Install Flash Player What a waste of money . Screen started flickering after 2 weeks. What makes it even worst my daughter bought it and took it to England where she lives. Now they are saying to me we have to pay shipping cost back to the U.S. *UPDATE* They will now refund shipping costs from UK to US, but wont pay return costs back to UK despite the International shipping being available on the item... She paid for an item, its defective, cant use it and loses money each day it cannot be used. Now expected to pay shipping cost to have a replacement item, without any guarantee that the same issue wont occur...

Kept locking up. Perpetual blue screen of death. Customer service only solution was to restore again n again and then an Automatic repair. They were polite but pretty much useless and they never returned my calls. I probably called them a dozen times with my issue. Through my own research I found that Office 2007 wasn’t always compatible with Win 10. I upgraded to Office 2019 and this kept it from locking up. No thanks to Asus useless tech support. This Asus junk takes forever just to open File Explorer just to view the contents of folder. Then you’re sitting there looking as the icon spins round and round just to view contents. Even slower opening a program. Go make a sandwich as you wait. Connection to the internet times out every few minutes and takes a couple minutes to manually reconnect. All my other devices work fine on WiFi except the Asus junk. That’s why I’m writing this review on my phone. It’s easier and more reliable then using the laptop. See my attached pics of what I’m describing. The only reason I still have this piece of junk is because of my work schedule I had it for 30 days and couldn’t return it Amazon. My fault there.

As several other review-writers have noted, this laptop computer has a problem with the display flickering. As with others, I noticed the problem when watching Netflix videos that stream at 1080p (you have to watch in Edge or using the Netflix app; in Chrome and Firefox, Netflix streams at only 720p). I believe that the cause of this is that the computer generates electrical interference of some sort at 60hz, which is what the display is set at by default. But because it also comes with a video setting enabled called "Panel Self-Refresh" which causes the video card NOT to send a refresh every 1/60 of a second in order to conserve battery power, by default the display isnt actually running at 60hz despite it being set at that refresh rate. Watching a 1080p movie on Netflix kicks the display into a frequency that causes the flickering to become apparent. To make the problem go away, turn off all battery-saving settings that have to do with video, especially "Panel Self-Refresh," and then set the display refresh rate to 48hz, and there will be no more flickering. You can also make the flickering go away by connecting it to an external monitor with an HDMI cable. That acts as a ground for the video system and makes the flickering go away. I give this laptop 1-star for what is either a design flaw or a common manufacturing defect. I recommend that you dont buy this.

As Indicated by another poster, the sensitive area of the touch pad overlaps the designated buttons for clicking. I have returned my brand new laptop for this very reason. I must agree that this is one of the most unbelievably annoying design choices I have ever had the misfortune of running across. Please fix this as it makes using the device hell, the complete opposite of what you want as user. The touch pad is the primary interface with the device, it makes sense to focus on this part of the design as most of the users contact with and utilization of the device occurs via the touch pad. In addition, the screen on this device is terrible. The tone is muted and dull. The colors are cartoonish at best, this laptop seriously reminds me of a budget basement piece of hardware. Behind the shiny aluminum cover lies a decent processor, in a light package. All of the rest regarding the beautiful colors and crisp visuals is garbage. Do not waste your time. I am personally disappointed that Amazon would designate this as an Amazon Choice product. When searching for deals, and excellent buys, it would be nice if this selection were curated to ensure that customers arent being pushed substandard products.
