    Very satisfied with the product(s) in this order.

    ASUS Vivobook 16X S1603QA-MB168W

    Very well made and well equipped Asus laptop.
    I'll be using it mainly for office work, e-mail and Internet browsing,
    Managing and listening to MP3's, digital photo management in support of my other Asus TUF Gamer.

    Lightweight, easy to move around, also transportable by plane, train or car.
    Fast for my use, nice look, quality equipment too.

    I added a small JBL GO 3 Bluetooth speaker to get a much better sound than the original one.
    than the original one, which generally comes with laptops with rather mediocre sound,
    as well as a 5 Terabyte external hard drive to be comfortable with the storage space.

    In a nutshell...... Super! for this set at the right price.

    On the other hand, and for the first time, I found that the packaging supplied by LDLC
    was a little 'light', not too thick and not too well protected internally for transport where packages generally suffer...

    So 1 star less.....
    To be reviewed for improvement.

    Thank you Asus & LDLC.

    Powerful and user-friendly PC

    I bought this PC for mainly office use and some photo work. It meets my needs perfectly. The screen, keyboard and touchpad are very nice. No annoying fan activation unlike my previous PC. Super fast start up. In short, I highly recommend it!

    Excellent computer for office use

    For office use, I was looking for a powerful laptop to be stationary, connected to a large external monitor, and for some travel. I'm a fan of 16/10 screens which are more suitable for office use and I don't need a competition graphics card or a big storage drive. In general, to have a lot of RAM and a powerful processor, you have to get a gamer PC with a mega graphics card and that costs a lot of money.

    This PC is the only one that I know of that combines the following advantages:
    - 16/10 format
    - 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD
    - no hot graphics card
    - excellent AMD processor
    - reasonable price.

    It's really fast, both when booting up thanks to the SSD and when opening software like Libre Office. The keys have several levels of backlighting, which is also rare for this price.
    In use, it is quiet. The fan comes on if you use it hard, but it's not annoying.
    On the level of the reproaches:
    - no ethernet connection, you have to buy a USB C adapter
    - the page up, page down, etc keys are only accessible with the Fn key

    I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm very happy with my purchase and thank you to LDLC because I can't find it anywhere else.

    Super Machine

    About the PC. Great PC. The screen is big, so the laptop is not super light, but in everyday use, no problem. Very surprised by the excellent performance of the PROC Ryzen 5. It works very well: MAO, Office 365, PHOTOSHOP...Allows to work very well. This is my first AMD proc but certainly not my last.
    The laptop is very well finished, it's beautiful. The screen is good, the default colours are not bad. The battery life is standard in this price range = good for me.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it from LDLC, but it's not.
    It's hard not to recommend both of them.

    Dubious

    I received my order, but the packaging is a little light.
    The product is not bad; good performance, a great lightness and a very good battery life, moreover the touchpad is very intuitive.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it for the price, but it's a good idea to buy it for the price. I'm not sure how it will hold up over time.
    I think it's a good all-round computer to stay in the office or at home, but it's a shame to have to carry it around all day, considering its autonomy and its price.
