About this product

- The required output of a suitable charging device is 65W minimum and 100W maximum.
If you want a laptop that handles work, study and downtime without slowing you down, the ASUS Vivobook 16 is worth considering. It's powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processor with 16GB RAM, letting you juggle multiple tabs, stream and work through spreadsheets without lag. The 512GB SSD offers quick boot times and enough space for files, though an external drive may be needed for many photos or videos. The 16-inch Full HD display with a 16 by 10 aspect ratio provides more vertical space for documents and browsing, and the anti-glare screen keeps things clear in bright rooms.
At 1.88kg, it's light to carry, and the battery lasts up to 8 hours, enough for a workday. It runs Windows 11 Home and has a 180-degree lay-flat hinge for easy screen sharing. Features include a physical webcam shield, built-in HD webcam and microphone, and function keys to mute the mic. Ports include 1 USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.2, 1 USB-C (also for charging), HDMI, and a headphone jack. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, and the larger touchpad improves navigation. The cooling system uses dual vents and an IceBlade fan. Includes laptop, power supply, and user manual.

Very nice
Slim silver beautiful looking, yes i know that's not a technical term lol. I bought this for 1 reason so I could stress my games and back up my phone and my mum's phone. Ive currently done 1 of the 3 and so far ive not had any issues. The screen is perfect size for me to view text considering I have issues readying from both long and short.

A good start for an elderly customer
Early days and I have done very little on my new computer as I have another one. I am impressed by the speed with which Windows updates are downloaded and installed. At my age, 79, my requirements for a computer are minimal. I just want it to be reliable and easy to use.
Gobions, Lancaster Lancashire
Great price and great machine!
Stylish design. Nice big screen, also sharp with vibrant colours. Keyboard and touch pad worked perfectly. And performance had been fast and trouble free. Really enjoying working on this new laptop.

The ASUS Vivobook M160 16in R5 16GB 512GB Laptop does not have a dedicated graphics card. Instead, it is equipped with AMD Radeon graphics, which are integrated and do not provide the same level of performance as a dedicated graphics card. Therefore, it may not be ideal for tasks requiring high-end graphics capabilities, such as ethical hacking or pentesting.
Thank you for using Q&A.

HI Lisa,

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.
