Expert tester comments
The ASUS Vivobook F1500E is nothing fancy. It's a 15.6-inch laptop that can be used for everyday office suite tasks, online communications and media streaming. It has an OK range of ports on it, including a USB-C port, but this is of the non-Thunderbolt variety. It's performance was OK overall, but we found its Wi-Fi speed to be sluggish.
