Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect either one 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

In addition to the dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, there are also two 5 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports. You can enhance your multitasking by using the HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 ports to connect external monitors.

Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps.

I am learning to enjoy my ASUS 15.6 Vivobook. It is a replacement for my nearly 14 year old laptop that has seen better days. I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months. I do mainly internet browsing, some productivity work (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), some low intensity gaming, and on occasion some video editing for my socials. Bottom line - You should probably get one while qtys and pricing are good. Pros - It has the specs I wanted (i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) at a great price. More than enough computing power for gaming, casual internet browsing, and the occasional homework/essay. It included FREE 2-Day Shipping - I am on the West Coast. Screen colors are vibrant, keyboard is keyboard-y with backlit keys. The laptop itself is not the lightest out there, but is hardly the boat anchor ROG ASUS I still own that is on its last legs. It's offered thru a reputable dealer. Cons (ish) - Only 1920x1080 resolution and no touchscreen. I haven't really encountered any other negatives so far. It's been a while since I purchased MY own laptop. To be transparent, I have helped recommend and even purchased several laptops over the years for my family and friends. My previous-current laptop is a still-running ASUS G51J (i7 CPU 1st Gen, 6GB RAM, 500GB 2.5 HDD) - battery doesn't charge, but still works plugged in. I purchased it from B&H also circa 2010. Being a frugal tinkerer myself, but wanting the best value for my budget, I researched and compared several buying sources including big box stores, national (U.S.) retail chains and even Amazon, but I still chose B&H. Even though I am on the West Coast, I still found value in the products they offer as well as the service and buying experience. Did I mention FREE 2-Day shipping from the East Coast (NY). Hope this review helps. 5

Entire game changer! Love the weight, or lack thereof 5

Wonderful bottom screen, but I’m worried that windows 11 is interfering if anybody is having a problem I will recommend cutting off transparency and settings accessibility so you won’t have so many stutters on your main screen because you will lose a lot of FPS if you don’t 5

NOTE: I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for my feedback. I needed a replacement everyday laptop for work / personal use. I looked around quite a bit at various manufactures, specs, sizes, and colors......this one won out. I really wanted a 14in'ish laptop for the size and weight, but I this one was acceptable at the slightly larger 15.6in screen size but still a good overall size and weight. I also REALLY like the orange highlights on the ESC key and the bumper on the bottom. PROs: Great value for the specs; i9 processor, 1TB hardrive, 16gb ram, Intel Iris AND Intel ARC graphics (assignable in Windows settings to specific apps), nice backlit keyboard with auto shutoff when not in use, full number pad, fingerprint reader on power button that works well, physical camera cover, great trackpad, and good typing experience. CONs: 1920x1080p screen resolution, wish it had at least 16:10 or 2K resolution. Memory can't be upgraded, it is soldered onto the motherboard with no spare slots. BUT, I knew both these things before I bought it, so not truly CONs, just items to be aware of. One item that has been odd is USB-C charging. This laptop comes with a DC pin power supply and does technically work with USB-C charging through the TB4 port. However, I have multiple USB-C power supplies that work with my Lenovo laptops and none of them work with this laptop. It has a 19V at 4.74A power input, which none of the (reputable) power supplies I have can provide. Just an odd quirk that I was not expecting, so for now I use the DC pin power supply. Overall, I would recommend this laptop to friends and family, especially when you can get it on sale at B&H like I did. 5
