This guy deserves more views than the giants out there. He actually edited photos and gave us a visual of how this laptop operates, rather than dropping computer terms on us
I got myself a Vivobook 15" first and loved it such that I got a 14" for the Missus. I got the Intel version. The Asus is more expandable in RAM and Storage than most laptops. It is very affordable. Both of them I loaded upto the max of 20GB RAM and added a second 1TB HDD. That solved the large file handling capability of the machines. The good points are they have fairly good performance with the late generation chips, the keyboard is very good with good tactile feel, it has a fingerprint reader. But it has its issues. The main one being the low standard RAM and Storage that it comes in, its screen is a little dark and its not as light as other laptops of the same size, they removed fingerprint reader on later models . We both still loved our machines.
I'm an American living in South Africa. It was good to run across you here. Thinking of getting one of these laptops for my wife. She loves taking pictures, and needs something nice, but simple for her Highschool classroom. She already owns the Pro Art 16, and loves it! I thought you did a good review on this laptop, so I subscribed..... Cheers!
This was great.. im a mom not good with computers but this helped me choose for my 11yr old just going to secondary school. Talked normal not computer speak. He is great
Aluminium is the correct spelling (scientifically - not open for debate!) 👌 not sure why you Americans don't spell or pronounce it correctly but it is extremely irritating.
Would this be good for university students and for someone who would use it for work (like meetings, using softwares for a customer service based role)
I really liked this machine at first -- but I have had problems with the fans continually. I had service insurance with Best Buy but it ended last year when the covid struck and I couldn't get service. I paid $1500 for this computer. I have replaced the fans once, and now I have clean them every 30 days or so. My second Asus--but never again.
This is my first first hand laptop (my first laptop was a refurbished hp the same price but an i5 with half the storage🙄). This video was a lot more comprehensive and easier to understand than the amazon description! I was wondering if this could handle games like assassin's creed, portal or if not point and click games
I want to like my, but it won't let me. The positive: 1) Works great for Lightroom. I edit everything in RAW 2) Battery life is amazing! thumbs up!!! 3) Thin and light weight! Love, love, love! The negative: 1) Horrible sound! The worst! 2) Pairing take about 10 minutes! 3) When using a white background/screen...it's "stained" yellow wear the keys align with screen when closed. I could deal with the bad sound, but the screen issue is super annoying, especially as I use this specifically for Lightroom.
I have this exact laptop and random keys quit working. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. I'm going to try to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard ribbon. I really liked laptop but I have to use a bluetooth keyboard to use it.
I want to know why when anyone mentions gaming or video editing the answer is this laptop isn't the one. Does it not have an i7 processor, and a dedicated gpu? Sure the i7 processor is of the u series but still, it has an ssd and 8-16 gb of ram. So why is this considered only good for light use or students? I want something for light video editing and mainly excel use will this be fine?
Thanks for the review. The S13 is on sale for Prime Day and I might get it. I do basic photo and video stuff just for fun (light editing) and I think this will work.
Which apple MacBook...there are some crazy powerful MacBooks. Also if you look at the new MacBook M1 chips, then no, the M1 MacBooks are a lot more powerful.
Depends, the M1 Macbooks are really powerful but they also cost twice as much as this and have less RAM and an irreplaceable SSD which is a buyer beware moment because of the way Unified Memory is implemented on Macbooks. You may have to somehow replace the SSD less than half a year later on an 8GB RAM 256GB SSD model of an M1 Macbook and that would be really pricey. The 16GB RAM M1 model is super expensive so you should just get a $700 Asus Vivobook S14 with 16GB RAM and a Ryzen 5 4500U and build a desktop PC for the more demanding tasks if you really want to. Or get the top of the line Ryzen 7 4700U model with 16GB RAM if you manage to find it and if the price is reasonable compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U 16GB RAM model
I have the Vivobook Pro15 a couple of weeks. Before I owned the Expertbook B9 Pro (whom I accidently poured with water :( ) I'm not fully convinced from the Vivobook. Sometimes it's sloppy and it makes decissions I don't ask for. For the same price, I prefer the Expertbook over the Vivobook
I bought vivoBook 15, it doesn't has backlit keyboard neither fingerprint login option, I Bought Lenovo for my kids with lower budget that laptop has even fingerprint login option. And also just browsing I can hear fan voice,(with my hp even after playing games cant hear fan voice and didnt even use to get hot as Asus start getting hot just browsing)
Certainly, get the Ryzen 5 4500U model with 16GB of RAM because it's cheaper than the Ryzen 7 4700U (I don't really know why you would you get a Ryzen 7 model that runs hotter and is considerably more expensive) and is really good for light 1080p/1440p video editing. Especially if you use an app that supports Vega hardware acceleration and play around with the TDP settings in Ryzen Controller while rendering videos or something to have it run cool without losing much performance
Thanks for your review.....im a real novice im afraid...all this tech before my time,but im kinda getting into it.....Does the vivobook S model have a number of the model..please??..I seem to of found so many!!! Thanks again
For those wondering about buyong laptops heres an important rule If it has a celeron or pentium processor dont buy it its too slow A laptop with a core i5 and i3 from 2 years ago is faster
In the market for a new pc and found your video after doing some initial research. Great video man, gained a sun for sure. Just a question, for around the same sort of budget would you say it’s one of the better ones you could get? I’m a junior front-end developer and my current laptop is not coping😂
Certainly, get the Ryzen 5 4500U model with 16GB of RAM because it's cheaper than the Ryzen 7 4700U (I don't really know why you would you get a Ryzen 7 model that runs hotter and is considerably more expensive) and is really good for light 1080p/1440p video editing. Especially if you use an app that supports Vega hardware acceleration and play around with the TDP settings in Ryzen Controller while rendering videos or something to have it run cool without losing much performance. I got the same laptop with a Ryzen 5 4500U and 16GB RAM a month ago and it works like a charm. Way better than my colleagues' laptops with 3500U and 4500U because they haven't optimised their performance and thermals with an app called Ryzen Controller. I also upgraded my cooling by repasting it with a high end Cooler Master Mastergel Maker paste and putting thermal pads across the heatsink to have the heat transfer to the cool aluminium backplate that it has, and this has improved my temps by 15C at 25W TDP, which is a boost TDP. So I can easily run it at 19W sustained and have it boost to 23W if I am working on something demanding.
@@one_step_sideways do you think it will be good for something like Minecraft? And for schoolwork, I’m looking for a laptop for my school that I can bring home and connect too my monitor. I like gaming but I already have an Xbox, so I kinda wanna know the limitations.
@@olid8992 I have the Ryzen 5 4500U model with 16GB of RAM. 16GB is what you need. I haven't tried playing Minecraft, but it should definitely be enough. I played Halo Reach in Halo MCC on it - I ran it at 19W TDP and there was 50FPS at Original quality at 1080p with AA on. I also played Doom Eternal at 50% dynamic resolution at 900p - it runs at almost 60fps most of the time and was overall very playable. Of course the graphics weren't really pretty when targeting 60fps. The laptop is primarily made for various kinds of work, but gaming on it is very much possible. You'll be able to play most games at 8-18W TDP. You'll need to experiment with playing games on various TDP levels in order to find the sweetspot of best thermals without sacrificing performance. That way you'll be able to play the less demanding games with almost no heat or on battery, which many gaming laptops can't do. Also, make sure to set a battery charging limit in MyASUS to 80% when you want to use it on the go and to 60% when you're only plugged in. That way your battery will serve you for much longer.
Depending on your camera I would yes, if you want to get into 4K video editing and higher 30 mega pixel plus raw images probably not. But if you doing this casually and editing jpeg images, it will definitely be ok till your future upgrade 👌
NO, its setup with 512mb of vram (modern computers use 2 to 6 gb of ram or around 12 times more) which cripples the graphics performance making it an expensive paper weight. I bought it and it sucks
@@riddellriddell You are completely wrong. It only says that it has 512MB VRAM because it's dynamic. This is very good because it takes up less RAM when you aren't gaming (many Ryzen laptops only have 6GB out of 8GB of RAM available for the system, even less so for the apps) because it leaves you with 7.4GB of RAM on the 8GB systems and 15.4GB of RAM on the 16GB systems, and when you launch the game, it just dynamically allocates more RAM for the VRAM for your games (8GB of RAM would be really not enough because of that). I got the Ryzen 5 4500U (6 core) Asus Vivobook S14 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD a month ago for a very good price and it runs Halo MCC at 1080p "Original" settings with AA at 50fps and overall it's very playable. The cooling is very quiet even under max load, but you should use Ryzen Controller app to adjust your TDP for specific use cases - I had to lower the TDP from 25W down to only 10W while rendering a video in PowerDirector with HW acceleration because the CPU appeared to run at 100% for no reason - I had no performance loss but my temps improved by 40C obviously. And for gaming you should adjust the TDP to around 19W sustained and boost. The 4700U will be able to run the games better and it may be even cooler, you have to experiment with the TDP values.
@@oyinkansolaolofinsawo6431 idk Vega 6 iGPU is pretty capable for an iGPU. Probably it would be able to run the game well. Try reducing the resolution if you have problems running the game
Sure, when I tested my Ryzen 5 4500U Asus Vivobook S14 I could run an OBS recording (not streaming though, I couldn't test it) at 1080p 60fps with hardware acceleration with binary/no scaling, but if you are doing some tasks like browsing the web or watching YT videos at 1080p60fps at the same time, the recording may get overloaded and you will have stuttering. So you should use the app called Ryzen Controller and make sure than your TDP is set at 25W sustained while streaming at 1080p60fps, or just lower the framerate or resolution and everything will work great. Or find a way to limit your CPU usage in the web browser and set OBS' priority to High in the settings or the Task Manager.
Is this the Asus VivoBook 17.3” i5-1035G1 Laptop?? I’m wondering if this would work for using filters/lens to stream? To be specific I’m talking about snap camera, if anyone has it downloaded or could download it to find out please let me know, It would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Probably not...maybe if you doing basic programming here and there and tinkering around. But if you doing serious programming I might go for a higher spec.
My vivobook is so bad that it crashes every time and the internet stops when it is moved. i really hate my pc. my pc only have 50 gb and 10 of it is used for windows.
Help Please! Option 1: Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15.6": Ryzen 7 4700U, 8GB, 512SSD Option 2: Asus Vivobook S413EA 14": i5-1135G7, 16GB, 512SSD Option 3: Acer Aspire A515-56 15.6": i5-1135G7, 8GB, 1TB SSD Which would be the better overall option for all around tasks? Price is very similar for all of them! TIA.
Hi Rich! I like the content and very informative video preview on this laptop. I'm a little out of my element and needed to ask this question because I could not figure it out from this preview in this video, does this laptop come with a way to hard wire to the internet if I choose to do so? I do have a smart tv and I do understand that it use HDMI cables. Is that the only way that I'd be able to hard wire to the internet? Wouldn't I need and ethernet cable to hard wire to the internet? I had ordered a chrome book and hated it right away for that very reason. I returned it asap. If this model does not support what I'm looking for, could you refer or recommend another model, same company, staying around the budget of 800.00. This model on a poplar shopping website is going for 749.00 or so. Please help? Thanks in advance!😄

I got the Ryzen 5 4500U (6 core) Asus Vivobook S14 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD a month ago for a very good price and it runs Halo MCC at 1080p "Original" settings with AA at 50fps and overall it's very playable. The cooling is very quiet even under max load, but you should use Ryzen Controller app to adjust your TDP for specific use cases - I had to lower the TDP from 25W down to only 10W while rendering a video in PowerDirector with HW acceleration because the CPU appeared to run at 100% for no reason - I had no performance loss but my temps improved by 40C obviously. And for gaming you should adjust the TDP to around 19W sustained and boost. The 4700U will be able to run the games better and it may be even cooler, you have to experiment with the TDP values.
@@one_step_sideways can Asus vivobook 15 run pes 21 efficiently
@@oyinkansolaolofinsawo6431 idk Vega 6 iGPU is pretty capable for an iGPU. Probably it would be able to run the game well. Try reducing the resolution if you have problems running the game
Is this good for basic video editing?
Is it okay to play Roblox, Sims4, Fortnite, Among us and online school?
No fortnite
stop playing the video games stop being a slave..
I would say it prolly can do all except for fn
Is this good for music production?
Have you found fan noise while editing videos?
Kiff content. Keep up the good work !
Thank you! Appreciate it 🙏
I just bought asus x515j core i5 ram4 but the battery doesn't last as expected it only last for about 3 hours and half is something wrong with it?
Not for me; bought it and it is impossible to understand.
Hello...nice video...plan to buy the variant...can u just tell me about its display...it think its not a IPS panel?
Great review! I was wondering if this laptop can run an OBS to stream on RUclips?
Sure, when I tested my Ryzen 5 4500U Asus Vivobook S14 I could run an OBS recording (not streaming though, I couldn't test it) at 1080p 60fps with hardware acceleration with binary/no scaling, but if you are doing some tasks like browsing the web or watching YT videos at 1080p60fps at the same time, the recording may get overloaded and you will have stuttering. So you should use the app called Ryzen Controller and make sure than your TDP is set at 25W sustained while streaming at 1080p60fps, or just lower the framerate or resolution and everything will work great. Or find a way to limit your CPU usage in the web browser and set OBS' priority to High in the settings or the Task Manager.
Is this the Asus VivoBook 17.3” i5-1035G1 Laptop?? I’m wondering if this would work for using filters/lens to stream? To be specific I’m talking about snap camera, if anyone has it downloaded or could download it to find out please let me know, It would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Would you recommend this for programming
Probably not...maybe if you doing basic programming here and there and tinkering around. But if you doing serious programming I might go for a higher spec.
So unity is a no go?
Are you doing a review a 2021 version vivobook 15 that has an oled screen?
If i need ot for adobe programs, autocad and rhino.... will it work? I mean will it support it?
My vivobook is so bad that it crashes every time and the internet stops when it is moved. i really hate my pc. my pc only have 50 gb and 10 of it is used for windows.
Can I edit videos decently using Adobe Premier? Will the Asus Vivobook 14/15 a better choice?
Is it good for League of Legends and minecraft? That's all I want lol
Help Please!
Option 1:
Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15.6": Ryzen 7 4700U, 8GB, 512SSD
Option 2:
Asus Vivobook S413EA 14": i5-1135G7, 16GB, 512SSD
Option 3:
Acer Aspire A515-56 15.6": i5-1135G7, 8GB, 1TB SSD
Which would be the better overall option for all around tasks? Price is very similar for all of them! TIA.
I would go for the IdeaPad if the ram slot is upgradable
I feel like it's for gaming and work I mean mine has an Intel i7 and an Nvidia GTX
Is it good for architecture and design projects?
Did u find an answer?
Would it be good for light gaming? 2D games and perhaps MOBAs? Love this video, im thinking about buying one
I would say yes but beware of the cooling system and fans when you play
@@shamarianrevada6358 alright! thank you for your time :)
it ran roblox at 100-200fps for like 1 minute before dipping down to 5-10 fps,my old office computer gets more consistent frames then that
So it's not good for gaming ryt thanks
Hi Rich! I like the content and very informative video preview on this laptop. I'm a little out of my element and needed to ask this question because I could not figure it out from this preview in this video, does this laptop come with a way to hard wire to the internet if I choose to do so? I do have a smart tv and I do understand that it use HDMI cables. Is that the only way that I'd be able to hard wire to the internet? Wouldn't I need and ethernet cable to hard wire to the internet? I had ordered a chrome book and hated it right away for that very reason. I returned it asap. If this model does not support what I'm looking for, could you refer or recommend another model, same company, staying around the budget of 800.00. This model on a poplar shopping website is going for 749.00 or so. Please help? Thanks in advance!😄
How long does his battery last?
Are you going to show the laptop or just talking hold itinyour lap the whole time?
