ASUSVivobook S15 M5506W 15.6" 3K 120Hz OLED Laptop (AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 Processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, UK Layout RGB Backlit Keyboard with Co-Pilot Key, Windows 11 Home)

This was a difficult buy for me after reading the reviews for this laptop, however I decided to base my eventual decision to buy it on the reported specs. I have only been using it for one week or so but this is without a doubt the most amazing laptop of this quality for this price. I see now that it is about £100 cheaper than when I ordered it which really only bolsters my review. It isn’t a gaming laptop but it runs games as large as Warzone without over heating or glitching. It comes with a free three months of game pass. It hasn’t crashed even though I have nearly maxed out the hard drive’s storage. A dynamic OLED screen. It has a nice mature aesthetic and is inexplicably light. When it got delivered I thought they had left out the laptop or something because of how light the parcel was. I don’t know if I have been able to debunk all the negative comments and convince you to buy this but I definitely don’t regret this purchase and if you are a stand up person who uses computers sensibly and not aggressively I think you will enjoy this purchase just as I have. Once again 10/10.

I had to buy a new windows laptop to run some programs that won't work with Mac. I only needed something decently priced with fair specs, and this has been a great choice.Setup was easy (although it's been a while since I used Windows, there's a lot more steps to set up with now that slightly irritated me, but hey that's Windows). It didn't take the full 3 hours to fully charge the battery like it suggested in the manual, but I still left it plugged in. Life on the battery is decent, can't complain. I don't need a long life battery for hours and hours, so this suits my needs.As someone else mentioned, the screen is difficult to see from certain angles. For me, where it is on my desk to control my desktop laser machine, I had to buy a riser to sit it on and even then, I have to bend down to be eye level to see the screen clearly. I had to change the cursor color because it's hard to see unless you are directly in eyeline of the screen (and with goggles on it's even harder) - a small and fixable issue but I still wanted to mention it.I downloaded Steam (as someone who has an imac, it was a perk to be able to finally have a choice of all the games on there) and tried to set up my spare PS4 controller, however it just doesn't seem to want to work right. Whether that's an issue with this windows, or another issue entirely I don't know, but that's disappointing as I'm still trying to figure it out, and no amount of calibrating seems to work. So I haven't even been able to assess the game quality on this new laptop yet. I guess I'll just use the keyboard.But, bth, I didn't buy it for gaming, and it works well for its intended use. I got it in the Black Friday sales so the price was great.

I got this on a black Friday deal for round £240 and I think that is excellent value for money . It arrived very quickly and well packed .I'm not a heavy computer user so this suits for me . Its quick and does everything I need . Screen quality is good easy to read and angle . It doesn't have a card reader so i bought one ( about £10 ) which works fine . I use it mainly for web browsing , Skype and Youtube . I often have many screens open and it has no problem with that . It is very quick to start up .It came in Windows 11 S mode but this was easy to change ( assuming you want to ) . Note there is no ethernet connection . It has good connections USB 2 and 3.2 and USB C plus HDMI ..It has a slot for headphones or speakers . Overall I'm very pleased with it especially at the price . Price on here does seem to vary a fair bit , so keep an eye out and well worth it for decent money .

Quality laptop - does everything I want pretty much instantly. The screen quality is brilliant, as well as the Audio, feel of the keyboard and overall product quality. Would recommend this to friends & family.
