Great laptop for the money!
Fantastic laptop - really happy with it. Fast, good battery time (with basic word doc use), great screen and the sound is ok. Very handy having a number pad in the keyboard too. Laptop arrived in really good time - actually sooner than the date they’d suggested so couldn’t have been more happy! Very much recommend the product and the service 👍

Hello there,
ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop Silver
I can advise that this laptop has a standard UK QWERTY keyboard. I hope this information helps. Thanks for using Q&A.
Regards.
HI Lisa,
ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop - Silver
Yes, the ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB laptop will run The Sims 4 and all its expansion packs very well. The game should run on medium-high to high graphics settings without any issues.
Why it works well:
Processor: The laptop likely uses an AMD Ryzen 5 processor (such as the 7530U or similar), which meets or exceeds the game's recommended Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 requirements.
Memory (RAM): With 16GB of RAM, the laptop significantly exceeds the recommended 8GB, allowing for smooth multitasking and handling of all expansion packs and a large amount of custom content (mods/CC) without lag.
Storage: The 512GB SSD provides ample space for the base game, all DLCs, and custom content, while also ensuring fast loading times.
Graphics: The integrated AMD Radeon graphics are capable of handling The Sims 4 at good settings, though performance with high-resolution custom content may require some adjustments to graphic settings.
Overall, this laptop is a good choice for a seamless Sims 4 experience, even with a large number of expansions and mods. For the official system requirements, you can check the EA Help website.
Thank you for using Q and A

Hello,
The keyboard on the ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop - Silver is black.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Black
The f7 key is blank without any light icon. Usually the asus vivobook 16 models have backlit keyboard, and when they do, the f7 key has a light icon on it. However, this specific variant does not have a backlit keyboard and the usual keys fn and f7 or f4 do not do anything. Which is quite disappointing because it was one of the reasons I purchased it at Argos as the description states it has it
As said by kt_sta, the F7 key does not switch on the backlight feature. And there is no markings on the key to indicate any secondary function.
False advertising ?
Hello Michael,
ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop - Silver
I have checked the manual and the backlight for the keyboard is on F7.
Thanks for using Q&A
Just bought this laptop and am unable to find any way of turning on the backlit keyboard. I can only assume the product details are incorrect, which is very disappointing, as otherwise it is a really good laptop.
Hey Mikey,
I can advise that this laptop has a backlit keyboard.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Aha! I see that the Page Dn and Page Up button has the backlit feature! Not F7..
Hello Vex,
Yes the ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop - Silver has a backlit keyboard function.

Hello Tony,

Hello Shaz,
The ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop backlit keyboard function key should be F7.
To enable push the FN (function) and F7 keys at the same time.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hi, Heinrich
