Review on πŸ’» ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 2-in-1 Laptop, 14” FHD Touch Display, Ryzen 7 5700U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Stylus, Windows 10, Fingerprint Reader, Black, TM420UA-DS71T by Keith Barra

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great value for money but badly needed drivers.

Compare this to the Dell XPS 2-in-1 9310. The VivoBook Flip 14 has it all AND comes with a half price stylus! Very crappy. There is so much to love about this laptop and it deserves the positive reviews it receives. On battery power it uses the 25W plug-in profile (which drains the battery very quickly) and when plugged in it uses the slow 15W battery profile (half the frame rate in games). It became obvious that Asus would not fix the problem. So I have to downgrade my rating to 2 stars. Instead I will try running Linux and maybe that will solve the problem. On paper this laptop looks very attractive and Asus has even done a good job but all the drivers are wrong which makes it rather disappointing in the long run.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • old
