). It is performing superbly.

Nice laptop, keyboard takes a little getting used to.

The laptop is fast, the screen is crisp. I think it is a good value for the money. I agree with other reviewers that the key caps could use a higher contrast for the lettering. The labels on the keys are almost invisible. But it doesn't matter that much since most of the time I'm typing without looking at the keys. As with other Asus keyboards, I need to adjust to some of the key spacings... I often hit the 4 number key instead of the return key.

Incredible laptop for business

I began researching this laptop February 2021 and decided this was the one I wanted. It was light and had an integrated 10 Key Pad. The Screenpad 2.0 was also intriguing. I purchased the S532EQ in May of 2021. PROS: I use the screenpad quite regularly. I can attend a teams meeting on the main display while viewing a document or editing a spreadsheet on the Screenpad. I use application groups (launching multiple apps with a single tap), short cuts and quick keys. I don't use the quick keys that came installed, but I created my own for QuickBooks and I really love it. I was concerned how will the trackpad would work with a screen underneath it, but it works wonderfully and I am very pleased with it. The processor is very quick. It takes less the 25 seconds to boot up. I have no lag on anything I do. The main display is great and has a 178 degree viewing angle. It does not wash out. I highly recommend this laptop. CONS: Link to Asus app works occasionally. When it doesn't, I can transfer files from my phone to the laptop using the Thunderbolt 4 port. No light indicator on the Num Lock key. 10 Key Pad is condensed and took a little getting used to but I am fine with it now. Screenpad crashed after a Windows update but I was able to get it fixed via a chat with an Asus tech. I documented the steps and created a video tutorial. About 50 individuals have responded that it fixed their issue in about 10 minutes. Bottom line? I really do love this laptop. Two screens and a 10 key pad on board!! Incredible idea. I highly recommend this laptop.

So far, so good

Been using this for about a month now. Its a vast improvement from my last computer, but with some downsides: PROS: Starts up immediately when opening lid Great sound quality Looks sleek and feels nice (finish and weight) CONS: Finish gets dirty VERY easily (think dIrt smudges from hands, etc) Backlit keyboard can be a nuisance because keys are already such a bright silver (function can easily be dimmed if turned off accordingly, though). Took a while to sort out windows 10 sign in requirements

ASUS VivoBook S15

Fast shipping and products work great so far. Excellent product and customer service. The only drawback was it took a few days for merchant to prepare the product and get it ready to ship so I had to call and follow up on the status. But afterwards it was a smooth sail

Laptop for college...

By ROGER M.

Purchased this laptop for my son for college. He wanted a light weight computer that could handle accounting and business classes. This fits all the requirements. Computer is quick and easy to handle. He says it great and loves it. He loves the color as well.

Colors that match your vibe
If there was ever a laptop that represents who you are, it's the youthful and vivacious ASUS VivoBook Series. The new VivoBook S15 adds a dash of personality to your mobile lifestyle, featuring a bold new lightweight design with unique color combinations, a choice of textured finishes and the innovative three-sided NanoEdge display and ErgoLift hinge. Like every other VivoBook before it, S15 offers a combination of performance, style and comfort to help you get the job done, wherever you are.

Dare to be different
When it comes to looks, VivoBook S15 doesn't do boring traditional laptop colors. Instead, it has striking hues that let you express yourself, adopting a color-blocking approach to pair the bright and bold with more subtle colors for a laptop that visually pops.

A dash of color to your life
VivoBook S15 has five exciting hues that tell the world who you are. Whatever your style and outlook, S15 has a color combination to match it.

A unique touch
With VivoBook S15, it's the little details that count. It has five unique color options, with Firmament Green featuring a special woven-textured finish surrounding the keyboard that feels great to the touch.

Gunmetal
A longtime favorite, it's a color of maturity and reliability.

ErgoLift

Give yourself a lift
Open up VivoBook S15 for a world of productivity and possibilities. Its precision-engineered ErgoLift hinge has a silky-smooth dual action that holds the display securely at any angle and slightly tilts the keyboard up by 3.5 deg. to give you a perfect typing position every time. The ErgoLift hinge also improves cooling for a stable computing experience.

• Improved typing position
• Optimized Cooling System

Tilt up for better typing and cooling
The ErgoLift hinge makes long typing stints that much more comfortable. This unique design automatically tilts the keyboard by 3.5 deg. to create the familiar feel of a desktop keyboard. The ErgoLift design also opens up extra ventilation space for more airflow around the underside of the chassis to keep internal temperatures 2.5 deg. C lower than standard laptops.

NanoEdge Display

See more, do more
The new NanoEdge display on VivoBook S15 continues to push the boundaries of what's possible - the new three-sided NanoEdge display now has an even narrower bezel along the top and sides of the display. This results in an 86% screen-to-body ratio that provides unrivaled immersion in a much more compact package. And when you throw wide viewing angles and exceptional color reproduction into the mix, every visual task is made easier. Entertainment is simply more awesome with S15!

Wi-Fi Master
Be freeStep out of your workstation and into the future - whether at home, a quaint downtown cafe or the airport - your office is wherever you choose it to be. VivoBook S15 boasts the latest wireless networking features and ASUS Wi-Fi Master technology to give you faster and more reliable connections at greater distances than ever before. Even when you're using USB 3.0 devices - which can be a source of wireless interference - you can still stream smoothly even when S15 is 225 meters or more away from the router, that's 65 meters further than the range of standard laptops!

AudioSet an inspirational tone
ASUS SonicMaster is a combination of hardware, software and audio tuning designed with the goal of giving you the very best audio experience. A professional-grade codec ensures precise audio encoding and decoding; while amplifiers, large speakers and resonance chambers perfectly suited to VivoBook S15 ensure a powerful audio delivery and deeper bass.
