ASUS ZenBook 13 Ultra-Slim Laptop, 13.3” Full HD, 8th gen Intel i5-8250U Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB M.2 SSD, Backlit kbd, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10, Grey, UX330UA-AH55

I received my asus zenbook ux330ua today and was so excited to begin working on it. However, I immediately noticed how dark the screen is and even when I adjust the screen brightness to the highest setting, it is still very dark. I was very disappointed about this. I have attached a picture to show a comparison between the screen brightness of a hp laptop and the asus I just received.

Overall, this is a fine machine with good battery life. Its quick, its light, it would be great if it didnt have a TERRIBLE trackpad. For the price, there is no excuse to have a trackpad this inconsistently responsive. I use my laptop all day every day for my job and I cant tell you how infuriating it is to have the trackpad just suddenly stop working. Sometimes I will not be able to scroll, sometimes I just sit for 2 minutes til it finds the pointer again. I lose time every single day because of this. I tried the solutions I found online but nothing helps and unfortunately, I live in a country where an external mouse will be quite expensive to buy, if I can even find one. This laptop would have had 5 stars no problem if it werent for this inconsistent, crappy trackpad. Id return it if I could. UPDATE: I keep finding more reasons to dislike this relatively expansive computer. The screen glitches often which can be quite a headache when working for long period of time. Often, programs wont work (e.g., Skype has a problem with the microphone, netflix reads as having too many windows open, steam wont launch at all) unless I restart entirely, which takes time and often messes with my work flow (I have a certain number of docs open that Im working on simultaneously and have to save and close all of them to make a business call in which I then have to re-open all of them). The number of issues I continue to have with this computer is unacceptable given the price. I dont know, maybe I got a lemon, but I am very dissatisfied.
