    You should hurry to update your review, as it seems that asks used a much better screen (not tn, but ips), a chassis of aluminum and even a stronger battery. I, other words you review as it is now is completely worthless, which is a real pity, because it is accurate and well made, only it reviews a product that does not exist. So please hurry up! It seems, the new product is now on the market for at least 2-3 months!

      I’ve reviewed a certain product, at that time. In the meantime things might have changed, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to modify the existing review of that product :)

        What about writing a new one on the new VivoBook TP 501, actually on the market? I would greatly appreciate it.

        I couldn’t get it for tests till now. I’ll ask, but here’s no guarantee.

    Bought it from Best Buy. It is well designed except few nuisances like the misleading and non-well responsible bilingual keyboard. It came with many pre-installed applications and was EXTREMELY slow. Changed the original 1 Tb Seagate to an SSD. The speed increased to acceptable. But I am a programmer. So when I started some intense calculations and network communications, BANG! It crushed showing only a black screen. After this, no signs of life unless I shut it down.The behavior is consistent and first and single experience of such kind in my practice. My software (causing the breakdown) runs on all sort of machines without any problems. SoI cant use this laptop for work and this was the reason I have bought it.
    I shall stay away from Asus laptops in the future.

      I've had a very similar experience to you. In my opinion, the laptop is trash if you intend to use it for any sort of programming and is an just an overall pain for everyday use

    BAD cooling system, my laptop is broken after exactly a year and no warranty from the supplier since I changed the HDD to a SSD and the RAM from 8 to 12GB.

    The current all plastic 2 in 1 as of Nov 2017 the TP510UA has a Gen 8 processor, 8 G of DDR4 with half shared with the integrated 620 Intel graphics adapter only one dime is filled with RAM so you have a single phase memory and half is lost to the graphics.

    With a slight bit of effort this could have been a winner, but as it is I am feeling ripped off. It's either add some RAM, as ASUS screems voiding the warranty as I deal with removing the motherboard or send it back to Amazon.
    I don't have any idea what the screen is but it works fine.
    I am tired of the BS
