I purchased this machine because all the i7 & 16GB RAM options in stores have a 4K screen, but I personally prefer the battery life improvements of a 1080p screen for this size laptop. I'm glad I ordered this - its an extremely thin laptop, with the lower body only marginally thicker than a standard USB-C port! I average 10 hours of general use battery life so far, which is great. The keyboard feels good and the touchpad is one of the better ones I've used on a Windows laptop. Because of how thin the laptop is, I actually find myself using it as a tablet more than other laptops I've tried. The screen is good and I personally like Asus' design choice in having the bottom of the screen "lift" the lower chasis to put it at an angle when resting on a table or desk. It has it's power button and volume rocker on the right side of the machine, along with a separate fingerprint reader. I think they should have combined the finger print reader and the power button, which I've seen other manufacturers do, but its a small nit-pick. Some people will probably be put off by the lack of ports other than USB-C and a 3.5mm audio jack, but frankly this is the direction of computing and eventually it won't be so bad; it's just we are in the middle of this transition and it's only slightly inconvenient - remember PS2 to USB? Personally, I love the idea of one port for everything, ESPECIALLY it's use of charging, which makes finding replacement or alternative chargers much, MUCH easier, and cheaper. Side note - if anyone else likes to use magnetic tipped USB-C cables for charging like I do, I am pleased to report that this model does NOT have it's lid sensor near the USB-C ports, so those cables will work (at least, I've tested the left side). A few other models of computers I used had their lid sensors located near the ports, which meant the computer went to sleep when I plugged in the charger. As far as included accessories, this laptop comes with it's pen, which is pretty standard on laptops in this price point, but I do wish it matched the color of the laptop (it's silver). However, it separates itself by including a nice metal USB-C dongle, which has one USB-C with power pass-through (to connect it's charger to), an HDMI port, and a USB-A port, which is pretty much everything a general user will need; but if you need wired Ethernet or SD card readers, you will need another dongle. All in all, I give this little laptop a solid 9/10 - with its only downsides being the small gripes I mentioned earlier (finger print and power button separation, and odd colored pen). The price is another downside - when this unit is it's normal price, it's hard to swallow versus other units that have a 4K screen, if you value that. But I personally snagged this on sale (the week of Black Friday) for $999.99, which was an amazing deal to me. It has everything I need and if it fits your bill too, I don't think you can go wrong.

I researched reviews and viewed many options of light laptops. My criteria was: had to be less than 3lbs, battery life of at least 10 hours, i7 processor, 512gb SSD and 16GB memory and USB-C technology. Asus presented the best, lightest,most cost effective option that included a stylus and USB-C docking hub to connect other devices. Straight out of the box performer! I transferred all related files and it's been humming along since. Right size, weight, speed and cost all rolled into one!
