ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 Thin and Light 2-in-1 Laptop, 14†FHD Touchscreen, Intel Pentium Silver N5030 Processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage, Windows 10 Home in S Mode, Light Grey, Fingerprint, J401MA-ES21T

This is a great little laptop, after a bit of tweaking. I needed something silent as a normal laptop's fan noise plays havoc with my Tinnitus and this is ideal - no fan, very little heat, crystal clear display and light weight. It was super slow to start with but changing it's performance setting from being "optimized for looks" to "optimized for speed" made a huge difference. I needed to adjust the basic font to make the words crisp and clear as performance optimization renders them pixilated but that's simple. Initially a web page would take a few minutes to load and is now instant. I use LibreOffice and can happily do spreadsheets and type up documents and YouTube plays clear video with really nice sound. I also modified the paging file settings so that the system now uses 16GB of the hard drive as virtual RAM and that cranked up the speed a lot too. The laptop has an empty NVMe socket built in so I added a 1TB SSD and now I have plenty of storage too. However, be aware that doing so probably voids warranty but at the price of this laptop I'm not too concerned. I chose a lower speed SSD to reduce the operating heat but even so copying 50GB from an external USB hard drive only took 10 minutes, which is fine. All said I'm very happy I'm now able work away in peace and quiet with this laptop sitting on my bare legs without burning them and also get a days worth of use in one charge.

I just got my VIVOBOOK and so far it’s working great. My only complaint is that when I got it I had to update almost everything on it but it got done and it is running good. Love it so far.

Right out of the box, Windows is crashing. There is a ton of garbage apps which may be causing it. I'm sure all of them are unsupported by Microsoft. Stop loading your trash on my computer. The touchscreen isn't very responsive, which makes me not want to use it. You can tell it's cheaply made, just like most of the rest of the laptop. Day 1, a key popped off. Why? Keyboards have been around for over 50 years. There is zero excuse for keys popping off. The sound is decent for what it costs. I had no issues with wireless, Bluetooth, the trackpad, the 1/8th stereo jack, or folding the laptop into tablet mode. The screen brightness was fine for what I was using it for. As for speed, terrible. This is probably due to the garbage apps, and lack of testing. I would not buy this again due to poorly tested software, and overly cheap hardware. ASUS, it's a fail. You can do better. If you want this review removed, send me a working laptop. -MrNetTek

Decent build quality. Reverses nicely from a notebook computer into a tablet. 720P HD screen is acceptable but not outstanding. I got a "used" unit from a reputable seller and it arrived in new condition and I got an outstanding price. Touch screen works fine. Now: 4GB ram is on the low end but for normal day to day tasks, works fine. You will need to be patient for the first week as MSoft constantly updates all the software on the HD. 64GB of storage space is again, minimal but if you just need basic software, it will work. You can store your data on a micros sd card in the slot and you can get a 256GB micro card for around 20 bucks. Of course having the ability to expand your storage by plugging it in is great. The keyboard works fine. It's not backlit but at the price there are some compromises. All in all I like it a lot. I use it in tablet mode to access youtube while I ride my exercycle and have the tablet in a bracket. The screen isn't great, but it is okay. Again, price compromises. Give it a week or so and it will stop seeming to be slow once msoft updates everything.

The computer itself is okay for work or school work but since it’s only 4GB RAM, (which btw can’t be upgraded) it can lag and be slow. Don’t even try to use this for games because it will be a glitchy laggy mess. Unless you’re only looking for a strictly work and school computer this is a great choice for the price.

I was very skeptical about this laptop being that I ordered 2 other (cheap) laptops before I finally found this one. The first laptop was dead on arrival, the second one was lost in shipping. I was ready to lose hope until this laptop came in ONE DAY!! Yes, it needs to be updated and it’ll take about an hour if you are on top of it. A few restarts with the updates and it is FAST! The touch screen isn’t too touchy or laggy - just right! The numeric keyboard on the trackpad?! 👏🏼 I’m so happy with this purchase and recommend this laptop to anyone who needs/wants a new laptop for an unbeatable price.

I am very pleased with my purchase however when I'm entering the product key for Microsoft which was found on the box, it is not working. I need some assistance please

This is a great little touchscreen laptop. It runs just fine, even with only the 4GB. If you’re just looking for something to do basic computing/internet stuff this will do you fine. I also bought a USB optical drive and it worked perfectly. If you need something for power users or high end gaming you’ll want to look elsewhere.

Decent laptop for school
