Expert tester comments
The ASUS Vivobook 15 F1502Z is not exactly a cutting-edge laptop. It has a screen with narrow viewing angles, older Wi-Fi 5 (rather than Wi-Fi 6), a USB 2.0 port, and a non-Thunderbolt USB-C port. This is at odds with the relatively current 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor from 2022, which gives it the capability to run most common tasks with ease. In a nutshell, you get good enough speed, but a screen that's uncomfortable to look at, and connectivity that is mostly not up to modern standards.
