I'm pretty sure the 2021 model is a 250nit IPS screen (Not amazing but very respectable for the price range)
This link review is for an AMD version, but I think it's the same chassis and screen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S...d7o
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!
edit: BeSpoke Black...
8GB on board with one slot maybe?
https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/F.../techspec/
2280 drive and a 2.5" bay?
the processor has 48 Iris Xe cores.
And, I guess, if anyone cares, the AMD version has a 100% sRGB, 300 nits screen available for those willing to try to change the screen.

Review: https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews...ivobook-15 [tomsguide.com]
Even though the SATA is not as good as a NVMe, I just use the second drive as a clone bootup drive for backups. So it's perfectly fine and I have old SATA SSD 2.5 drives hanging around.

This same processor is used for a Chromebook now and it should chew through webpages with no issues.
Here's a M513 disassembly with appropriate caveats as to applicability to an intel version. The chassis doesn't look too sturdy but that's the bargain bin for you:

By the way, this seems like an improved Gateway $349 laptop. Even uses the same type of power adaptor.
Screen is decent, for this price range I don't think you'll find much better honestly. Decent battery life, I get about 6 hours with realistic usage. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase, oh and the keyboard lights up with is important to me. Given the viewing angles I'm sure this is a TA panel.

Also, and very importantly, the touchpad works normally on this for me. On my $349 Gateway the touchpad was frustrating to the point I stopped using in favor of a wireless mouse. I have spare RAM and a NVME drive.
When I installed LTSC on the Gateway I loved that background Windows activity dropped to close to nothing.
And the sound is completely decent. It gets loud and is well balanced. Certainly better than the Gateway.
