Meet the Asus VivoBook F510UA

Measuring 0.8 by 14.2 by 9.6 inches (HWD), the VivoBook F510UA boasts a sleek, modern look that belies its budget status.

It's a Full HD Panel

The 15.6-inch full HD (1,920-by-1,080) LED backlit display produces a bright, crisp image. It lacks touch support, but because of this omission, Asus was able to forego the glossy screen coating that accompanies touchscreens in favor of a matte finish that keeps glares and reflections at bay.

A Spacious Keyboard

The roomy keyboard is comfortable and allows you to type in near silence. A cheap, clacky keyboard it is not. The keys provide narrow travel but a firm feel and offer a muffled click.

What's on the Keyboard Deck

The plastic keyboard deck flexes a bit underneath your fingertips when typing, but only near the middle of the keyboard.

A Look at the Left Edge...

Here, you'll find two Type-A USB 3.0 ports and an SD card slot.

...and What's on the Right

On this edge are a Type-A USB 3.0 port and a Type-C USB port, along with an HDMI port, a combo headphone/mic jack, and the power connector.
