ASUS

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Easy to set up an operate. The only thing is I wish the keyboard imprints were in white.

Great Machine

The oled screen on the laptop is out of this world. Super thin and light. Foe the price, this laptop offers everything you could want.

Great laptop wirh amazing screen

Great and quick small laptop. I've even used it for gaming highly recommend and easy to utilize. Best purchase this year

Great

Bought this last week on Amazon and input cliche but it's the best purchase I've made so far. Smooth interface, amazing screen quality.

Excellent laptop!

Very impressed with the performance and build quality of this laptop! All metal chassis makes it very sturdy.

Amazing Laptop

Bought this for school and works awesome. Needed something new and this is the best reviewed laptop I've seen.

Great laptop!

Great PC! Fast, easy to use. This PC is a great value. The PC is a very solid build and has many practical features.

Screen is Vivid! Solid Build.

Needed a cheap laptop for work use. This thing was a steal. Great quality for the price and it's really slick looking.

Great laptop for the price.

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.

Very good performance

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.

Top notch Laptop

Great laptop that is lightweight and has fast computing. Was reasonably priced for how fast. Would recommend.

Lightweight laptop

*************Just got it today, loving it so far! *****************

I'll update this review after a few months

Loving it so far

I bought this laptop just yesterday and already love it. Super fast, great picture and sound and easy to use. What more could you ask for?

Super nice laptop

I bought this a month ago and been the best. It does everything I needed and plus some. the quickest setup laptop ever

the best

Great computer! I really love how dinamic and smooth it feels working with it.

The configuration was fast.

I love the audio.

Great processor !

The initial configuration was super smooth and easy. I love the quality of the screen and audio.

I'm providing this review to receive a warranty extension from ASUS !!

Great deal really!

Has been working great!! Can?t wait to see its full potential. I have been struggling for years with an older model laptop.

Great Features

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.

Can't Beat the Value!

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.

Amazing features

Got this for my online school and it runs so smoothly! Lightweight and easy to carry around and doesn't heat up too much!

Really great for school

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.

Enjoyable Laptop to use

Love this laptop for work - my first Asus product and I think it is a good value for the money - I would recommend it to my coworkers

Great!

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

ASUS and EMCOMM

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.

Nice laptop, keyboard takes a little getting used to.

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.

Incredible laptop for business

Just purchased this bad boy and it is awesome! Loving the screen pad! It?s customizable, so you place the apps literally at your fingertips!

Awesome Laptop

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

So far, so good

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

Very happy with this laptop. No complaints. Adorama's shipping was super fast - ordered on Saturday, received on Tuesday!

Good value for the price

I found this is one of the best laptops for the prize. Love it so much!
