Design
With the Asus Vivobook 15 X515EA-EJ3288W, you can easily work in multiple programs at the same time without the laptop stuttering. The viewing angle of the screen is less pleasant.
Appearance and size The Asus laptop has a beautiful but simple design. I can easily enter my numbers on the numeric keypad. The keyboard is very pleasant to type on and looks neat. This laptop has a 15.6-inch screen, which makes it on the large side. That's why I often work with this laptop in one place and don't often take it with me. This laptop has enough USB A ports to which I can connect my accessories.
Multitasking This laptop has an Intel Core i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM. This makes multitasking between different programs smooth. The laptop does not freeze or stutter. In addition to various browsers, I also used Word and Spotify. I easily edited photos in Adobe Photoshop.
Display This laptop has a 15.6-inch Full HD screen. I see a lot of details and I can easily work in two windows next to each other. The anti-reflection screen made it easy for me to work in the sun, because my screen was still clearly visible. Due to the TN panel, I could not see my screen equally well from every viewing angle. For example, when I tilted the screen, part of the screen became a little brighter. As a result, I occasionally had to pay more attention to how I placed the laptop.

This Asus Vivobook is a mid-range model, comparable to other laptops in the mid-range segment. An Asus I had before was my best experience with this type of laptop. However, after a few months of use, I would call this a bad buy. But read on, because it's a personal experience.
Ok, the fact that several programs are now interfering or even not or barely working is of course already a major negative (even Adobe Acrobat crashes) that others may also experience.
More annoying is that I have my second monitor, NB. An Asus Zenscreen that cannot be connected with USB-C... to the two predecessors (HP and Medion) was then effortless. This Asus laptop does not even work with the power support of the extra monitor.
Of course, I knew when I bought it that it doesn't have a keyboard backlight. I thought it wouldn't be a problem. But if you are used to it, like me, it is difficult if you suddenly have to turn on the light now that the days are shorter.
I read that someone thinks it is a plus that little software is included. I think he means the extras (McAfee etc.), because there is a lot of Asus promotion and some utilities that are of little use to me. And my virus program (AVG Ultimate) is busy, because too often MyAsus wants to inspect and run everything on the laptop; moreover, things that most people are not looking forward to. At least I don't, but turning it off doesn't make much sense.
And I don't know what the percentage of left-handers is in Asia, but in the West it's 10%. Right-handed people use a separate mouse on the right side of the laptop. It is therefore irritating that the designer designed almost all USB ports on the right, which means that external hard drives, etc., get in the way of smooth movement.
I mainly work with Word, Outlook and Acrobat. The battery lasts about 4 hours; too short for such a new device where they claim it would last 10 hours (depending on what you do with it. But I suspect that word processing is the least stressful).
Another stupid design thing, the light to see that the computer is really off is on the side, not on top. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating now. But in practice it is inconvenient. There are only two lights on top (CapsLock and Microphone).
Of course, this review was written after yet another frustrated wait for two programs to possibly respond. And then I think about the fun with the previous laptops. And how annoying it is to have an unreliable laptop. Just like a car, a laptop should just work and in the case of a laptop, don't bother with programs you work with regularly. If CoolBlue extends its return policy to six months, this ASUS will be returned today.
Well, two nice things to end it on a somewhat positive note. This Asus has an Fn+Esc button. I don't use it and haven't checked whether it is useful yet. And on the F-bar there are buttons to turn the speaker, microphone and cam camera on/off.

The laptop is easy and convenient to use. However, the battery life is very short. The laptop runs out of power quickly. Overall a good laptop.
