ASUS Laptop L510 Ultra Thin Laptop, 15.6” FHD Display, Intel Pentium Silver N5030 Processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage, Windows 11 Home in S Mode, 1 Year Microsoft 365, Star Black, L510MA-DH21

So I've had this laptop for a couple of weeks now. I wanted to get something light and portable to take with me to work and this fill that role perfectly. It is well constructed and can hold up to all of the work I've thrown at it so far. I did get the model with the Pentium Silver N5030 processor. It has had a Zoom meeting, two Word documents and a few internet tabs open at once without any issue. It does get hot under long use but does not need any fans to cool it which is nice. The screen is very lackluster, the viewing angles are terrible but really not that much of an issue as long as you always look at it straight on. The keyboard on this one was backlit, it was the L510 15.6in display.

I've had this laptop for almost a week and I really like it. This is the model with the Pentium Silver N5030 processor. This is not a laptop for gaming. I bought it for the Internet, e-mail, viewing some videos on Youtube, and some word processing. It works great for these tasks. It will probably also be good for social media such as Facebook and Twitter, but I don't use social media.It does not have a fan for cooling so I suggest having a cooling pad. Also, there two Type-A and one Type-C USB I/O ports. I suggest getting a connector for the Type-C port that will allow you to connect Type-A plugs to it just in case you need it. I will update if I encounter any problems.

Great value. I bought it refurbished. It looked new. I had a hard time getting the included Excel and Word software to work. The issue has been resolved and it works great now.

Before first boot, I installed an NVMe drive. Then on first boot, I entered the BioS disabling Secure Boot, which allows me to Boot from an USB drive. Flashed a Linux Distro to an USB drive, which I installed onto the new NVMe drive. After installing ArcoLinux, I then used GParted and reformatted (ext4) the eMMC drive that had Windows on it. It is now mounted as /Data. The 4GB of RAM is plenty for this system. Fresh Boot uses about 675MB of RAM. Even gave this install an 8GB Swap file, which it doesn't appear to have used as yet. Laptop is barely warm when on my lap thanks to the 6W N5030 Pentium Silver CPU. The screen could be brighter.

This laptop is somewhat lightweight and had decent screen quality, but it only lasted 3 months. I never used it for gaming at all. It was only used for online classes and basic email and browsing. Yesterday while reading an email, the screen went black ( while charging ) and hasn't done anything else since. It's not a battery or charging issue because it was at nearly full charge when it happened. It's unfortunate because I felt that the laptop took care of my very basic computer needs but even a decent used laptop would've lasted longer than this brand new disappointment.

The sound quality, in particular the volume is not good. Not good for gaming and has buffering issues just watching streams that my old laptop didn't have. Not a fan of the keyboard design.

Excellent display and lighter than most

As the tile states the Battery in this laptop is supposed to last 8 HOURS.AFTER 1 YEAR of light use it has NEVER lasted more than 2 hours.I am an Audio/Video Technician for Corporate Conferences/Meetings and Live Events.All I use this laptop for is to play Audio files for Walkup/Walkout, Ambient Music during breaks, DropBox, Internet connection and to run PC PowerPoint decks.I'm not doing any heavy Video editing, using VMix, OBS, Resolume, Livestream or Zoom Meetings. That's what my Mac and another Alienware PC I own is for.I am very disappointed.Buyer BEWARE!
