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:

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!

8GB on board with one slot maybe?

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.

It's for my daughter who just broke her laptop that she uses for school (6th grade).
Thanks!

I'm like the old guy who drives below the speed limit in his golf hat.
On 11th Gen Intel it REQUIRES Intel RST drivers even if I'm not going to do RAID because of VMD?
Also bought the Costco Lenovo IdeaPad 3 for $510. Will compare the two when it arrives

I'm going to be doing basic Video editing at low resolutions and need a good cheap laptop.
