Great laptop much faster than my old one. I haven’t had it long so cannot yet vouch for the battery life. All in all it appears to be a decent machine.
Bought to be used as a basic laptop – email, BBC news, spreadsheets etc – and not for gaming or work related. Easy to pick up and start using – nice screen and perfect for my simple needs. Keyboard has a look and feel similar to my ‘old’ VAIO and is very comfortable. The version of Windows installed makes it awkward to install Chrome and it seems I need a letter from the Pope to do it. I haven’t run the battery flat yet but I can get 6 hours without any worries.
Bought to replace old HP and it’s very quick compared with the outdated HP. I don’t play games or watch TV on it, so can’t comment. It’s perfect for what I want.
Very good product ,fast smooth and quality ,fast delivery helps only small drawback there is no backlit on my machine, there was a lot of options ,maybe too many ,otherwise happy with purchase . Do not use for gaming hence no rating
Lightweight, relatively fast processor, silent operation and quick to load programs thanks to the solid star drive. Screen display bright and clear.
Downside? Speakers.
If you wish to have music or even a video conference with a quite loud setting this laptop doesn’t appear to offer that. If your hearing is 100% it’s not an issue, nor is it for general use – but if you want louder, no.
It handles video rendering reasonably well and does everything else I need it for .Also it not full of bloatware ether .However the battery life is not very good and falls short of its claims. I would recommend it as there really is not anything else at the price poi
I would have given it five stars, but it does have an irritating habit of starting up for no apparent reason when in hibernate or sleep mode… I can live with it… Best to shut down and start up instead as it is so fas
I also purchased extra RAM for it from Crucial via Amazon. A singe 8GB module CT8G4SFRA32A.
Before I could install windows 11, the laptop had to download and install every conceivable update for windows 10, which was installed.
After all that, process was easy. I haven’t been able to pin down what is different about the keyboard, yet, to my Dell Latitude, but something definitely is. Possible the size of the keys.
Accepted my “one Drive” download perfectly, and my “Google” Cloud download also. Does seem to be fast.
I have not rated battery life yet, as that seems a little unfair, and I do not game, so cannot comment. However, so far seems excellent value for money, at the price that I paid with the Prime discount.
Very nice laptop for the price.
Very slick and fast.
It’s not gaming laptop though, Graphic card is disappointingly 1GB. Doesn’t match the requirement for most games.
Aside that, it’s better than most laptops with similar price range.
The keyboard is not ‘proper’ UK layout, it’s a modified US layout as pictured which is a bit annoying.
Comes in Win 11 Home ‘S mode’ which locks some features. There was no mention of this, but you can deactivate quickly and for free.
The Asus sticker left residue which took a while to remove – unnecessary and annoying!
Overall a good option for those with basic computer needs.
BUILD QUALITY. Excellent. The product looks and feels well-built. One has the impression that with reasonable care, this laptop will last a long time.
PERFORMANCE. Surprisingly Good. Considering the spec, I was not expecting the laptop to be particularly fast, especially when multitasking. But I have been pleasantly surprised, for everyday computing tasks it is more than able to do the job. The storage medium is superfast – impressive.
MONITOR (SCREEN). Good enough. At first I was disappointed with the screen, the factory settings were bland and uninspiring. But once you have setup the screen the results are very acceptable and the matt finish is excellent as it does not detract from brightness but removes all reflections – very good.
BATTERY LIFE. Sufficient. Don’t expect to run the laptop all day on a single charge. It is not that type of machine. But the battery will last long enough for most purposes. Battery and weight work in opposite directions, a bigger battery means longer battery life but also means a heavier laptop. I think ASUS have got the balance between battery life and weight just about right.
WEIGHT. A 15″ laptop is never going to be a lightweight option. However I am impressed with the balance that ASUS have achieved between Size; Build Quality; Battery and Weight. Just about perfect.
KEYBOARD. Outstanding. I love the keyboard. I touch-type at around 60wpm, so the keyboard is an essential item for me. I have found that I make far fewer mistakes on this keyboard. The size of keys, the spacing and the key-travel are absolutely perfect. 10 out of 10 to ASUS. Possibly the best keyboard that I have ever used.
TRACKPAD. Very good. Well worth the time spent getting to know all the actions that this trackpad can perform.
USER GUIDE. Excellent. Well written. Covers everything.
RECOMMEND. Yes. I would buy again.
So I waited for Black Friday as I do my TV and Mobile requirements and this Asus laptop popped up very early on on Amazon before the sales started and I snapped it for 329. I bought a Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 3200MHz in the sale for 20 which simply slots in, apart from undoing some screws on back of laptop it was simples, just plug and play, re-screw and done, upgraded Ram to 16GB. I am not a nerd or a techy, I don’t even know if I have done any good, but I feckin hate newspaper websites that kill my laptops and this has done the trick.
The Asus is really fast, very very quick starting, I have 3 profiles for family and it’s bullet fast. The screen is not as good as my old TJ65 but you getz what you pay for and it’s fine for what it has to do. If you need a seriously good screen then you need to dig deep right. It is light to carry, the hinges are not looking to be the strongest so will be careful and not take the Michael. But what I really love about it is it is silent, so silent I worry something is not right, I have a 1900 HP work laptop 3 months old and is noisy compared to this Asus! The battery is fine, it lasts for hours and I have never yet had to run for a charger, it is absolutely reliable and suspect that’s because it does not have an energy thirsty fan panging away..
The only downside is a real cheap keyboard, my HP is back-lit and posh, this is button press, twang and noisy as you type, but actually, for an old fart like me, it actually helps as I don’t mistype as much!
So I am sorry for the wordy review, I don’t do many, but it’s a definite yes from me and I would buy another, if I got some amazingly well paid job that meant i needed another, but I guess I have 3 laptops now so by default have a great job, unfortunately not in the pay scale department!!
This comes with windows 11 home S so if you need to run application that not in the windows store then you can opt out of the windows S mode and it will revert to the usual windows home 11.
This can be done in the windows store to switch version or even upgrade to Pro if needed too.
The laptop itself isn’t half bad, for the price you pay its pretty good value its snappy while being responsive and should be able to run most applications and deal with their needs rather well.
Its not a gaming laptop nor a system that can be used to run heavy applications, so if you need a system for anything else this is perfectly suitable.
Wouldn’t be a bad laptop if your needing something for school, college etc.
The battery is probably the only thing that i felt within the price range could have been better it still last around 3 – 4 hrs however, this will also depends on the settings and application used so will vary from person to person.
Has most connectivity that one needs so one USB-C, three USB-A one of which is a USB 3.2 a HDMI and micro SD card slot which personally could have been a normal SD card slot.
Overall is a quick, snappy laptop that prefect for school or college needs. Will run all windows application perfectly fine.
Only criticism is the battery life which i felt if aimed at the student could have been a little better.
Build quality is as expected within the price range, its still a nice simple yet sleek design from ASUS.
It is quite bulky but no worry to me. This was to replace my 6 yr old Acer s13 with WIN10. Having tried to put my own configuration and programmes on this laptop I have found Microsoft are making it much harder to change what they want you to have in Win 11.. For instance trying to use Firefox browser that I like instead of MS Edge was not easy. You have to disable their S system. The same goes for other non MS programmes so putting obstacles in your way if you are trying to make individual choices.Also the new layout I am trying to come to terms with. So don’t expect it to be all plain sailing as they make you believe. Has a decent sized screen. The loss of backlit keys is a pain. The price seems decent generally though. Only really bought this due to increased storage from my Acer plus the screen section was coming away from the keyboard section so meant an expensive repair. On reflection just about justifying buying this laptop – so far !
My main gripe is that I didn’t check properly the port availability before I purchased this.
1) There’s no Ethernet port, so it can only connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (via a mobile or tablet hotspot).
2) Whilst I could connect a single additional monitor via the onboard HDMI port, I have a multi-screen setup, patched through a USB-C hub. However, the USB-C port on the laptop does not allow video output, or Ethernet traffic.
These two were showstoppers for me.
In conclusion, this’ll be perfect for just going about as an entry level laptop, but if you need additional connectivity, this may not be for you; it certainly wasn’t for me; I returned it same day that I received i
