I am thrilled about this purchase. This is a superb laptop, with a fast response and outstanding graphics. I can perform multiple tasks without any trouble. While I hesitated on buying an ASUS product (this is the first one I’ve ever had), the advice I got at Best Buy was indeed the best: this is an excellent buy. I would totally recommend this laptop!

This thing is seriously awesome, and I'm so glad I got it. It handles everything my wife throws at it with her drawing tablet. Plus, all the art programs and other creative software run flawlessly, which is a huge relief. No lag or glitches, just pure smooth performance! I highly recommend it.

Purchased laptop for work looking for an alternative to the Macbook Air 15.
Pros:
Lightweight
OLED display is sharp and bright
Performance - in regular Office type tasks and Web - felt snappy
Design - I thought it looked clean and professional
Ports - good selection of ports
Ease of setup - been trying out Snapdragon laptops and had trouble getting printers and scanners to work it was nice to just have everything that needed to be installed just install without issues
Cons/Issues:
My unit had intermittent screen flickers
Runs hot you don't notice the fans to much but it's hot like a gaming laptop hot just doing normal stuff
Came without "Old" MS Outlook and subsequently the Mail setting in Control Panel which made it impossible to setup Exchange settings for Outlook Mail. New Outlook doesn't support Exchange Mail and I couldn't find a way to download Old Outlook and Old Control Panel. Ultimately returned for this reason
It's a nice laptop that ticks off a lot of boxes. The screen flicker issue might be just with the specific unit. The heat is worrisome but I guess it's expected for something this thin. Ultimately the inablity to setup my Exchange email along with the flickering screen had me returning it, but this has me looking at some of the other laptops with this processor.

I’ve been using it for almost a month now. Overall, it’s a pretty good laptop with decent speed and smooth performance, everything runs smoothly. Occasionally, the screen goes black for a few seconds, but aside from that, it works well

Disappointed - Freezes, Gets Hot and Loud

As soon as the ASUS laptop arrived, I went to set it up and plugged it in. Instantly, it was loud and became hot. As I was setting it up, it kept freezing on me. I called ASUS tech support numerous times, only for them to tell me to give it a hard reset to put it back to the factory settings. I tried to do this numerous times over a few hours with no such luck. It would only FREEZE again! They gave me a case number. ASUS suggested I return the laptop or send it to them for repair. I called Best Buy, too. ASUS and Best Buy were very helpful. I will be returning this ASUS laptop and will purchase an HP instead! I will not exchange this for the same laptop only to have the same issues 1 year and a day later. No thank you! :(

My last Asus got me through 10 years of school, work, DJing, and life. This was a huge upgrade with speed and SSD, I couldn’t be more pleased. Price point, options, and my Best Buy experience was top notch. Sam helped me, worked with me for an hour and never batted an eye at all my questions, and repeat questions. Asus vs Mac on price and user friendly is a no brainer for us Gen X folks that do not like change. Well done Asus, I’m a customer for life!

I purchased this laptop primarily for architectural work using AutoCAD and 3D programs, and I’m 100% satisfied. Rendering is fast, and even heavy programs run smoothly. The basic pre-installed programs are well-organized and easy to use. The laptop also boots up very quickly. Highly recommended for design professionals!
