ASUSVivoBook Flip 14 Thin and Light 2-in-1 Laptop, 14” FHD Touchscreen, Intel Pentium Silver N5030 Processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage, Windows 10 Home in S Mode, Light Grey, Fingerprint, J401MA-ES21T

This is a great little laptop, after a bit of tweaking. I needed something silent as a normal laptop's fan noise plays havoc with my Tinnitus and this is ideal - no fan, very little heat, crystal clear display and light weight. It was super slow to start with but changing it's performance setting from being "optimized for looks" to "optimized for speed" made a huge difference. I needed to adjust the basic font to make the words crisp and clear as performance optimization renders them pixilated but that's simple.Initially a web page would take a few minutes to load and is now instant. I use LibreOffice and can happily do spreadsheets and type up documents and YouTube plays clear video with really nice sound.I also modified the paging file settings so that the system now uses 16GB of the hard drive as virtual RAM and that cranked up the speed a lot too. The laptop has an empty NVMe socket built in so I added a 1TB SSD and now I have plenty of storage too. However, be aware that doing so probably voids warranty but at the price of this laptop I'm not too concerned. I chose a lower speed SSD to reduce the operating heat but even so copying 50GB from an external USB hard drive only took 10 minutes, which is fine.All said I'm very happy I'm now able work away in peace and quiet with this laptop sitting on my bare legs without burning them and also get a days worth of use in one charge.

Decent laptop for school

Right out of the box, Windows is crashing. There is a ton of garbage apps which may be causing it. I'm sure all of them are unsupported by Microsoft. Stop loading your trash on my computer.The touchscreen isn't very responsive, which makes me not want to use it. You can tell it's cheaply made, just like most of the rest of the laptop. Day 1, a key popped off. Why? Keyboards have been around for over 50 years. There is zero excuse for keys popping off.The sound is decent for what it costs. I had no issues with wireless, Bluetooth, the trackpad, the 1/8th stereo jack, or folding the laptop into tablet mode. The screen brightness was fine for what I was using it for. As for speed, terrible. This is probably due to the garbage apps, and lack of testing.I would not buy this again due to poorly tested software, and overly cheap hardware.ASUS, it's a fail. You can do better. If you want this review removed, send me a working laptop.-MrNetTek

Good

This laptop is awesome for one reason: It does NOT have any of the outdated, clunky USB Type-A ports.I’m cool with people being able to buy obsolete technology for many years even decades, but it’s absolutely maddening when there are zero options for Windows customers to choose laptops without antiquated ports. The same problem happened a long time ago with that nasty VGA connector. For many years after digital video entered the market, there was not a single laptop or projector on the market without that hideous VGA connector. Thumbs up for removing old, boxy ports, like VGA and USB-A.
