Asus S510UQ-EB76 User Reviews and Ratings

I bought this on impulse, I didn't intend to buy another laptop for at least two or three years.But after seeing my daughter with a computer that had an SSD, I will admit to jealousy.My old computer took about three minutes to start and was much slower than her's was and I guess that stuck in my thoughts.I was idly looking on here for another Asus that had an SSD and couldn't find one for my normal five hundred dollars and under price when I clicked on this and was like a schoolgirl with a crush.The processor, HD screen, SSD, plus another 1TB memory, I added it to my cart and bought it.I had regret for a few days until it came and I opened the box and saw it, I had been intending to return it but, instant puppy-love hit me again.Three people have asked to buy my older computer, but I have refused because I still feel an attachment for the old one.

The laptop is a good value for what it provides. But, the screen and sound though fair are a little underwhelming. My older ASUS NV53V has much brighter screen and it sounds a lot better than this one.Everything else is top notch.----Update 7/19/2017I have used this laptop for a month now. To be fair, the display and sound are both as one would expect other laptops in the price bracket. In the era of rating inflation, I will up my rating to full 5 stars.

Excellent!

Great full-featured Windows 10 laptop. it has pretty much any port you would want, including USB Type-C for future applications. I wish that it charged like my Asus Chromebook: with USB Type-C; but I would guess it's because it uses more power than the connection can supply. Right out of the box I had an application for it: I installed Kodi with my Plex Add-on, then connected it to my TV Via HDMI and I was running home movies via my Plex server in less than 20 minutes.Like with any OEM laptop, there is some bloatware to it. I uninstalled most of it. The year subscription to McAfee is a joke: go with Comodo if you want a quality security application.

Absolutely wonderful! works well and just what i needed.

This computer has been an absolute pleasure to use.It feels light and lively both in hand and at your finger tips. My user experience has been responsive, stutter-less and reliable. I got the higher trim, and it is plenty powerful enough to comfortably edit HD videos and RAW photos. When I'm just writing or browsing, the fan rarely turns on, which gives me comfortable 5~6 hours of battery life. I can watch 2 movies back to back on battery.My only hesitation before I bought it was the screen. Watching YouTube reviews on another screen didn't give me an accurate sense of what the screen will look like. And budget laptops tend to skimp on screens. So I just rolled the dice and was pleasantly surprised! The matte screen reminds me of late 2000s 15 inch Macbook pro, the last all-silver models, which I enjoyed tremendously. I definitely prefer matte over glossy screens. The color is vivid and not wild, and very consistent all over the screen.The body and keyboard do not feel as solid as heavier and more expensive metal laptops. But it weight that much less, and Asus did a great job with coating so it does not look or feel cheap.This is my second Asus laptop, and if they keep it up like this, they'll have all my future computer money!

ok

Great Screen Size and not too Heavy, Thinner than most. Amazon Prime Delivery Delayed

I was very nervous to buy this laptop because I wasn't sure how it would be but I love it. It's worked well for the past 2 months I've had it. It is very quick, especially when it boots up. The screen has an amazing display and there are no real issues with the product. The only downfall is that there is no CD/DVD player, and the keys aren't really backlit, but other than that it functions as it should!

This laptop has a feel of very high quality. Also, the parts have good quality for the price. My wife uses it for studying, and leaves everything open. The memory in the laptop has been able to handle everything open, and the ssd drive makes the boot time quick. Another great feature is the battery life. It has a really long lasting battery. This is a good laptop for someone looking for a higher end model laptop for work.

fastest PC out there

This laptop is perfect.

Good stuff

Answered my expectetion

Our old laptop was 6 years old and could not keep up to the 4K internet so we chose the VivoBook S over anything we looked at, it has easy start up easy to follow prompts on set up,it is very fast when doing your work or just browsing I like the lighted back ground on the key board.Overall I highly recommend the VivoBook S.

I've had this now for a month and have had zero issues with it. I bought this primarily to get me through Grad school and I simply did not want to carry my heavy 6 year old Alienware M14x to class anymore.The Asus is much lighter, powers up/down fast, runs silent, and thinner than what it replaced.

Fast, light, no problems setting up. Everything I wanted in a laptop.

Con la mitad del precio de un MacBook Air una maquina mucho más rápida y de calidad. Espero se mantenga así en el tiempo.

I really like it, so much that we decided to buy another one for my wife.

Awesome. Only thing I don?t like it that it has no numerical keyboard . You have to use upper keyboard numbers. But otherwise awesome! I have always had good result with ASUS. A+

I wish it had a number keypad on the right hand side.

This is a punchy little laptop for its price that pleasantly surprised me in a lot of ways, and disappointed me in others. Part of my amazement with some of it probably has to do with the fact that my everyday workhorse laptop is a couple of years old, now. It certainly feels outdated next to this thing! I'll start with the good.* The laptop is REALLY light. When the box came, my husband didn't believe there could really be a laptop inside. He thought I was joking when I told him that's what it was. Weight doesn't honestly matter to me that much because I don't tote my laptop around, but if weight's an issue for you -- I really can't imagine laptops getting much lighter than this.* It turns on fast. Really fast. It has the OS on a solid state drive, and then a terabyte drive for storage, and the advantage to this is that solid state drives boot up super fast. This is a laptop that I'd have less of a problem with shutting down regularly, because turning it back on again takes about the same amount of time as it takes my laptop to come out of sleep mode. It's that fast.* It packs a fair amount of power without the heat. I've tested it on both Overwatch and Minecraft, and while it won't do either of those games at their best graphics settings (or even near-best), it does run them, and runs them smoothly. Moreover, it does so without producing a lot of heat, which surprised me. I have ordered a fancy chill pad to go with this laptop, since I anticipate it's going to be doing a lot of playing games with high graphics requirements, but I'm not seeing a lot of heat issues, even without it.* I thought the whole 'thin bezel' thing was silly until I saw this laptop's screen. It really does make my old laptop's screen seem outdated and clunky.* The speakers are decent, for what they are. They don't have much of a bass, but they did bring out some things in the other registers of the music I was listening to that impressed me. If you just want 'thump, thump, thump', they're not the speakers for you, But they might hold up okay, for music that has a little more than that going on.* Battery life was pretty decent. My roommate played Overwatch for hours on it and didn't realize that it wasn't plugged in.Now the bad:* This is the biggest concern I have with this laptop: The charger gets REALLY hot, and the wire itself seems flimsy. Between the hot charger and the flimsy wire, I'm expecting that my charger isn't going to last long. This isn't something I'm terribly comfortable leaving plugged in and walking away, either.* It comes with a lot of bloatware which you then have to go through and uninstall, which is kindof a pain. I don't get why companies do this. Also, it tries to push McAfee on you. I don't know why companies do this, either.* The speakers, while decent, could be better. But I've been saying that about my laptops for years, and have yet to own one where they ARE better. Still, when my iPhone has better sound, it feels like there's room for improvement.* Given how light and thin it is, I'd actually be a little afraid to tote this thing around too much without some kind of really protective case. It seems like it could get damaged too easily.

Love the design of the laptop and pretty much everything works smooth. I give a 3 star only because I am only 10 days into this laptop and the mouse pad is not very responsive. I have tried everything I could to try and remedy the problem, but I could not.

Good laptop with ugly display

I have had this laptop for about a month now and I have to say I am very disappointed. The cons far outweigh the pros.Pros:Screen - This is by far the greatest feature on this laptop. The colors are vibrant and crisp. Also the narrow bezel creates a great viewing experience.Processor - The i7-7500u is fast and can handle multi-tasking no problem.Portability - This laptop is very light and thin especially for a 15" modelCons:Screen - The beautiful screen can't live up to its full potential because this screen is a HUGE dust and dirt magnet. Oil and dirt from typing on the keyboard gets onto the screen whenever you close the laptop leaving square-shaped marks on the screen.Sound - The speakers on this laptop are AWFUL. I'm not sure if my unit is defective or not, but whenver I raise the volume over 50% (which is not that loud to begin with) my speakers omit a harsh crackling sound. I emailed tech support and they told me to re-install the audio driver. I did this 3 times to no avail.Battery - The 8 hours of battery life isn't true. I can maybe get 5 hours out of this computer with light use. 5 hours isn't terrible but I don't appreciate the false advertisement.Functionality - One thing that really bothers me is that the function keys on this laptop are locked. Essentially, that means I have to hold down the fn key whenever I want to raise or lower the volume/screen brightness. I have searched for a solution to this issue and have found nothing. This is something that should be an easy fix but is not.Is this laptop and acceptable daily driver that gets all my work done? Yes it is.Would I ever buy it again or recommend it to a friend? Definitely not

my laptop is shutting down 2-3 times in week showing errors always different i tried contact product support twice and nobody answered to me and when i contacted ASUS support service they told me what i need to do and on the end they told me that it has internal issue but seller or even product support is not reacting on my emails ...
