Review on 💻 ASUS Laptop L510 Ultra Thin 15.6” FHD Display, Intel Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage, Windows 10 Home in S Mode, 1 Year Microsoft 365 - Star Black by Joseph Morris

Let me start by saying this is probably the cheapest general purpose laptop, that you could have bought. You may find that it's not a Chromebook. Moderate your expectations, you get what you pay for. However, it's still a good laptop and a very good laptop for the price. I use mine specifically for making music on my side gigs and it works great. I have an ASUS VivoBook ($680) which has made me switch completely to ASUS branded laptops. I *LOVE* the big screen and slim design of this L510 laptop. The keyboard is responsive and backlit. eMMC hard drive storage provides faster boot response (< 20 seconds to power on and go to the login screen) than a hard disk drive (HDD). The battery really lasts for hours, especially in sleep mode. I definitely recommend ASUS for light personal use every day. However, there are some notable differences that you should consider before purchasing the L510. He has a prototype design; Half of the laptop screen is attached to the bottom but should be more secure. Adjusting the monitor angle requires less effort than the VivoBook and can cause it to fall backwards if you pull the computer in any direction. Next thing you know, the monitor won't stand up on its own. The trackpad/mouse may become less sensitive when there is oil/food/obstacles on your hand. A quick fix with a USB mouse, but that shouldn't be the case with a new laptop. It's probably because of the processor that you won't buy this laptop. The Intel Celeron N4020 is a low budget Intel processor and works like one. This definitely makes the laptop inexpensive. I wouldn't do too many things at once (like 3+) with this processor. When I run Google Chrome or my music software on the device, my task manager shows that the CPU is at 100% utilization (this may not be correct; nothing has stuck, frozen or even slowed down on my laptop yet). I do not recommend this to gamers, video editors or even streamers. I'll probably save a few hundred bucks and upgrade to AMD Ryzen or at least Intel i7/i9. The laptop is still worth considering, but the processor could be significantly better. But for the price it is what it is. I immediately removed malware and junk from the device (there is 15GB installed) to speed up the laptop and reduce background CPU activity. To be honest, WinOS (I have Windows 10 Home) might be too intensive to use on this processor. I would suggest considering LinuxOS to speed up your device and free up a lot of storage space. I'm using this for a role, but if you only need a computer for one task, some people might be better off using single board computers (they cost 1/10 the price) for specific tasks. Weigh your options and, of course, do your research. I needed a portable and presentable high-performance laptop and that's what I got. I would update this before swapping it out because it's busy. With a better processor and a solid state drive (SSD), the laptop can easily go from $270 to a $600 laptop. Of course, this is a budget laptop. But understanding its limitations when purchasing one can really help extend its lifespan. That job is done for me and I am currently getting my money back in performances. But I have another personal laptop that I can use to do everything else, so I don't depend on it.
