Selling this Asus Vivobook that was actively used for 2 months alone for online meetings. Purchase date is May 2021. Product is out of warranty. Posting it on behalf of a relative.
Good Things:
- Ultra low TDP Pentium quad processor that has decent performance for the price. Passmark score is 2600 and performance is roughly equivalent to 7th gen i3.
- Full HD display
- Both RAM and SSD are user upgradable. Additional M.2 slot is empty.
- Good battery life. 6 hours of YouTube videos via wifi
- Genuine Windows 11 home edition
Not so good:
- Full HD display is TN panel. Not IPS. Color shifts vertically.
- Onboard RAM is 4gb and only 1 slot available. Upgrade to 8gb is highly recommended
- Factory shipped HDD is 5400 rpm 1 tb version. Extremely slow one. Discarded it and upgraded to 256 gb SSD
- It's a budget series laptop. Full plastic build and rubbery keys. It's the same body and display even if you buy expensive i5 variant in this series.
- Battery is 37 wh variant. A 48+ wh one would have given 9-10 hours battery life.
History and reason for sale:
My relative has bought this for his daughter's office online meetings. Physical office started within a month of purchase and the laptop was not used regularly thereafter. My relative complained about slowness in everything and gave it me to fix it. Found the hdd and bloated windows 11 as culprits and I have debloated the windows 11, disabled cortana and all privacy information sharing options, upgraded to SSD.
Now the PC is snappy even with 4 gb ram and sufficient if your use case is web browsing, YouTube and MS office. Boot time and app launching speeds are as good as any modern laptop.
Orginal box is available. Out of warranty, physical invoice not available. Purchase price is 24k.
