Decent specs for the price. The question I would ask is: how is the display?

No offense to the OP, or any lucky Asus fans, but FYI / FWIW - Here's my 4/16/2025, Asus Vivobook S 15 review on Best Buy:

I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death. Averaging about 5+ 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, & when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4-min.
They said the warranty does NOT include any replacements or refunds.

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

PS - This is the one I bought:

.

April 25 EDIT: I talked to the Best Buy store manager yesterday, hoping that they could step up & help a loyal customer out. Nope! But he did take this opportunity to tell me that I should have bought their ($180) Total membership plan (within 1 or 2 weeks of purchase), so that I **might** have been eligible to have gotten store credit or exchange.
No, I don't think I will.

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

I've been looking for a thin laptop for work and light gaming so I bit on this deal. Picked up one in fair condition today. It had a couple of minor nicks in two corners, but looked good and clean otherwise. Satisfied with the purchase so far.
