The ASUS Vivobook 14" is MEH! Review time.

Love the 14" form factor but this ASUS Vivobook 14" just isn't ticking the boxes. Bad screen and a very unimpressive array of other features, we have a tough time recommending this one.

I just picked this up for $214/open box of course. Your description is spot on. It is meh, however, I think it will be the laptop I write my novel on.

[@ComputerStuff]

Best of luck with your manuscript! $214 is a solid price!

[@ojet013]

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Not to write a novel, but use it for very basic buisness site management and photo editing

[@max-3158]

Just bought this new for 200 at best buy (250 if i include the best buy membership) only reason i got it with the membership is so i can have the 60 day return window. I need a laptop for regular college stuff and i just need it to be super fast. Hope the SSD does its job.

[@ComputerStuff]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@giannpaulocarballo]

I’m thinking on getting the same one because I’m starting college in a couple weeks, what did you think??

[@max-3158]

@@giannpaulocarballo it works well for regular stuff.

The ASUS Vivobook 14 (X1404) has an HD screen with i5 cpu and 16GB ram and 512GB NVME M.2. This is a great spec. Best price is £550 in UK.
The review is clearly for a much lower spec and older PC.

[@ComputerStuff]

Yeah, we posted this a long time ago. Thanks for watching though!

[@MB-lm7nu]

Look. I agree. What does anyone expect for the price? I know you haven’t given it the best review. But recently have you seen the price for this? Would this give you a better review?

[@ComputerStuff]

Sub $300 on Amazon - if you're using it as a beater to check email and watch the ComputerStuff channel, you could do a lot worse. Not a bad price at all.

[@ethanconnor-hodges]

I ordered one at Best Buy for $226. I was disappointed that it only came with 128GB so I got a 1TB NVME for it. I'm also maxing the ram out to 16GB while I have it open. Just plan to use it with some light gaming and simple word processing.

[@ComputerStuff]

Nice upgrades!

[@Jordan-tg4ed]

How did it turn out? Im doing the same thing, 1 tb storage and 16 extra gb of ram, im picking it up tomorrow so lmk if it works for gaming

[@SherrellWrites]

My daughter had this less than 2 years.... it's done. I now have to replace it

[@ComputerStuff]

Sorry to hear :(

[@SherrellWrites]

​@ComputerStuff she used it as a drawing tablet and I don't think it's designed for that. I'm thinking of a game plane. The laptop itself was not bad.

[@urlocalgrasshair7899]

@@SherrellWrites I have a Asus Vivobook 14 from 2020 with a i5 10210u, and a mx250. It was about 550$ back then and it's fine, it does have a better display than the one on the video

[@SherrellWrites]

​@urlocalgrasshair7899 do you draw on it 5+ hours a day every day?

[@CocoRenee]

Loool thank you for the quick information 😂

Any time!

Come on.. was just about to buy one. A friend recommended.. ughh
What is the best laptop for typing/writing quietly? In a library for example..

[@ComputerStuff]

Dell and ASUS's keyboards are melted butter these days - I'd go Inspiron 16 of Zenbook 15 if you want tactile but quiet keyboard.

[@tofuman9526]

@@ComputerStuff does it matter which year of the zenbook? and I'd get 13 or 14", anything larger is too uncomfortable for me.
Inspiron I haven't considered, thought it's quite garbage :\

[@ComputerStuff]

@@tofuman9526 I'd try to get as new as possible.

[@angeligracemancenido7014]

Is it normal for the Asus X1400E to have like a vibration on the back of the screen when plugged in on the power?

[@ComputerStuff]

No I wouldn't think so.

[@nolakillabeast]

I need battery life and weight, all my work is on browser. This seems to be perfect for me?

[@ComputerStuff]

Yes it'd be a great option!

Thanks for the quick overview.
I am looking for a basic laptop and I'm in a hurry, but this one sounds a bit _too_ basic.
Skipping this one, will check out your suggestions.
