I would strongly urge you to look at a laptop with an Intel Xe GPU at the minimum. This laptop will work but the GPU is just the minimum.

Don't think 8 gig is adequate for that. The os itself would take at least half, so, with a dozen or two browsing tabs and one or two apps, system would start paging.

So, you're likely going to need additional memory. The Laptop has 1 Slot to install memory, and 8 gig is soldered.

The max memory is either 40 gig or 20 gig, two different sites two different numbers, don't know which one is correct.

It's not the GPU. It's the CPU. I have had this model with 1220p and the experience is much better than 1215u but still mediocre. It's ok if you want functionality for web browsing but even for office it's a bit slow. The screen is surprisingly not that bad.

My thoughts on Asus & Best Buy...

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 for their store credit or exchange. Fk that!

If you bought it that recently, just utilize your credit card's chargeback. You won't have a hard time showing you've done your part to try to resolve it and don't have a working machine well within the warranty period.
