Question 1

Is the keyboard backlit?

Accepted Answer

Yes and brightness can be adjusted via f7 key.  Unfortunately the key face are silver plastic with white back light so hard to see if overhead light bounces off them.  Very nice in dim to dark room.

Question 2

Is this windows 10 Pro?

Accepted Answer

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. The specifications lists the Asus VivoBook to be configured with Windows 10 Home 64-bit and not Windows 10 Pro.

Hope this helps,

Question 3

Is the SATA ribbon cable included in the laptop to install a 2.5" SATA drive? If not, can it be purchased from ASUS? or where?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Laptops typically do not use SATA cables to connect storage drives, laptops usually have a slot that have both the SATA data and power connections so you can slot the drive in (kind of like you would the memory).  Some laptops also use a caddie to achieve this, I would contact Asus to confirm what method they use.  Hope this helps!
