It Gets The Job Done And A Little More!
So I've had this laptop for about 3 weeks, maybe more, and I've been having a good time with it. The screen is fantastic, it's fast, has great battery life and, productivity wise, it gets the job done. I do have some minor isssues like the refresh rate not being consistent or the random restarts that it does, but those are things I don't mind that much since I'm sure the restart is due to heavy load. Overall, it's a solid laptop with very minor discrepancies. 8/10, would recommend for productivity and media.

Beautiful laptop until it overheats
I've had this laptop for 5 days so far. I set it up, deleted any bloatware, stopped unnecessary programs from automatically running at Windows startup, updated all windows/hardware/software drivers, installed hardware monitoring software for temperature mainly (HWiNFO, HWMONITOR, etc) having read this laptop has issues. This laptop has frozen/crashed several times already, all while streaming YouTube! I even set the fans at constant full speed in the MyAsus app for maximum cooling potential and that did not prevent it from overheating. I didn't even get to test and push the hardware to any limits with benchmark programs yet and what does it matter at this point (plenty of tech YouTubers already have that data). I made sure to have the ventilation on the bottom rear of the laptop fully exposed, not just on a flat table which only provides maybe a few millimeters of clearance but i actually set it up to leave a huge gap where the holes are for maximum airflow but nothing helped (see photo). This laptop is thin and light with great potential but the overheating issues are unacceptable and inexcusable. This will be going back. What a shame. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard and trackpad are nice and the speakers sound good but who cares if you have to deal with a brand new laptop crashing in 2024.

Battery life and build quality never better!
This has everything I'm looking for, watching YouTube takes about 10% an hour. Light use it lasts up to 13ish hours. The touch screen is amazing, keyboard feels great, and even the graphics can hold its own. My only gripe with it is the price, it is quite spendy for a laptop, but for a notebook/MacBook style, it's wonderful! Side note... The stickers added on are angled wrong, and an HDMI sticker??? In 2024? Lol

Should have been good, but plagued with issues
Bought this laptop just for web browsing & Microsoft office usage. After a few days of use, I had to return it due to a few issues that I couldn't excuse. Issues: - CPU runs very hot. Just for normal tasks like web browsing, the laptop would get hot enough that I couldn't keep it on my lap. I personally believe that it's due to the chassis being too thin to properly cool it. Perhaps if you keep it on a desk you could get by, but I couldn't excuse it. - Touch pad did not feel good to use. Hard to explain, but I just found it unpleasant to use. It's a shame because it's so large which deserves some kudos, but after using a MacBook for a while, this one just feels poor. - The front facing camera didn't work. I thought that maybe I hadn't installed a driver, but from some internet research, others have had the same issue. Apparently it's due to the drivers being signed for a beta version of Windows instead of the current version. Either way, the front facing camera and IR camera just weren't detected by the computer and weren't usable. - Minor gripe, but I dislike how the power button is just a normal key in between the delete and print screen. If it had a different click style then it wouldn't be too bad, but it being just a normal key that you can accidentally misclick is a bit annoying. Just to balance things out, somethings I like about it: - Nice screen. OLED at 2880x1800 looks good at this size and 120hz, touch, and pen support are also nice additions. I'm personally not affected by the supposed flickering so your mileage my vary. - Decent port selection. 2x USB-4 ports, 1x USB-A, HDMI, and SD card it enough for my use case. - Good build quality. Doesn't feel cheap or flimsy apart from the trackpad. The "Ceraluminum" (or however it's spelled) generally feels nice, gives it some character. - CPU seems powerful and efficient enough. I don't really use any heavy processor applications, but from my use case, I didn't really have any hiccups. - I didn't get enough time to see how the battery life is so I have nothing to say about that. It's honestly a shame because this is a nice laptop, but for the long run, I couldn't justify the issues the laptop has.
