Customer Ratings & Reviews

been using this Asus laptop for a week and I always find these laptop a perfect starter laptop for someone whose maybe not very familiar or whose new to using a computer, specially these days even school laptops are even more common more than it has ever been, and for the price fthis Asus laptop is a perfect laptop to buy and start enjoying windows 11 for work and browsing. DEVICE this an entry level laptop that’s equipped with Intel Pentium processor, with 4GB of Ram and 64 Gb eMMC storage. 14 inch screen size, with the resolution of 1920x1080 HD. the 4GM might be a bit small when it comes to opening multiple browser luckily im never a type to keep more than 3 browser active but for those who likes to have 10 tabs active , yeah you might experience some slow down. also storage aint much either but external storage is been around so would cheaper to get an external hardrive if you need more space. this laptop looks great it’s fairly slim enough to fit in backpacks. overall the laptop looks slick the trackpad also has a number pad option printed, the keys are sound’s are good enough for the quality. didn’t notice any issue with the screen great colors with no deformity. CONCLUSION This Asus laptop is something to consider, it has great battery life. it’s great for teenagers or a great starter laptop for any ages. again 4GB of ram does limits you and 64Gb of space, but again for the price and it’s currently on sale you can’t complain much, you will end up with the same specs on most pc for the budget value you are looking for. I recommend this for light use. don’t expect to game much on this laptop maybe browser games that’s about it. overall this a perfect beginner laptop is how I like to call it.

The ASUS 14" laptop with Intel N6000 processor is a solid basic task oriented laptop for those who need a portable laptop that can surf, stream, or run serial processes. In the box is the laptop and power cable, setup is the standard Windows workflow of picking your basic preferences and then if you already have a Onedrive account you can sync files and programs between computers. This build comes with a year of Microsoft 365 which is the web based version of Office tools such as Word and Excel.  As far as peripheral support (keyboard, mouse, headphones, etc), the laptop has a USB-A 2.0 port, USB-A 3.2 port, USB-C 3.2 port, HDMI 1.4 port, and a headphone jack.  It also boasts wifi 5 and bluetooth for connectivity.  The perks of this laptop build are in the portability, value, and design.  The laptop weighs in at just under 3 lbs, is 3/4" thick so it can easily tuck into most any bag, and has a sturdy feel to the case, frame, and hinges.  The screen is a 220 nit LED Full HD display, and is easy to view at most angles. The keyboard is well laid out, and the mouse pad has an integrated number pad that can be turned on/off via the top corner of the mouse pad. Overall, I really like the build, it feels sturdy to include the fold flat hinges, and doesn't feel crammed into the footprint.  The keyboard is well spaced for those with larger fingers, and has a good amount of key friction for accurate response.  A few considerations that may not appeal to everyone: Windows 11 has S mode which you will have to disable to install any applications external to the Microsoft app store. The upside is that Windows is a light version that only comes with basic applications and no bloatware.  Note, once S mode is disabled you cannot reenable without reinstalling Windows.  The S mode approach is great if you need to control content security or applications for a child, but I found it to be a pain as I wanted to install my preferred browser, and had to disable immediately upon setup. Second, the 4 GB RAM is enough to do the basics, but really only one at a time. I find that it takes a second to load a file, respond to a click, or do any type of multi-tasking.  The more applications open the more lag, the trade off is that the machine does great for browsing and single tasks if you are patient. Lastly the camera is a toss up, on the plus side this laptop has a 720p camera, the downside is that the camera is a bit laggy and takes seconds to readjust to lighting changes, giving the subject a washed out look until the processor catches up. Overall, this is a buy for students, those who need a budget friendly portable computer, and those who have a single application need.  I find that this laptop is a great fit for tracking data when I'm out in the garage and it is exactly what I need for building part reference files and looking up and keeping track of part numbers. The laptop does a great job for internet browsing, and with wifi 5 I do not have any lag while internet browsing.  On the flip side, I'd recommend upgrading if you need a laptop that can game or run processor heavy applications routinely. Yes this laptop can do it, but there will be frustrations with lag. 

This laptop initially looks like it would not be much for the price. I unboxed it and pleasantly it is similar to laptops priced above this price class. Build materials are ok but not as cheap as you would think. I liked the number pad built into the touch pad. The Power adapter is just ok but wish they could have used USBC over the barrel connector but assuming cost was a factor. When powering on and setting up the initial out of box. It took over 2 hours to run the initial updates and setup prompts before I was at a working desktop. After using for basic productivity such as web browsing and word documents. It performs ok. Just as long as you’re using one thing at a time. I found the most delay when loading web pages especially if you had more than one tab open at a time. It was just painful to let the system freeze and wait for it to respond. Obviously, the low ram and SD storage is the limiting factor but for basic school use this works. I would spend more if I needed to do more multitasking. The battery life is decent. I was able to get 6-7 hours of basic web and word use. I would recommend if the use was limited otherwise, I personally would just spend a little more for something with at least 8gb of ram and a larger SSD since you cannot really save anything to this laptop. I know the use is more web based but sometimes you need to save stuff offline. Pro’s: • Affordable • Number pad built into touch pad • Ports: USBC, USBA and HDMI • Good battery life Con’s: • Still slow with multitasking • Number pad is inaccurate • No backlit keyboard • No upgrade options for ram/ssd

I give the Asus 14” FHD laptop kudos for its compact size and weight, for having a traditional AC style adapter (keeping the USB-C port clear), and having a HDMI port. Other than that, though, it’s a struggle to find the positives in having this laptop, unless it’s the price that drives you. And believe it or not, I’m usually an Asus fan. Out of the box, it was 70 percent charged so I was able to get started with set up. It comes with Windows 11 and unfortunately, runs in S-mode. If you don’t know, S-mode makes it virtually impossible to add programs or apps unless it’s one that’s in Microsoft’s app store. The laptop needed to update, which even plugged in, took about 36 minutes and what seems to be a lot of memory. Even after updating, it takes more seconds than I would like to even open the Windows log-in screen. As for operations, it performs almost as slow as molasses, especially if you have more than one window open at a time. With 4GB of RAM (and no way to expand it) and 64GB of storage, it’s barely enough to run a chunky operating system like Windows 11 and Microsoft programs, so I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised that the laptop bogs down and lags so easily. And having the 10-key number pad on the mouse pad is just plain annoying. Who wants to have to keep toggling the Num Lock on and off to use the mouse pad? Not me. This is definitely a laptop for someone who doesn’t need to multi-task on it or that only wants to do some very light web browsing from time to time. I can’t even recommend it as an entry level one for students given that most of the schools use Google Classroom or other web-based curriculum programs. My advice would be to spend a little more money on one with either more memory or more adaptability.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this laptop. For the price, it's pretty tempting. It costs less than a lot of Chromebooks, and it has Windows 11. It's 14 inches, has a cool touchpad number pad thing, and it looks pretty sleek. Even though it only has 64 gigs of storage and 4 gigs of RAM, at least you can download and install whatever apps you want, which makes it way better than a Chromebook, right? Let's get into that. Look, Feel, Build Quality: As far as how it LOOKS, I'd say it's lovely. The lid is this shade of black that almost looks like it has a blue tinge to it, it's decently thin, and for the size, it's not very heavy. There's no deck flex either, so typing or resting your wrists doesn't feel spongy. That said, it feels a little... chintzy. It's pretty hollow feeling, like there's not much inside, and the plastic doesn't feel the nicest. That said, for $160, it's hard to complain. Keyboard: This keyboard is pretty good feeling! The keys are pretty tactile, and not spongy at all. On a first try, my WPM was 71, which is a little lower than my average, but not by too much. One small complaint though - the backspace key is a little smaller than a standard one, and on the right of it is a home key. I keep accidentally pressing it when I'm trying to delete text and it sends the cursor to the first position of the textbox. Minor quirk, no biggie. Sound: It's an inexpensive laptop. They're tinny, they're quiet, they work. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about, either. Screen: So here, we definitely see where some corners were cut for the price. The matte screen has some of the worst viewing angles I've ever seen on a laptop, and even when you're dead on, the colors are washed out and lifeless. It's hard to feel like you're looking at it correctly ever because of how bad the viewing angles are. That said, it's an HD display, and for the price, I can't complain. Performance: Here's where the fun begins. This is equipped with a Pentium N6000 - it's got 4 cores, 4 threads, and it's clocked at around 1.1 gigahertz. It's not fast. It's got 4 gigs of RAM, which hasn't been adequate for Windows since 10 was brand new. It chugs. Opening anything - a browser, a new tab, a website, is slow. But it goes deeper - opening settings can lag and take a few seconds. Clicking anywhere in settings can take a few seconds and lag. Long story short, you're going to deal with lag no matter what you do. But it's Windows, so you have lots of options for things, right? You can use a different browser than Edge, you can download some software and use it as an offline machine, so you have plenty of options, right? Wrong. This laptop ships in S mode - it's designed for "security and performance," they say. What this means is that you can't download any applications from a browser. You can't install Firefox or Chrome, you can't install Scrivener or Audacity, it will not let you do that. If you want anything that's not included with the computer, you must download it from the Microsoft store, which severely limits your options. You ARE able to take it out of S mode, but you can't go back to S mode once you do. I didn't want to test it out of S mode because I was worried the performance would suffer too much and render the laptop effectively unusable. This thing will work for the most basic of web browsing, but only barely. There are far better options out there. Upgradability: It seems silly, but upgradability on a laptop can drastically improve the lifespan of the device. Something as simple as extra RAM or an SSD can breathe new life into an old or underperforming device. Another 4 gigs of RAM in this would probably make it pretty decent, right? It's not upgradable, at all. There is nowhere to put another SSD, there is nowhere to put RAM, there's no way to do much of anything. What you see is what you get. Those of you with a keen eye may notice an open M.2 slot on the motherboard. Alas, there is no opening on the motherboard to screw it down, unless it's under the heat shield/spreader, which would be unwise to tamper with, given that this device only has passive cooling. There are no fans. Final thoughts: I have a 2014 Macbook Air. Despite the fact that it's a decade old, it has 8 gigs of RAM, 256 of storage, and much, much faster performance. (It's impressive how fast it is, given the age!) It looks sleek, has a backlit keyboard, and a crisp, clear, colorful display. You can download Mac compatible software from the robust app store AND from online, even if the older Mac OS version limits you a bit. You can even emulate PS2 on it pretty well! You can purchase one readily on eBay for $90-$100. You can purchase a brand new Chromebook for a little more than this costs, get the same (if not better) functionality, and much faster performance. I'm certain you could install Linux on this, but that's not my wheelhouse - I couldn't tell you how viable this would be for it. This is manufactured e-waste. This isn't a very useful device to have, especially since you don't even get the flexibility of Windows out of the box. I can't recommend purchasing this laptop. Please, get almost anything else.

This is a perfectly fine laptop computer with a few features that one should note. It is small, with only a 14" FHD (Full High Definition—meaning the same resolution as on your HDTV at 1920 x 1080 pixels.) screen. The screen image is excellent. It is bright with sharp text and images. With the Intel Pentium processor and 4GB of RAM, software and web pages load quickly. It comes with the Windows S operating system. In S mode, you stay within the Microsoft Store universe as far as applications like browsers, word processors, and so forth. The idea is that security is enhanced when all of the software on the machine is from a single, well-secured source. Of course, this means that you can’t install something like Chrome as your browser. Microsoft’s browser, Edge, is perfectly fine and runs the same under the hood as Chrome, so your decision. If you do exit S mode, like the Burt Lancaster character at the end of the movie Field of Dreams, where he steps off the baseball field to help the young girl who is choking and in the process turns from a young kid wearing a baseball uniform back into the elderly doctor, you can’t go back. I have used S Mode computers before, and I have generally ended up exiting the mode because there is pretty much always some piece of software I use all the time for with there is no equivalent available from the Microsoft store. By being careful, and with the large number of excellent anti-virus software options out there, I’ve never had a problem with computer security resulting from exiting S Mode. A new feature that I’ve not seen before that I think is a great idea and that I’m surprised we’ve not seen before now is that the touchpad can be toggled to be two other devices, a number pad that is typically not a available on a laptop and a calculator. The pad actually has the layout of a number pad on it (numbers, +, -, and = keys, and so forth). Switching it on, which is done by pressing the switch in the top right corner of the pad, turns it into a number pad. Pressing down on the on/off switch and then swiping with the same finger brings up a calculator right on the computer’s display. To use the calculator, however, you need to either turn the pad back into a touchpad and move the pointer around to select a calculator key or connect an external mouse. In fact, I always connect an external mouse to a laptop because I’ve never been a big fan of touchpads. Remember that, if you switch the touchpad to a number pad or calculator, it is no longer a touchpad, so an external mouse is almost a necessity. You can, of course, start the calculator and then convert the pad back to a touchpad to be able to move the cursor around and actually use the calculator. It really isn’t all that difficult to use the computer without a mouse, and I have to say that having a calculator so handy is quite a plus. I work with spreadsheets and financial figures regularly, and I’m always reaching for the little TI calculator I’ve had for probably 20 years, so having a calculator so easily available right there on the computer is a big plus for me. As I said, I’m surprised someone didn’t think of this long ago. The computer itself is stylish, with large, comfortable keys. It’s small size makes it great for travel as it will fit easily in pretty much any computer case or backpack. Coupled with the very competitive price, this would make a great computer for a student or anyone who needs portable computing capability.

The ASUS 14” FHD Laptop is a lightweight, low-cost, durably built computer designed to run Windows 10 in S Mode. For a laptop priced this low, but with such a solid and quality feel, makes this a perfect device for a student or for frequent traveling. Setup Unboxing and setup with Windows 10 S Mode took a little over one hour. The base and lid have a high-quality and durable feel. The lid and keyboard base have a smooth black aluminum texture. The bottom of the base has a firm plastic black texture with rubber feet and speakers on each side. The left side of the base has the power port, HDMI, USB, USB-C, and headphone/mic port. The right side of the base has another USB port. The keyboard keys are textured, nicely sized, and comfortably spaced for touch typing. The dual-purpose trackpad is centered below the keys. It can be toggled between the touchpad and numeric keypad by tapping the icon at the top-right corner. A white LED light shows when the numeric pad is active. The Enter key has a highlighted band of light plastic; however, I am disappointed that the keyboard does not have a backlight. Usage S Mode is a streamlined version of Microsoft Windows designed for enhanced security, optimized performance on low-spec hardware, and longer battery life. Only apps from the Microsoft Store can be installed to reduce the risk of malware. I installed and ran the Nero Score benchmark and got the following scores: • Total Score: 779 • AI Tagging CPU: 174 • System AVC CPU: 422 • System AVC GPU: 884 • Metaverse GPU: 77 The Nero Score site shows these scores as below average for performance. The laptop performs well with the Microsoft Office suite. Streaming YouTube videos with the Edge browser performed well without any lag, and the sound of music videos was clear and crisp. A graphically intensive game called Astrokings performed smoothly without any lag. Overall, the ASUS E410KA laptop is an entry-level, low-cost performer, with a decent battery life - perfect for a student. Its lightweight and durability make it a good fit for a backpack. The lack of a backlit keyboard knocks it down to four stars, but I would still recommend it. Features • Intel Celeron-N6000 Processor, 1.1 GHz with 4 cores • 14" 1920 x 1080 LED FHD IPS display, 60Hz refresh, 220 nits • Intel UHD GPU • 4GB DDR4 RAM, 3200 megahertz • 64GB eMMC storage • Up to 10 hours of battery life, Lithium-ion • Windows 11 Home • 1 HDMI 1.4 port • 1 USB-A 2.0 port • 1 USB-A 3.2 port • 1 USB-C 3.2 port • Headphone/Microphone port • Wi-Fi 5 • Bluetooth • Front-facing 720p camera • Built-In microphone • Weight 2.87 pounds • 1-year warranty

For the price, this is a great laptop. It’s not a Chromebook, and at this price!!! The computer is fast but obviously the RAM and Storage is not incredible, but at this price, get some an external Hard Drive and there you go. I am reviewing this at 4 out of 5 stars based on the fact that this is a windows laptop for about $120. Of course it’s not a game changer and the only thing I can complain about is that the keys are not backlit. Are there better laptops? Yes. Is this one amazing? No. But at the $120 price, this laptop is incredible, perfect for watching shows, doing homework, checking emails… I used mine to program and map LED walls for work and it was beyond perfect. I had no issues and I wasn’t obsessing over keeping my computer with me every time I left the room because I want leaving my MacBook Pro behind. So if you need a computer for school, or situations where you won’t freak out if you lose or break your device, this is perfect. Pentium chip, not a Chromebook, $120. 4 out of 5 stars.

Not every laptop needs to be a powerhouse for gaming or creative output, sometimes you just need a keyboard to take on the go. That’s where computers like the Asus 14” UHD come in, a simple productivity focused and portable laptop. In the box you get the laptop, the charging cord, and some documentation to get you started…everything you need and nothing you don't. The laptop is small but not tiny which makes it light and very comfortable to take on the go and it features an HDMI port, a headphone/mic jack, a USB-C port, and two USB-A ports (one is the older USB-A 2.0 and the other is USB-A 3.2). Your only storage hardware is a 64gb flash hard drive, the diagram in the owners manual shows an SD slot on the side but it must be on another model as there’s nowhere for an SD or microSD to insert. The three USB generational ports will allow for thumb drives or external storage but a way to expand storage with SD or M2 would have been nice. My laptop came out of the box needing to be charged, it only took a couple hours, then I was able to start my journey with the Windows setup process. My first red flag with this laptop was the “Getting things ready” screen where Windows prepares to load the desktop which usually takes a minute or two. My laptop took almost five minutes to get things ready, that’s a really long time before anything but a few settings have been loaded onto the computer. After I finally got the laptop charged and booted up to the desktop I took it for a test drive, doing some emails, spreadsheet budgeting, and typing up some things for work. Nothing strenuous, I didn’t even have music playing in another tab, but I found that it would drop performance off and on: mouse losing “frame rate” and jumping across the screen instead of sliding as I moved my finger, windows would take a couple extra seconds to pop open….things like that. With a productivity laptop in this price point this shouldn’t be a deal breaker but its worth mentioning. However, the one thing I do think should give you pause if this is the right laptop for you is the interesting decision to put the num pad on the mouse pad. This means that you can use the laptop’s track pad “normally” or push the NUM button on the pad and it becomes a 10-Key number pad. This is a cool feature, since I prefer to use a number pad than the keys along the top of the keyboard, but having to push the track pad on and off to navigate websites or documents is annoying. Maybe using it for extended time would make it like a second nature or more integrated into your work flow but I found it to be tedious personally. There’s not much else to say, the battery lasts a decent amount of time which is nice. The ports and on both sides which is again a luxury some laptops don’t offer. I found the volume of the speakers to be plenty loud enough to watch videos or stream movies on and the brightness could slide from too dark to see anything to burning my retinas bright. You’ll be able to pack this little guy into just about any bag you take with you and get work done on the go…if you don’t mind constant periodic lags and frame rate loss. The price is right for simple productivity but that price point also puts you into a position of having to accept a less smooth user experience.

With the holidays coming and being in need of a good little laptop that inexpensive that does a lot of things good. This ASUS 14” FHD Laptop was great to cover all of the basics. I needed something that was light weight compact and this fit that profile. I needed something that could handle task like media play and word processing and this little laptop didn’t let me down. My last need was for it to be inexpensive and the price of this blew me away. Set up just like any of the new laptops is extremely simple and can be done by anyone with the slightest computer knowledge. The ASUS 14” FHD laptop walks you through the complete setup process from start to finish. Then entire setup process took me approx. 30 minutes. Just remember before starting the process charge your laptop battery completely. My kid needed something that was easily carried while in college that was compact and light. So, at 14 inches this ASUS laptop was a great place to start. It easily fits in a back pack and with it being light weight its effortlessly transported. The size helps it fit in small spaces and areas. To add, a laptop with such dimensions it has a number pad integrated into it. The ASUS 14” FHD has a nice vivid screen that displays played media very well. Watching lectures and doing research has been a breeze using this laptop. It navigates web pages with ease and the key spacing on the keyboard is very comfortable to use while typing. The only issue, if you can call it an issue this day and age, is the lack of drive storage space. At 64g that’s not much space at all, it was easily nullified through the use of cloud storage and an external SSD. The benefit to using the external SSD and cloud is the ability to access your files on other computers. My final need was for the laptop to be inexpensive. This ASUS, in my opinion, is affordable for just about any budget. It gives me a peace of mind know that if anything happens to this laptop unexpectedly, I can easily replace it. For those times when accidents happen, and we all know they do, replacement won’t break the bank. This laptop covered all of bases. I needed it to be light weight, had good power and is low budget. This ASUS 14” FHD is perfect. I 100 percent recommend this laptop. But if you require more internal storage then this isn’t for you. As for me, this ASUS laptop is perfect.

Pros: Cheap Lightweight Good battery life Expandable m.2 storage Easy to open Works with a variety of OS Cons: Built in storage is terrible consider using the free m.2 slot The display is really washed out with little to no contrast Windows S locks down the system to only run apps from the Microsoft store 4GB of ram is not enough to run windows and its non upgradable Local media playback is great however streaming video both live(twitch) and cold(YouTube) results in low quality stuttering video If you need a laptop to do some light web browsing(not playing video), do schoolwork or check emails this laptop is great. What’s not great is the included operating system in S mode. Windows 11 S only lets you install apps and programs from the Microsoft store. You can switch over to regular windows but performance drops significantly when you do. If your like me and need a system you can customize or need specific programs to run not included in the ms store you can switch to win 11 standard and take a performance penalty or switch over to any Linux based os. I have Linux mint and pop OS currently installed and both offer better performance than both win 11 s and win 11 standard. I’m even able to watch YouTube without the constant buffering suffered on windows. Software aside this laptop is more or less e waste and serves more as a stop gap while you save up and buy something better.

Cost effective check. Simple setup check. Long battery life check. Windows based check. Office Suite check. So Asus's budget laptop is great for students and simple home or small office use. Only apps that can be loaded are that from Microsoft store. I tried to load another software that does bench marking but it didn't let me. I knew it wouldn't but I tried anyway. Internet speed was decent up and down. Office Suite is always useful and handy. USB two of them, micro USB, and HDMI plugs are available for use. Screen resolution is ok. The only issue I have with similar products are that theses screens have a white ting so it kind of has a hazy appearance to it. I also wished it had an micro SD card and a bit more memory because after updating and doing all the setup I only had 36 GB left to use. So you can't use this for photos or videos and all. The touch mouse is REALLY the highlight of this product...... It is basically a 10 key pad that is great! Anyway this budget laptop makes the cut for budget laptop and form basic uses.

I would like to start by saying that this laptop is designed for a specific type of use, and group of users. Therefore, I based my review keeping this in mind, and did not try to do compare against laptops costing far more, and higher spec'ed hardware. This arrived boxed very nicely. Did the usual setup and updates. This is running Windows 11 in “S” mode. This only allows installing apps from Microsoft store, use Microsoft Edge browser, and command line is restricted. This may be beneficial as most apps from Microsoft store are smaller and will take up less space in storage. As to storage, this has a 64Gb eMMC, and a large portion is already used with system and apps. However, it does have two USB A ports (1 – 2.0, and 1 – 3.2), and one USB C port that can be utilized with a flash drive to store all your music, photos or videos. The processor is a Intel Pentium N6000 with four cores, running at 1.1GHz, and boost to 3.3 GHz. Ram is 4Gb DDR4. The screen is a 14 inch, FHD, 1920 X 1080, 60Hz, and rated at 220 Nits. Graphics are integrated. It does have an HDMI port and a headphone jack. The keyboard has a good feel, the keys are well spaced, and have a good travel. The key markings are in white lettering, and are very visible in lighted areas. But a backlit keyboard would have been a nice improvement if using in a dim area. The track pad performed well, and had a positive “click” feel. Also, a nice touch, the trackpad has a numpad built in that can be switched on or off. However, again, would have been an improvement to have the trackpad backlit as well. The only negative – and reason for only 4 stars – is the screen “washes” out if it is tilted a few degrees up or down, or side to side. When using for basic tasks such as surfing internet, email, and streaming videos, this laptop surprised me. The Pentium processor chugged right along and handled these tasks well. Have multiple tabs open, running numerous apps at same time will definitely slow this machine down. Again, using as designed, this is a great choice for the student doing research, reports, etc. Or the user that needs to do basic tasks such as emails, stream videos, surf internet, maybe some on line shopping or banking. For that, this is an excellent choice, at an attractive price!

I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend who isn't very tech savvy, but needed something simple and easy to use. As for as computing goes he only checks his email, reads the news, and plays ACR online. This little device handles the job perfectly. It comes preinstalled with Windows 11 S, which is a simplified version of the full windows experience that saves space. You can opt to change your OS to Windows 11 Home immediately after setup if needed. This allows you to download desktop applications outside of the Windows Store. He needed to do this to download an ACR client and we've had no problems. He tested the battery life and was impressed that he was able to use the device for nearly 8 hours without a charge. Also, this laptop is lightweight, sleek, and very sharp-looking in appearance.

After a week of use, I am happy with this purchase. I took the computer out of s-mode, downloaded the included 1-yr MS 365 office programs, loaded up some financial apps and still have 21GB of on-board storage left. If I want to load music, videos, pictures or large documents I will store them on a low-profile thumb drive plugged into the side of the computer. Also, there is a windows 11 setting screen which provides for telling the system where different data types should be stored. (Settings> Storage>Where new content is saved). With the computer on-line and streaming financial data I get about 6 hours of run time with about 8-10% of battery life left. The battery seems to re-charge fairly fast with the included adapter. While there are usb ports, there is no sd card slot. The keyboard isn't lit, the sound is ok. While the angle of the screen is adjustable, I find the viewing angle to be fairly limited. That might be a plus if working in a crowded airport and you don't want others viewing your screen. There is no fan, the internal storage and ram can't be expanded. Others report that there is an internal open slot for a card, but that the system has been fixed so the slot can't be activated. As I am not using this computer to play games, I find the power of the Pentium Silver chip, 4GB Memory & 64GB eMMC, meets my needs.

I bought this ASUS 14" laptop as a lightweight, affordable option for basic tasks—and it delivers exactly that. The Full HD screen is sharp and bright, which is a nice surprise at this price point. It handles web browsing, streaming, and document editing without any issues. The Intel Pentium N6000 isn't built for heavy multitasking or gaming, but for casual use, it gets the job done smoothly. The 4GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC storage are a bit limiting, so I added cloud storage and a microSD card to expand the space, which helped a lot. Battery life is decent—I can get about 6 to 8 hours on a single charge with light use. The build quality feels solid, and the Star Black finish gives it a sleek, modern look. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable laptop for school, travel, or light work, this is a great choice. Just know its limits and you won't be disappointed.

The ASUS 14" FHD Laptop is a budget-friendly option for basic tasks like web browsing and document editing. It features a Full HD display, lightweight design, and good battery life, but its 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage limit performance and multitasking. Ideal for students or casual users, but not suited for demanding applications. Great for light use, but storage and speed may be an issue.

ASUS 14" FHD Laptop - Intel Pentium N6000 with 4GB Memory - 64GB I've had numerous Windows laptops for almost forty years and have had seven or eight different brands. I received this laptop knowing my wife could use a mobile laptop when she does her work at home or on the road. I knew the specs on this PC were not very powerful but for her it seems to fit the bill. The spec you can see in my title which are nothing to brag about but for someone who is going to use it for web browsing and word processing it is certainly sufficient. I will share what we really like about this PC: Mobility The PC is thin and extremely light and has a small footprint. Keyboard: The key press is soft and silent and easy to the touch. The letters shown on the keys are large. The enter key is smaller than why I am used but is highlight with a bright border. The mouse pad also serves as a numeric pad though I don't know who well it works. Ports For a PC this size it is installed with a good set of ports 2 USB 1 USB-C HDMI Microphone Software Microsoft Office 365 is installed and available on this laptop. This provides MS office products via the internet. With internet access you do not have to purchase or install MS Office. I believe this is a well-made and thought-out laptop. It's not a heavy hitter but works very well with a web browser and the Web Office apps installed. It is an excellent product for light office work and web browsing.

There are some who may give this product a lesser rating because of the specification. My approach to this review is the specifications are as designed at what was purchased. My opinion is this is a budget-minded laptop that performs well. If you are looking for something robust, this is not for you. If you are looking for something for email, web surfing and documents, this is a great budget minded laptop. First, set up was easy. While it took over an hour, this is not an Asus issue, its how windows works and is deployed. There are many updates and that takes time. The ASUS 14" FHD Laptop - Intel Pentium N6000 looks and feels great. I was able to surf the internet, create a work document, and check email. Start-up is fairly fast. I absolutely love the touchpad that has a numeric function to it. I have never seen this before and it is genius. I personally don’t like the EMMC instead of the hard drive. What this does is it give you space for an operating system and some apps. The size is small, so you won’t be able to store large document, files, videos or photos here. You will need an external device or could. With that said, I was fully aware of this when selecting this laptop. If you are budget-minded and don’t have a lot to spend on a computer or you need typical simple features, this is for you. Given how it is advertised, the speed and function, I don’t think you will find anything better for the money.

This is similar to other ASUS low end laptops but with the N6000 processor. Although the picture shows a micro sd card slot, it does not have one. The ram is soldered and can not be upgraded. It is fanless. It comes with an nvme m.2 socket which has speeds of 2.2 GB/s and can be used as a boot drive which is probably the best way to run Windows rather than with the 64 GB eMMC storage. The onboard storage ran at approximately 300 MB/s read and 70 MB/s write. It runs linux without any obvious problems. Overall a nice low end device for limited duty such as field use, home server, or single purpose. I bought mine at $140 which is a very good value if it meets your needs.
