A:AnswerNot sure why folks are saying it will not last more than a month. I've had mine since January 2017 and it's still going strong. Granted I am not an intense gamer but the only issue I've had with this notebook was when I first ordered it the end of last year and discovered the optical drive was defective. Best Buy took unit back and a new one was sent out with my same specs. Replacement received in January 2017 and no problems encountered thus far.
A:AnswerThis notebook does not play BlueRay unless the drive has been upgraded now by ASUS. I bought my product at the beginning of the year. This was a bit disappointing but it will play non-blueray discs. There are so many other features that I liked so the lack of a BlueRay optical drive didn't prompt me to return this laptop..
A:AnswerRegular use it says about 6 hours, I don't browse much on it. It does have a battery saver mode that extends the batt by dimming screen and throttling the CPU. Gaming depends if the game is using Nvidia GPU or the motherboard ,then maybe a good hour and half or 4 respectively. Just depends on settings and what the game requires and if connectivity is needed.
A:AnswerIt depends on what you're used to and what you're doing. Sitting in one spot most of the day, it's perfect. Running around a lot, it might get heavy'ish. I use this primarily for home use. I use my Surface Pro when I have to run around a lot. It's funny how heavy a couple pounds can get.
