Xenon Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I am thinking of buying this as a present, but I have no experience with ASUS laptops. Does anyone have one and how is the quality of the hardware? ASUS Vivobook 15 Slim Laptop, 15.6” FHD Display, Intel Core i5-12500H CPU, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home, Quiet Blue, F1502ZA-NB54 https://www.newegg.com/quiet-blue-asus-vivobook-f1502za-nb54-home-personal/p/N82E16834236465?Item=N82E16834236465 It will be for general use and light gaming.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted February 20 Moderator Share Posted February 20 I have no experience with ASUS laptops, but.. 16GB RAM and 512GB of SSD should be perfect for your/other needs. Nice sale as well. Just remember to re-install a fresh Windows. (Rather 10 or 11) The OEM stuff that comes with the laptop maker is all trash. Will eat up your resorces.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted February 20 Supervisor Share Posted February 20 their Vivobooks are pretty decent for their price, especially considering they come with fingerprint sensor. Xenon 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellowalkman Reporter Posted February 20 Reporter Share Posted February 20 (edited) From what I have seen Vivobooks are similar quality-wise to Acer Aspire/Swift/ Extensa and a bit better than Lenovo IdeaPads. I am more worried about the throttling of that i5-12500H in that slim form factor. You can try dropping the current a bit if you run into overheating issues. But overall this does look like a nice deal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually broke the power connector to the motherboard. hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellowalkman Reporter Posted February 20 Reporter Share Posted February 20 I personally think you should consider this AMD 7730U laptop instead since you are going to do light gaming. The Vega 8 can be faster than the Intel Iris Xe 80EU and there is a lesser chance of overheating too. https://www.newegg.com/classic-black-msi-modern-14-c7m-048us-work-business/p/N82E16834156444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted February 20 Supervisor Share Posted February 20 I do agree about going with the AMD variant of the Vivobook. AMD has Intel beat in the mobile performance to battery life department with the Ryzens. https://www.newegg.com/quiet-blue-asus-m1502qa-nb54-home-personal/p/N82E16834236468 $10 cheaper than the Intel model too right now.
