Very good laptop. Bought it as my main laptop. Excellent for the price.
i really liked it, great laptop – in perfect conditio
Enjoying using it at present. Very fast compared to old laptop. Great screen. Battery sort of OK.
I’m a domestic user but found my old Win 10 machine was getting slow despite clean ups and other methods to make it faster. This new Win 11 machine is lightning quick with SSID and an i7 processor. The hard drive is a bit small but that can be got around.
Great laptop for the price. Versatile and powerful for the average user. I can even play computer games nicely which my previous laptop couldn’t handle (even with 8 gb of RAM!)
Can’t fault it, another great ASUS laptop- budget priced (paid 439) but great build quality and performance. Highly recommended. I’ve updated my review (April 2023) as this now ships with Windows in S mode – no big deal but you’ll need to take it out of S kids to install non windows store apps
Great laptop once you switch to Win 11 home (easy and free) , s mode is awful ! mind you Win 11 is awful comared to Win 10 , i3 model fast wnough and good storage .HP value beater !
I love that it is so light and silent, my last laptop was so noisy in comparison.
Once charged the battery lasts me days I use it very day for around 1-2 hours.
Pos:
– Good configuration,
– Smooth performance for home working and studying
– Good battery life
– Excellent build quality
Cons:
– Weight – on heavier side of scale, not comfortable if need to be carried around frequently.
When I read the Amazon review I’m sure it said this computer had a backlit keyboard.this was a key purchasing feature for me,however I was disapointed to find the keyboard is’nt backlit,perhaps I’m missing something,however the description is misleading if this is the case.Other than that this computer is very good it’s fast & the screen quality is superiour.
As a simple web browsing laptop to replace an aging device of similar spec for it’s time, I would say it’s excellent value and does the job web. I picked this one up when it was 380 quid for a relative – for what they use it for they are very happy indeed. Don’t expect to do anything usefully productive or gaming on this – it is what it is.
I like the laptop, I’ve already upgraded the RAM by adding a 16GB module which improves it a LOT. especially with games and my Adobe applications.
Big minus is there is no backlight on the keyboard even though the manual references it.
Other than that, a great laptop.
On receipt added my personal apps and updated Windows, which required a restart. This froze the computer which freaked me out. Eventually found out how to do a factory reset, so all the apps needed to go back on. Now working well but could have done without the hassle.
So here are the pros and cons. Pros: brilliant screen, backlight keyboard, really fast processor, additional thunderbolt ports, fast SSD and RAM.
Cons: RAM appears to be un-upgradable (could be wrong) and SSD is only 500GB. This is not a big issue as I will probably get an external drive someday. Battery life isn’t the worst but does drain quickly when you are actually doing something with the laptop. Fan can be quite noisy, although it isn’t on all the time. I wish there was more USB ports although I do have a separate powered hub.
Overall, it is a very quick and so far stable laptop that plays nicely with my audio interface and such. I feel like it is a little bit fragile though! Still, would definitely recommend.
The display is superb for work purposes but I wouldn`t class it as “ground breaking” when watching a streaming service. Its “not great – not terrible” to coin a phrase. The sound isn`t bad for a laptop but I do smile at the embossed “SonicMaster” logo on the front 🙂
I have no issues with the keyboard. Its responsive and feels just about right when typing away.
As for the body. Cheap, thin plastic. I wasn`t expecting much at this price but it really lets the whole thing down and makes me wince every time I close the laptop and put it in the bag as I`m worried I will damage it.
Battery life isn`t great. I`m getting about 4 hours.
If you are considering this laptop be aware that it does not have an ethernet port so its wi-fi or nothing 🙂
Its an okay entry-level laptop for basic office work, low level casual gaming and the odd movie or two. Just be gentle with it!
personally disappointed as the backlit functionality was one of the main reasons for the purchase!
However this was bought as a present & the recipient is still thrilled with the gift so item won’t be returned as it ticks all the other requirements.
Additionally, other reviews mention reduced battery & loud fans these can be fine tuned to personal preference in the myAsus app, (easily missed) depending on model* there is a whisper mode to substantially reduce fan noise. Initial boot & updates do activate the fans to an audible level but again this can be adjusted in the app.
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
They have been very happy with the performance so far and that it was a decent price at 479
There aren’t many other laptops with 16GB Ram 512SSD and i5 processor kicking about for that price.
We got the 16gb ram for longevity with windows support. The processor may prove an issue but we will have to wait and see
The screen is decent enough quality for people that don’t know it can be better or with eyesight on which Retina displays are wasted on.
It is lightweight which is good for something that is supposed to be portable.
A good solid buy
The quality of the case, keyboard and OLED screen together with thunderbolt outputs are excellent.
However, battery life is poor. You won’t get anything more than 4 hours from it. It also looks and feels on the cheap side. No keyboard backlight either. Screen is ok but more premium
laptops have a more superior display.
If you are after a fast processing budget laptop that you won’t be using too much on the go then this is the one for you. But if you use it a lot on the go, require something with a more premium feel and visuals are important then perhaps consider a more premium built with lower 8gb ram machine.
