This -particular configuration is adequate for multitasking, audio/video-editing, and streaming videos. It has enough oomph to play entry level games like Skyrim and Fallout 4. <p><strong>Don't buy if: You prefer a smaller screen or want back-lit keys. At 4.1 pounds and 0.8-inches thin, the Vivobook is fairly portable for a 16-inch laptop. Consider a smaller 14-inch laptop or the <a href="https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/lg-gram-16">LG Gram 16 (2.5 pounds, 0.7-inches thin) if you want something lighter.
