Product Manuals
A: Great price for an Intel i7 with 12gb RAM and 256 SSD HD . To good for me to pass up (got mine on sale for $550)! It is a sweet deal but the only problem is the Keyboard. My laptop is the Transparent Silver color and it is very hard for me to see the letters, number, symbols on the keyboard keys. Unless the lighting and your viewing angle is perfect the keys look like a glare of silver. If you are an expert typist and don't need to read the writing on the keys it is an awesome deal.
A: This model would not be recommended to perform the above software.
Q: Does this particular model laptop have a backlit keyboard?
A: This model does not have a backlit keyboard.
A: The Asus answer to this question is incorrect. I just bought this laptop, and it DOES NOT allow video out for external monitors through the USB-C. It does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode.
Q: Is it touchscreen? Can you please be more specific on the expected battery life?
A: This model is not a touch screen. With normal use, you can expect 6-8 hours of battery life.
Q: Is this in my Best Buy store near me (Tulsa)
A: When I bought this, it wasn't carried in any store close to me. It's a really great buy, though. We're very pleased with it.
Q: Does the processor bump up to any speed or does it just stay at it's base 1.8 GHz?
A: In light workloads, this processor has a max boost of 4.6GHz. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/149091/intel-core-i7-8565u-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-60-ghz.html
Q: Is this computer recommended for IntelliJ Idea?
A: Yes, this would be a perfect machine.
