Just bought this, thanks OP!

I've been looking for a long time for a reasonably priced laptop with 32GB RAM & Ryzen CPU at 15" or larger screen.

-------------- Mar 14 Update ---------------

No shade to the OP.

This is by far, my worse experience with a laptop.

I just sent this DM to Asus on X today.

I got my ASUS VivoBook S 15 from Best Buy on Feb 11 Worked okay until about 2 weeks ago when I did an Asus firmware update & installed Canon printer drivers... then about 50+ BSOD/crashes since.
I've restored it several times, which seem to help a bit, then back to BSOD
I've done a Windows component repair... same result.
I've reset windows... same result.

l've gone back to my old laptop.

Did I get a lemon?
Can I get a refund?

11:47 AM Sent to u/asususa
And to u/AsusHelpUS at 650p

-------------- April 21 Update ---------------

FYI - Here's a paraphrase of my 4/16/2025, Asus Vivobook S 15 review on Best Buy:

I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death / crash about 5+ times per day.
- The Geek Squad "FIXED it" THREE times, but shortly after I got it home, same thing, BSOD!
- Sent it into the Asus service center, and when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4 minutes. They said the WARRANTY does NOT include any replacements or refunds.

I will never buy another Asus product. And will avoid buying from Best Buy also.

.

PS - Asus has a D- rating at the Better Business Bureau - Failure to respond to 83 complaint(s) filed against business

$1000 and I'm in! At 1299 it's overpriced without a video card.

My thought exactly. I would have considered it if it had 2tb or more for the price.
