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

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank towardseternity
however, just in case anyone is confused, this is a B650 chipset
not a B650E
so no 5.0 pcie x16 slot
There are some many possible causes of the BSOD and the fact that it was "fixed" 3 times kinda indicates it's not th emotherboard (assuming it was replaced).

3 times at their recommended service provider, Geek Squad, s/w & h/w scans... viruses found & removed. 3rd time there, they re-installed windows.
1 time at Asus service center in Jefferson, Indiana. More scans, re-installed windows.
AFAIK, no hardware was replaced. They had it for 7 days in the service center. Can't confirm if they actually did anything... except maybe made it worse.
Didn't show me anything, just kept repeating NO refunds/replacements, via email with their Escalations team, and on AsusHelpUS on X. They also kept saying, Ask Best Buy for a replacement.... BB said no, ask Asus. BB also kept saying I should have bought their $180 Total Membership BS, then they would have given me a replacement or store credit (within 60 days of Feb 11). Fuk BB too!
As a counterpoint, I have an ASUS motherboard, power supply, and router that have been running since 2021 with no issues.
As for the deal, seems like a decent deal of looking to build a low budget PC.
