I bought this a few months back and ended up returning it. I liked almost everything about it as a budget laptop but I couldn't get past the screen. It's pretty washed out and the viewing angle was terrible. Another (minor) thing that bothered me was when open, the screen would lift the back part of the laptop up slightly presumably for a better typing angle. However, it's lifted up on tiny rubber feet that looked like would either fall out or wear out over time. As for battery life, I was averaging slightly less than 4 hours doing basic internet and tasks.
You get a slightly better processor with this one, with twice the SSD storage and twice the RAM, with a fingerprint scanner and backlit keyboard.

With the HP, you get a 1TB HDD but you would need another 4GB stick to make it reasonably useful. Both screens appear basic.

There is a HP 15.6" Ryzen 5 for $429 at Walmart with a better processor, but no backlit keyboard or fingerprint scanner, but same storage and RAM.



I have the older Asus ZenBook which doesn't have the angled base when you open the screen. I agree - it may not last long if it is propped up by tiny rubber feet. Battery life is on par with laptops at this price point.

I didn't purchase but put the Asus laptop in my cart.

IIt looks like if you are VIP you can get back 25% in Rewards. If you aren't VIP it looks like you can get back 20% in Rewards.

i bought this last year, the keyboard keys break easily. I think they lifted the keys for the backlight, but the plastic holding the keys up are thin.

Is the additional 8gb ram and 128gb storage worth the extra 80$ compared to the other deals?

Just picked this up and the screen is either IPS or a very good TN - compared to my Samsung 4 plus Chromebook it's much better and doesn't wash out at different angles nearly as much.

There are 2 slots.

The first slot is soldered with 4GB RAM. So that can't be upgraded.

The second slot is removable which currently has 4GB RAM. That can be upgraded to up to 16GB RAM.

So in total, the max RAM for this is 20GB.

Looks like computers are excluded from that coupon? I put the coupon and the computer in my cart, and didn't see a message that the coupon does not apply, however, I also didn't see anything indicating what rewards I would get. On the fence because I can't tell if this coupon works with the deal.

I picked this up a few months ago thinking the ram was all soldered. Thanks for this bit of info, gonna max this little guy out now.

I use mine for basic 3d modeling, mobile photo management, and general messing around on the internet. I'm surprised by what this laptop can do. I usually have a half a dozen chrome tabs open, Solidworks or Lightroom and some other smaller applications going at once. The screen is really meh so I really can only cull images, but given that this costs as much as a decent monitor, I really can't complain. My biggest lament is the USB-C being data-only. I knew that going in, but I still wish I could charge with it.

Overall, the chassis doesn't feel as cheap as the price point would suggest, but the keyboard does. I thought I'd hate the weird screen/prop thing, but it's not a big dea in practice.

Minor complaints: sometimes it takes the fingerprint reader 10-20 seconds to get going. I don't know if this is windows or laptop related, but I don't like it. Also, it seems like the micro SD card socket could be deeper, the card sticks out really far and in afraid something might bump it and break the reader/card.

A lot of people are comparing the 2020 to 2021 models (F512 to F513) I had the F512 2020 model on order and briefly checked it out in the store but actually own the F513.

I think it's important to note that cosmetically they are VERY different.

The 2021 model:
- No rubber feet on back of folding hinge (this may have been a durability issue on the 2020 model)
- Chiclet instead of island keys (an improvement IMHO)
- Different color (Navy/Black vs Dark Gray on the F512)
- Colored Enter key (gimmicky but does stand out)

And the big one - maybe…

THE SCREEN

I can confirm the older Vivobooks had awful TN screens that are washed out and distort easily.

The 2021 F513 definitely has a better screen. I cannot figure out if it is IPS or TN, but if it's a TN, it's as good as my Dell Inspiron with a 270Nit IPS. It's not as bright or vivid as my Galaxy Pro 15 but MILES better that the 1080p TN on my Samsung Chromebook 4 plus.

I would like to confirm if the screen is IPS or TN, but when I use it back to back with my other laptops, it strikes me as decently average in a much improved way than before!
