ASUS Vivobook 15 X1504VA 15.6" Full HD Laptop (Intel i5-1335U, 16GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Windows 11 Home)

The computer has been working amazingly so far, I bought it because I'm going into a comouter science degree and this one fits the things that I need. Battery life has been pretty good so far however I didn't really get a chance to actually use it constantly in a day to find out, but its been pretty ok, and it charges Super Fast. Doesn't make too much noise, however when you do something that requires a little more power it will be a little bit higher on the noise but otherwise is really quiet. the setup was pretty easy. Value for money I think is really like a yes and no, i've seen computers that cost more and offer you less storage so I think the 1TB PCIe SSD is the only thing that makes this price justifiable, however if you don't need that much storage this would not be worth it tbf.

Windows 11 is as intrusive as you would expect a Microsoft product to be these days, but managed to switch most of the unwanted stuff off. The 2 remaining annoyances are notifications for games offers, and edge - their browser - starting up seemingly at random. Happily this doesn't cause the new laptop to almost grind to a halt like my old machine, I am mega impressed by the speed, especially for the price. Part of this will be going for more RAM than my old machine as that was a limiting factor on what it could do. The big thing I wanted to improve was the video editing, and this new laptop has dramatically raised the bar, I even can play music and have the internet browser going at the same time as the video editing program, very pleased. Haven't really tested battery performance as replaced a desktop machine, but the ability to take the computer with me has been useful a few times. Running a 2nd, larger screen (from the old desktop machine) no issues at all, indeed has been great having 2 screens to use for some tasks., like moving files around in folders/ drives. Happy to recommend.

So far so good. This review is for the Asus Vivobook15x1504VA (silver) with i5 processor and 16gb Ram. It's well built. Internal speakers are ok but sound is better through headphones or external speakers. It's fast enough for most everyday tasks - but I had to set to High Power Plan for it to be working at max CPU instead of the 'energy efficient' setting which it installs with. It comes with Windows 11 which I didn't want (because of some of its quirky features) but nevertheless it sets up easy enough and I'm now learning to live with those quirky features. Battery life seems pretty good. The reason for only 4 stars is that the viewing angle of the screen is quite limited so as to view with best brightness and contrast and I also wish that there was the ability to increase the contrast as there seems to be only the facility to adjust the brightness. I also wish it came with a backlit keyboard but finding a laptop with this spec and at this price with such a keyboard is impossible. The keyboard itself feels nice to type on and its nice to have the separate numeric keypad. All-in-all I like it and the price was right when I bought it (and even happier that I could spread the payments over five months, interest free, through Amazon.

great laptop at a fantastic price

Very fast system. Everything starts up and opens and shuts down so quickly. Well made case. Nice keyboard. Significantly smaller case than my last 15.5" Asus laptop. I thought I'd been sent the wrong size, but there's less rim around the screen, so the whole laptop is smaller and takes up less room when carrying. This means the keyboard is slightly smaller too, but not a problem in practise. Long battery life. Windows Updates are very efficient. Was very easy to set up from out of the box.

I bought this in September 2024 as a birthday present to myself. My old Fujitsu laptop was well overdue an upgrade. Initially it looked like a fantastic spec for the price. Unfortunately looks can be deceiving. Right from the beginning, the touchpad has been temperamental, but as I always use a USB mouse, I’m not sure just HOW temperamental. I ordered an Asus USB mouse to use with the laptop. It worked fine initially. Then it didn’t. The cursor would just stay in the same place, no matter what. I assumed batteries? So put new in. Nope. Tried different USB ports, checked drivers etc. Made sure all updates were done. It worked for a few weeks if that. On and off. No apparent reason as to why. Then at the beginning of April it didn’t work again. Then the touchpad stopped working. Then the keyboard stopped working!!!! I contacted Amazon who were very helpful. They directed me to Asus but told me to come back to them if I didn’t get a satisfactory result. Asus told me to try the usual fixes. Updates. Etc etc. My husband knows a lot more about computers than I do so he’d already tried everything anyway. Asus arranged for it to be sent to one of their repair centres to be repaired. It was collected the next day by DPD. Apparently they have changed their repair contract and have a backlog of at least one month! I was told by phone that my “option” was to get the laptop back and still use it, then send it for repair when they’ve caught up!!!! I explained that it’s not useable so I left it with them. I’m extremely frustrated at having no working laptop. I paid close to £500 and can’t afford to buy another! I’ve since tried to contact Asus both by phone and by email. Not an easy task as I find their website less than helpful! They still can’t give me a time estimate. No offer of a solution other than to get it returned. I contacted Amazon this morning after the email reply I’d had from Asus. They said that if I get the laptop back and return it to them, they will give me a full refund. So I’ve messaged Asus to request it back. I will never buy another Asus again!

Very Happy with the purchase used for 6 months, does it work, very efficient, very fast and reliable, good quality

Actually I am really satisfied, quit handy, Good performance , Great Value, Quit happy and highly recommended, I did a lot of digging and search and happy I go with this option as for my task(study and present) seems quit handy.
