The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

A lot of people have already written about VivoBook's about this: there is no SSD driver (when installing Windows, it does not see the disk) it's easy to solve - download the SSD driver, upload it to a USB flash drive with the Windows installer and at the installation stage the installer itself makes it possible to install the driver, after that the disk will appear In chapter. The processor without load has a temperature of 40-60C, at load 80-95C, I didn’t think that the i3 would get so hot, I solved the problem by turning off the turbo boost when the laptop is running on battery (in the power settings I set the processor performance to 99%), now the temperature is off without load 35-40С, under load 45-60С. The back cover is hard to remove very tightly sits in the case. In general, the laptop is good, I took it with a good discount, so far I’m satisfied, later I’ll add an operatos plate and add a review : I threw in a Crucial CT8G4SFRA32A chip (ASUS installs these chips from the factory on fatter configurations), everything clearly works in two-channel at a frequency of 3200 MHz without dancing with a tambourine. The back cover has fasteners in the center, in order to remove it, you must first unfasten it from the case along the edges, then the center moves away with a slight effort.

Pros
  • The laptop is relatively light, thin, well assembled, the battery lasts about 5 hours with simple surfing, the matrix gives a good image, there is an additional slot for RAM, compact charging, although the processor is i3 (2/4), its performance turned out to be higher than I expected (like i5 6600K or i3 9100). Included were stickers, a trifle, but nice
Cons
  • Problem with SSD driver during Windows installation (see comment). Pretty hot (see comment). Of the little things: sky and very easily soiled plastic case, tight USB sockets, keyboard without backlight.
