ASUS Vivobook 15 F512DA-IS79 24GB 512GB Ryzen 7 3700U laptop

Vivobook 15 F512DA for daily productivity

The ASUS Vivobook 15 F512DA is a 15.6-inch laptop powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 3700U quad-core processor with a base clock of 2.30GHz and a turbo frequency of 4GHz. It ships with 24GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics handle the 1920 x 1080 Full HD non-touch display. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed for immediate business or home use.

Ports and expansion for peripherals

Connectivity includes one USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.1 Type-C Gen1 port and an HDMI output for external monitors. A micro SD card reader and a headphone/microphone combo jack cover media transfer and audio. Wireless networking uses 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.1. The 720p webcam and fingerprint reader support video calls and secure login without extra dongles. No optical drive is fitted, keeping the chassis slim.

Cooling and battery in typical workloads

A 45W power supply charges the 2-cell 37 WHr battery that fits inside the 3.85 lb slate gray chassis. The integrated Vega 10 GPU shares system memory, so sustained heavy graphics loads will warm the palm rest and spin the internal fan. For office applications, web browsing and video playback the system runs quietly and delivers several hours of unplugged runtime. Buyers needing discrete GPU performance or larger battery capacity should consider other form factors.
