Question 1

My keyboard does not light up, is it faulty?

Accepted Answer

The brightness is adjustable including an off setting. Try pressing fn-f4 to increase the  brightness of the keyboard.

Question 2

can you clarify the exact details? Model says ASUS VivoBook S, specification section shows ASUS S510UA-DS51 and overview section shows ASUS VivoBook Pro 15

Accepted Answer

I cannot clarify exact details because this product does not release until Feb. 2nd! I wrote a review about why I chose to buy early! Sorry for any confusion! If this is not the answer to what you are asking, please feel free to ask another question!

Question 3

Does this laptop have a webcam and is the battery replaceable/removable?

Accepted Answer

Yes it has a webcam! The battery is not removable. But I have been thoroughly impressed by the vivo! It’s been great to be able to do all my work and research on. College student would love this!

Question 4

Is the display IPS or TN?

Accepted Answer

IPS (possibly MVA).good vertical viewing angles.
certainly not a TN (very poor vertical angles).

Question 5

Does this machine support usb-c charging?

Accepted Answer

No, this computer does not support charging itself through the USB-C port.

Question 6

What type of SSD does this laptop has? SATA or PCIE (NVMe)?

Accepted Answer

neither, it is an M.2 (Toshiba - not the fastest).
there is an empty SATA slot for a SATA drive.
look also at the reviews of the similar F510UA (i'd say the same, minus the back-lit keyboard).

Question 7

Is the RAM expandable beyond the 8GB that comes installed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB maximum.

Question 8

The details for this item are very different between the Overview and the Specification tabs.  The amount of RAM (8GB or 16GB) Screen resolution (1920x1080 or (3840x2160) , graphics processor (Intel or Nvidia) are different.  Which configuration is correct??

Accepted Answer

the overview is incorrect. it is for some other model. search the model number on google you will find a site that has all the accurate information.

Question 9

Is this a touchscreen? If not, what's the closest Asus model with a touchscreen?

Accepted Answer

No it is not a touchscreen.

Question 10

How can I change the volume and backlighting on the top keys w/o holding onto the Fn key.  It gets a little annoying to consistently need two handed operation if I dont really care for the F1-f12 functions?

Accepted Answer

The computer does not support setting the functions as the default option.
