        Correct PC but...

        Overall, the PC is decent, but there are a few negative points. Firstly, the photos in the advert are misleading because the keys are black and not silver-grey, and the "Asus Vivobook" logo is painted grey and not chrome as the photos might suggest. This is just an aesthetic detail, but one that may be important in making the right choice for some people.
        Performance-wise, it's fine, but with 8GB of RAM, the PC tends to slow down when I open too many web pages (no gaming or demanding programmes). This can probably be solved by adding more RAM to the free slot.
        The most worrying thing is the recurring but not constant black screen flashes. I was supposed to send it in for repair under the warranty (Asus after-sales service), but as the problem had disappeared for a while and I needed the PC for car diagnostics, I preferred to keep it until I could see if the problem returned. As it is coming back, I'll probably have to deal with it.
        I read in another comment that I wasn't the only one to have this black screen problem. If other people are affected, perhaps we should consider taking Asus to court?

        Buy Laptop

        I fell in love with this beautiful machine. Corresponds to my needs for a contained price. Good advice. I recommend a visit to the shop, nothing replaces contact.

        Top speed

        Laptop arrived without any problem, functional in its original packaging, plus all the planets aligned, ordered on Monday and arrived in New Caledonia on Friday, pretty fast over 22,000 kilometres.

        ASUS Vivobook 16 inch

        Very good machine with excellent value for money. Fast shipping and careful packaging.
        The machine was installed with Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: installation in 10 minutes. Booted in 7 seconds...
        No Ethernet port on this machine, but the problem is quickly solved with a USB-C / RJ45 adapter, available on this site.

        Super

        Everything went very smoothly, the PC is top notch and works perfectly.
        I was able to contact someone by phone, which is becoming rare.

        Computer failure

        I am satisfied with my order, but my computer is already being repaired after one month, it has a black screen. I hope that the sales department will make a gesture.

        Really nice screen

        This model is intended to replace my previous ASUS from 2011 which still works but is no longer very efficient. This new 16/10 model with this IPS panel is a really nice screen for both images and text; in addition, the brightness increase/decrease steps allow for a perfect setting. The keyboard is very pleasant, and the battery life is within recent standards.
        In short, the whole thing is light and efficient, except for one thing: the sound is rather mediocre, and that's why I took one star off.
        My previous ASUS from 2011 X52J has a better sound (ALTEC Lansing at the time).
        Overall, this is a good laptop with a great screen.

        Good compromise

        The grip is pleasant. The screen rendering is good. The 16" screen is particularly comfortable for word processing and data tables. The touchpad is very practical. It is a pity that the keyboard is not backlit.
