Bought this laptop after doing many hours of research.... So far I love it! Pros: Super fast boot time. Very little bloatware. Upgradeable Ram. Additional hard drive slot (I got the 250gb ssd version and will probably add a 1tb hdd) While running multiple Google Chrome tabs, watching a video on YouTube, and running a full anti-virus scan the laptop was still silent (fans werent even noticeable). Laptop stays cool on your lap. Keyboard is quiet. Laptop is super thin and light weight which makes if very portable. Cons: Display isnt that great (this is something I didnt really care about). For $620 you probably wont be able to find any laptop with these specs and a great display. Theres always going to be a tradeoff. I chose to downgrade on the display and processor (i got the 8th gen i5 version which is more than enough power for me). Webcam kind of sucks - This is something I really dont care about since Ill probably never use it. Keyboard flex - Almost all ASUS laptops have a little keyboard flex and it was the main thing that scared me about buying this laptop. After using the laptop for a few days, I can officially say that Im not even bothered by it. Its very comfortable to type with! No numeric keypad - Again something I didnt really care about. Not sure about battery life yet but Im thinking you can get 6-8 hours out of this thing if you fool around with some settings. This wasnt a big deal to me since Im always a few feet away from an outlet if I need a charge. Overall, Im really happy with this purchase! Theres so many laptops out there and almost all of them have mixed reviews (which makes it incredibly difficult to pick one). Ill give a 1 month, 6 month, and 1 year update (if I can remember to do so)

UPDATE 4.3.2019: The other bummer is battery life. Its supposed to get 8 hours. Id be happy with 5 or 6. I get about 1.5 hours when doing basic work like emails and working on my blog :( UPDATE 9.12.2018: So far theyve just responded to "feel free" to contact their support. After already wasting 6+ hours on my defective brand new computer, I am in no mood to spend more of my time. They have my address. They know I have issue. They can make it right if they want to provide customer service. Purchased 6.29.2018. First I was happy. Lightweight and fast. On 9.11.2018 (72 days later) the HDMI port died. Had diagnostics done today to confirm. Yep! The HDMI port is shot. Sent message to seller asking to switch out my computer for a new one. If they take care of me, Ill adjust review. Will keep yall posted. Did NOT expect this with brand new computer :(

I have been searching for two weeks for a laptop that main purpose to do presentation stuff, watching film and surfing on internet and it is perfect for students who dont want to play games on laptop. And on my opinion there is nothing like this laptop that has a good price/performance ratio. I bought the i5 8250 with 256 ssd version for my sister. It came in box that has lots of "free" space and they even didnt put a "airbag" to absorb impact but it came in good condition. Here are the pros and cons that i have been seen: Pros + Its realy fast because of the ssd + so quite when you are using it for little things like surfing. If you are using it for something bigger than the fan is making little sound but when it cooled to some level it stops immediately. Of course lack of hard drive is bigger portion of this quietness. + its great screen i love it. Especially the thin bezels make the screen look much bigger. It is doing that while let you believe it is smaller than a 156 laptop from looking outside. Asus used some magic here. + writing with keyboard feels good if you dont push too much. (Its bending inward) Cons -Why someone put on/off button near the delete button? I had to disable the shut down from button -WINDOWS 10 TAKES ABOUT 49GB SPACE. WHEN I OPENED FIRST TIME IT HAD 207GB FREE SPACE IN THE SSD -The keyboard back light could be more properly adjusted. You can see the backlight led between keys. -WHEN IT CAME IT HAS LITTLE BEVEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD IT DIDNT DISTURB MY SISTER BUT IT DID ME. THATS WHY I CUT ONE STAR. -KEYBOARD BEND INSIDE WHEN YOU PUSHED LITTLE BIT. As I saw every new model Asus laptops have same problem. -The touchpad doesnt feel good. # ill edit if i found something good or bad.

This laptop is incredible! I originally thought that since the video card isnt that great (The can you run it website told me I wouldnt be able to run most games even on the minimum settings) that Id have issues with gaming. But so far Ive been able to play everything Ive tried. Even Final Fantasy 14, and I generally keep unity up at all times and even then no lag. Its crazy fast. Will definitely be sticking with Asus.

Very good student/work laptop that features full 15.6 inch screen yet light. Powerful enough for mid-tier hefty productivity such as video editing and heavy compiling, and light gaming, but not for heavy gaming at all. I bought this laptop for work and it does everything I need well without any problems. You are also able to put in 8 more gb of RAM if you would like since theres a slot for it. Pros: - Very thin laptop that is easy to carry - Very good performance to price ratio - High quality build quality and material - Sleek design for professional looks - Silver-gold color that does not attract too much attention - Good screen and brightness - Good heat management Cons: - Does not come with any complimentary case - No Windows Hello capability - I use a wireless usb mouse, but the touchpad can be a little bit twitchy at times - Screen reflection indoors - No CAPSLOCK indication - Relatively short charging cords - Mediocre battery, but I do have a dedicated graphics card and 2 storage units.

Solid design, super-thin and light. Keyboard feels good. Like the fingerprint login security. Also great connectivity especially for the size. A couple things--1) Win10 comes installed on the 1Tb drive (at least mine did). Had to quickly dupe to SSD and reformat HDD for data only. After doing so, performance skyrocketed, 2) need to load the ATK driver from ASUS to get backlit keyboard to work. Both of the above I consider minor and would pick this platform over the last two (Dell & HP) laptops I have used in my business.

This system is amazing, the speed is unmatched in both the processer capabilities and the download speed. The Nano edge display is the best quality laptop screen Ive experienced so far. Really an outstanding computer. The only reason it is not a five star is the Battery and charging system. Unlike my other laptops I cannot take the battery out myself, and the cable for charging is not a usb interchangeable one. the wall plugin is big, gets very hot when its both charging the battery and in use at the same time, and as well the battery use alone will not even last six hours of normal use much less 8 as stated, and I have no apps at all on this system and even deleted the ones that came with it so I have no excess internal use. In anycase I am happy with the purchase and will even look to buy another if possible

So far its great. With light use, I can make it through a whole day without bringing my charger. Pros: For its price, it performs really well. I can get well over 5-6 hours of use out of it if Im not doing anything too demanding. If Im doing heavy gaming, itll still last about an hour on battery. Nice and lightweight. It also looks quite pretty. Keyboard and trackpad feel great. It doesnt hurt my fingers by overusing the trackpad, and the keyboard is nice to type on. Lid lifts mostly with 1 finger. Cons: Poor thermal performance. Under any significant CPU load, it shoots up to the high 70s or higher. It thermal throttles if you use high CPU and GPU at the same time. It gets reeeeally hot. Its hard to get into. There are screws under the rubber feet, so you have to take them out to get under the lid. The adhesive will come off if you take the feet out too many times. Its a tad bendy. Not too flimsy, but its not the sturdiest laptop in the world.

I bought this laptop to use for editing video, performing normal office tasks (email and writing code) and video encoding (handbrake) - it does the latter fairly well but the former not so much. I cant knock a star off for that because the lower power i7 doesnt seem to be the right CPU to use for video editing, my expectations were just too high. What I am taking a star off for is really two things: poor quality and volume of the audio system and the lackluster battery life. Ive used the laptop for a couple hours this morning, mostly watching YT videos, and its down to 44%, which is a far cry from the supposed "Full workday freedom" that is claimed right here on a sticker on the laptop. If you read the reviews though, youll see this is a common thread and a noted weakness of the model, so it was fighting an uphill battle from the start. The speakers are pretty terrible, both in terms of volume and quality - and Im not expecting MacBook Pro type of sound either. But even with the machine volume at 100% AND YT volume at 100% I could not hear the laptop above my kids playing quietly with their toys. I know that sounds unrealistic but its quite true. If youre going to hook these up to some external speakers then its a non-issue. Ill be returning mine, but if your needs are lighter than mine then youll be fine. We use Dell machines with the same internals at work all day long and they are great for working spreadsheets, writing code and heavy office usage. Just keep it to those things and youll be happy. As long as you use external speakers, or headphones and keep this plugged in or use it sparingly with the battery youll probably be fine.

Good for day to day use and a bit of gaming. Only con is it needs to handled with care and the display wobbles a bit whenever u open the laptop
