What customers say about "Processor"
ASUS VivoBook S15 (S530FA-EJ101T) Full HD NanoEdge Laptop
- Everything this does is super quick and battery life is great too.
- Good size screen. Running/processing speed is okay.
- Good product in ratio with quality - price, very light and practical for daily tasks. Great processor.
- Nice thin and light machine. Love the colour design with red trim on the side. 8gen I5 CPU+ 8G ram is perfect for power user.
- The Intel CPU seems to be sufficient enough, especially with the fast SSD that comes with it.
HP ENVY 13-ah0001na (4EW09EA) FHD Touch Screen Laptop
- Lightweight, compactible for heavy multitasking because of the processor, slick design, suitable for 3d apps and softwares and everything you hoped it could do and more.
- Performance-wise, with its i5-8250U processor, few will want more. It’s easily capable of light gaming, given the on-board GeForce MX150 graphics card.
- THe 1.6Ghz Intel I5 processor is fast and so much more powerful than what you would expect in a popular laptop.
- Always make some noise. CPU often 100%. but others are great.
- This laptop is only suitable for everyday work, if you want to play video games, you need to find a laptop with a better processor.

What customers say about "Features"
ASUS VivoBook S15 (S530FA-EJ101T) Full HD NanoEdge Laptop
- Very silent, this laptop makes very minimal noise, the fan is very quiet.
- Very quiet, which is an bonus. Very pleased with my purchase.
- The build quality is very good and it is very good quality and very speedy and very comfortable to type on.
- Feels quite 'plasticy' and flimsy. No light up keyboard.
- Battery life is only a few hours with normal usage.
HP ENVY 13-ah0001na (4EW09EA) FHD Touch Screen Laptop
- The screen is sharp and relatively bright, once the colour was adjusted slightly.
- When you open the lid, it raises the back of the laptop allowing hot air to escape underneath and behind.
- The charger is smaller than most. It's built like an Apple Macbook charger, except it doesn't use USB-C to charge.
- Excellant screen (gorilla glass) and graphics for watching you tube, iplayer, netflix.
- The only downsides are the battery life, lack of the RAM being DDR4 and the screen brightness not being up to the job outside .

What customers say about "Connectivity"
ASUS VivoBook S15 (S530FA-EJ101T) Full HD NanoEdge Laptop
- There are plenty of ports, HDMI and USB.
- The ports are nicely positioned and spaced apart.
- The sound stopped working entirely after connecting and disconnecting hardwired speaker.
- Downside is that the USB C is not display out compatible.
- What I don't like in this laptop is USB Type C. It does not support connection to a display.
HP ENVY 13-ah0001na (4EW09EA) FHD Touch Screen Laptop
- Connectivity consists of a USB-C socket and two USB-A sockets. In addition there is a 3.5mm stereo jack socket for headphone connection.
- All ports works well and location is good.
- Decent quality, nice disign, a lot of ports and stable connection!
- The only questionable design decision is the flap which covers half of one of the USB slots and has to be flicked out the way to use - I have no idea why!!!
- WiFi has recently become flaky, connecting/disconnecting over and over once or twice a minute.
