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.
Sept update. I have now been using this laptop, on the road, for over a week. I am now used to the keyboard, and it is fine. The speed and colour clarity is amazing. Good battery life, at laest compared to my old Dell, and the charging time is fast !! Overall an excellent buy.
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.
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.
