I got sick of being stuck in one room 8 hours a day on my desktop so I bought the laptop to move around more. I use it to run 3 Microsoft Office apps and some light web surfing. Honestly, I think it should be a little cheaper for what it is. The screen has a heavy blueish cast and is not a good example of Asus’s typically high quality. I use the software included with Windows 10 to adjust the warmth, and wear “anti glare computer glasses.” The keyboard is an abomination. I am an expert touch typer (120wpm, typing since I was a small child in 1989) and I still fumble over the keys. I have no idea what they were thinking with the grey lettering on a silver keyboard. If you are struggling, go and get a “keyboard skin” for a 15.6” ASUS laptop from a retailer. It has helped me a ton. I’ve attached an image. Overall, the machine runs pretty quickly and doesn’t get hung up. The SSD is a huge help if you need to get everything up and running ASAP (like taking client calls, recalling data quickly). I haven’t had issues with the fan like a couple of other people.

love this computer so far very easy to use. Very light weight but sturdy. Doesn't feel cheap. The only reason i don't give it 5 stars is because of the screen isnt the best. I have Apple everything except laptop and wanted a good strong laptop for a good price so went to this and love everything about it. Speed, ease of use, etc. The screen isnt the best. Apple spoiled me. Sorry

I haven't experienced any running issues or lagging. It boots up nicely without delay and the speed is sufficient. It took a little getting used to the layout though that is to be expected with any upgrade. As far as functionality, I haven't a single complaint. But when it comes to the cosmetic components, I have a few. First would be the keys. They appear to be cheaply made. I have had 2 get stuck and the control key keeps coming off. Second is the flat back design. Even with its listed feature of the "ErgoLift Hinge" There isn't any elevation from the bottom end to the top end making it a bit more difficult to type. I have to prop something under the top end to give it an offset. Finally, the rubber tabs on the bottom that are designed to keep it from sliding aren't very grippy. There is no grab to speak of and the laptop slides on surfaces freely.

I was excited to find a laptop with good specs at this price and also in stock. Nice UI out of the box and very easy set-up. Unfortunately, it has a fatal flaw that makes it unusable for me. The keys on the keyboard are the same color as the case (silver) and the lettering on the keys is very similar. I found that when viewing the keyboard from an angle, the characters virtually disappear! It looks like one of those old training keyboards where all the keys are blank. It's actually even more dramatic than I was able to capture in the pic. If you're not a 100% touch typist and occasionally need to look at the keyboard, this is going to be a problem.

The laptop is great, but the only flaw it has the black screen. Just 2 weeks of purchase it stopped working and to top it off its my school laptop and I have finals and now I'm stuck with laptop to turn in finals. I hope Best Buy can just exchange it, I don't want a repair after 2 weeks of owning it. Also I had this issue with HP laptops twice and that's one of the reasons why I made the switch. Sorry Asus but you guys need to look into this. Hopefully I have better luck next time.
