ASUS VivoBook 14 (2021), AMD Ryzen 3 3250U, 14-inch (35.56 cms) FHD Thin and Light Laptop (8GB/256GB SSD/Office 2019/Windows 10/Integrated Graphics/Silver/1.6 Kg), M415DA-EK322TS

Tested for the following and they are all working fine.1. Web Browsing2. Word, Excel, Powerpoint3. Coding with IDEs Eclipse, Netbeans, etc4. Setup of WSL5. Media consumptionPros:1. Boot time is just 10seconds with Windows 10 and is the same after upgrading to Windows 11.2. Free Office Student is also good.3. RAM is upgradable.4. Can attach 2.5inch internal SSD/HDD to expand storage.5. Display quality is also good.6. Light weight. Easy to carry daily.Cons:1. The product is fine for 2022 standards. It will be slow in the next 4-5years.2. RAM can be expanded up to 12GB only. Upgradability up to 16GB should have been good.3. SSD/HDD upgradability needs a connector which is not provided. Shouldn't expect this at this price point as well.All and all it is a good at the current price range and in the current situation.

Brought this laptop with an exchange offer and this is really a good value for money.And as a software engineer who has to do coding this laptop works very nicely, has a good enough display quality, and the lightweight provides good portability.And writing this review 2 years after I have to say I did not have to repair it apart from small fixes for the screen that could be done by anyone at home.Could work more on the battery life as it is not at par with other features of this laptop and please note that the camera quality is horrible.

At this price point, this is one of the best laptops. Performance is faster, lightweight, and also looks great. I have another laptop with the same screen size. Because of the comparatively smaller bezels on this laptop, this looks very small. Impressed with the performance. No lagging. I am usually not a fan of Windows but I am not feeling any slowness (may be because of the faster SSD) on this laptop so I am kind of liking it. 😁 Also it provides a decent battery backup and performs well even if it is not plugged in.

Likes:1. Excellent boot up time with new NVME SSD. Measured it, just took 5.8s. ASUS claims that there is additional 2.5” SSD slot which is empty, but I haven’t verified it2. Free upgrade to Windows 11 (some people don’t like Windows 11, but I wholeheartedly took the free upgrade)3. Bundled with MS Office 2019 Home & Student. What more a student would require?4. Full HD crisp screen resolution. Great for viewing at 125% scale.5. Great keyboard and buttery smooth trackpad with in-built Fingerprint scanner.6. Lovely grey colorDislikes:1. Horrible camera quality. Definitely recommend an additional Logitech webcam2. Not for Gaming. AMD graphics is good only for light gaming.3. Fan noise audible, but I have it on an external laptop fan table. So tolerated.

I bought this on 5/Dec/2021. Been a laptop user for ages. On the Amazon portal the specs looked great and seems to fit for basic needs. Upon trying it out I found that the two major issues with the laptop that outweighs certain plus.1) Very Poor Screen Quality. Does not meet the needs of even basic users. Colors fade even if you tilt by 5-10 Degree. Nothing to say about contrast as I could not feel it at all. Brightness adjustment is there. But nothing much can be done. It claims to be 220 Nits screen. Does not seems to be really so.2) Webcam quality is horrible. It is like having a VGA camera from old Nokia cell phoneMain reason for me to chose the laptop were 14” size, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. I took screen quality and Camera for granted as I though a Company like Asus will not falter there. But, it is a worst product. Don’t go for it.

The media could not be loaded. I love this laptop very much it is flat and lightweight, it's battery also good and it has Microsoft office 2019,it looks very premium. The packing was also good. thank you Amazon😊😊

It is good for work and stock market especially your a intraday trader and if we tal about gaming it is ok for games like gta 5 you can play gta 5 in it with smooth gameplay and you can run gta in 60fps with nice graphics you can play but games like rdr it's not ok if your just looking for a standard and work from home or office you don't want to buy this you can buy a good laptop for work at cheaper than this but if your a student and you want a gaming and studies laptop you can buy it but it's storage is only 236 gb and tha system takes 51 gb space you have only 185 gb of storage

Fairly fast, boot up speed is really fast, apps opening and switching in between tabs is also very zippy.Battery life is average at best.Screen could have been more colourful and viewing angles are not much great.Build quality feels mediocre. Lot of room for improvement. We can actually feel plasticity nature of laptop.Internet and Bluetooth etc work flawlessly, u will actually feel good with it's fast fluidic nature.Overall value for money.
