Not a laptop I would recommend
First of all, I wanted to say I was excited to write this review when I received the laptop, but things changed. This was one of the black friday sale laptops that I managed to snag under $400. Good deal based on the specs. But I can see why it was this price. Build Quality: I mean, for under $400, you get what you pay for. The plastic creeks and pops. The frame is very flexible. Pros: Great display, can't fault Asus on this one. Very crisp colors and the resolution is great. Has a large trackpad, full size keyboard. Cons: The machine is not as fast as you might thing with a core i5 in it. The 512GB drive that it comes with is actually an NVMe, but a terribly slow one. The trackpad is very loose when you are tapping on it. It sounds like you are double tapping on the trackpad but you are really just lightly tapping on it. NOT UPGRADABLE!!!! What I mean by not upgradable. When you open and expose the internals, you will find there is a RAM stick installed, but its 8GB. For the life of me, I couldn't find the other 8GB stick since the machine has 16GB of RAM. The motherboard is also a bit of a hodge podge. Nothing really seems to be put in the right place. The NVMe drive was mounted at an angle, the 1 stick of RAM was on the far left and the battery is tiny compared to the space Asus gave it. One big thing with this machine. No matter what drive I used, for some reason, if you want to do a clean install of the OS, it cannot be found. I tried 3 different working drives, Mixture of SSD's, 3rd Gen NVMe and 4th gen NVMe. none of the drives would be detected. Even the original drive, if you tried to do a clean install, the drive is not visible. Asus must have the system so locked down that you cannot do any clean windows install. Only their "Cloud" download, which installed bloatware on the machine.

It was great at first until it wasn’t
Great Laptop overall, battery life good at first But I purchased it in September 2024 and now it’s kinda giving me problems. The battery doesn’t last long as it use to the first few months and it’s not charging anymore more it’s say it’s plugged in but it charges up to 7% than it stops charging; and it dies.
