ASUS F512DA-EB51 VivoBook 15 Thin And Light Laptop
The ssd and ram are upgradeable but it does not have any empty slots for anything. When opening the case there are no hidden screws. It has a single stick of ddr4 ramit uses a pcie nvme m. 2 ssdpictured are the upgraded ssd and ram.
Honestly, the laptop is great. I did buy a 1x8gb kit of ddr4 sodimm 2400mhz cl16 ram to upgrade the memory on the laptop from the original 8gb, and i made a quick discovery that the laptop comes with 4gb of ram soldered onto the motherboard, thus you can only replace the other stick of ram in the populated ram slot that has a 4gb stick in it. So i now have 12gb of ram on my f512d ryzen model. Furthermore, the ssd that came included with my model used a kingston 256gb ssd, leaving one open slot for a 2. The battery life lasts about 2-3 hours on a near-full charge, and since my college classes require atleast a 1. 5 hours of charge per class, i could dim down the display for less battery usage and possibly the keyboard backlights, but i’d say it’s a win either way. Overall, the screen is ips and beautiful, the entire system feels snappy and responsive, and i can actually run 3d applications on it without it bugging out like my last samsung i3 laptop from 2013. Love amd’s new product lineup and i hope this helps anyone else looking to buy this laptop. Update:sadly, my unit didn’t last long. I just began using my 3-d softwares and new code ide’s for c++ and this thing blue-screened every 5 minutes or so. Sometimes i was lucky and it’d work nicely but just today, the drive slowed down to a near halt and as windows tried to repair or reset it, it just died. I now boot into the bios everytime with no storage or boot-detection of the ssd. What a brilliant time for it to die. Also for battery life, turning off the keyboard backlighting litterally gave me 9+ hours of battery-life.
When i was looking for a laptop i wasn’t critical of reviews because i didn’t think it mattered but when i saw the reviews for this laptop i got worried about my purchase. I’m going to set the record straight from what this product is actually like: good and bad. This is an honest and critical review of the asus vivobook 15 from the perspective of someone who uses this laptop for coding and production (note: i have only used this laptop for a week). Very rarely will i notice quality/performance drops. Graphics card – this is where i cannot help you with this specific system. I don’t use it for its graphics capabilities. But you should know that if you’re looking at this computer for gaming, don’t buy it. Buy a system specifically designed for gaming.
I originally bought this computer with the intentions of programming on the go. Let’s get the bad out of the way first. This laptop is not designed, nor advertised for gaming by any stretch. You’ll be able to get away with some older games but forget about getting reasonable performance at reasonable graphics levels on anything more modern. We’re talking just barely getting 60fps on spyro: reignited trilogy at 720p, lowest graphic preset. But that’s impressive for not being a gaming laptop. Just keep your expectations in line. The good: this thing is blitzing fast in practically every other regard. This is where the ssd and cpu really take center stage. Everything is incredibly responsive and installs are very painless.
This is a sleek and modern laptop. It barely takes any effort to type. I really like the backlit keyboard as well as the number keypad on the right. There are plenty of ports, hdmi and usb. The screen appears large for a compact laptop and the resolution is amazing. I work with a lot of photos and they look absolutely great. I appreciate the 8 gb of ram which makes using photoshop and other programs fast and efficient. This machine is quick to turn on and seems to last a long time on a battery charge. It is very lightweight and will be easy to travel with. I think this is an excellent value.
