    Its so lite, compact and reliable - I love it! Bought for my son't bday and he LOVES IT till this day! We purchased it just in time for the virtual learning craziness as a result of COVID-19 so it has definitely been useful. The cost was also quite reasonable. I esp love the white option for this!

    Main use is for my sons 1st grade Zoom meetings with his class and the sites with his work. It starts up quick and is easy to use. Speakers could be better but he uses headphones. The video quality is great when using zoom. I tried the camera and the quality isn't good but I don't see us using the laptop as a camera. I feel it was a great buy at the sale price of $299. I feel I might need another one for my daughter who will be starting Kindergarten if this pandemic doesn't end as they might have zoom meetings at the same time. Hopefully it's still on sale. If for a child and for just browsing the web this laptop is a good choice.

    I purchased this computer for my son for distance learning. It works well enough for my son and the older adults that live in my home that use zoom. I like it and it was a good sale price in a pinch.

    I was looking for a computer to do some classes online but not break the bank. I’m so glad I went with this ASUS it’s very fast holds a good charge and does everything I need. Only thing I wish the speakers were on top instead of the bottom. I can’t complain yet it’s been a month so far so good!

    I’ve purchased many laptops the last 20 years. This cheap laptop is one of the best! At any price! I use it for writing with scrivener, email, web surfing. For this it’s all you need. Excellemy! If your doing music with a daw, editing video, etc. no this is worthless to you.

    I had, and informed, the salesperson that my current computer was an HP2000. Also informed salesperson I do a lot of photography and that was the main use of the computer. Needed a new computer because proprietary battery no longer available and after market battery only lasted a little over a month. Was told this notebook would meet my needs, and that it had larger storage capacity. It does not. It only has 128 GB, whereas the computer I had was 512 GB on one drive. Additional drive mainly applications. Computer is much faster than what I had, easy to use, poor storage.

    It is a great little lap top for the price, BUT it is definitely slower with the smaller processor. I often need to reboot to regain speed, otherwise it bogs down easily. Again, though I will say for the money, it is not bad at all. I have always liked ASUS products. This one is very lightweight, has a good monitor - clear, bright screen, and a decent hard drive considering the price, etc. It also has a very good battery - I can go longer in between charges with this laptop than any other laptop or tablet I have owned!

    I got this laptop because it was on sale and I didn't want to spend a ton of money and I am pleasantly surprised. I downloaded adobe premiere and lightroom for my work and the computer is still super fast. My only complaint is that the speakers don't very loud at all.

    My third Asus laptop for the family. This is for beginner use and the performance based on the specs and Win10S is good. Wish the ram was upgradable but it's onboard. Cool color and sleek style.

    I purchased this laptop when my children began having to do their school work at home due to COVID. My 6 year old is the primary user. She was able to easily access her online curriculum and she also uses it to play Roblox. Seems like a good laptop for the price.

    As I already have several computers, I needed one for my boyfriend when I have the rest tied up. Does the job. Easy to use. Looks nice. The best part is the price! I use mine for business reasons (and play). This one is for play (and business).

    I'm upset with Microsoft. The computer's nice, but I hate the proprietary Microsoft S. (: If you remove it but change your mind it can't be reinstalled. I can't use the McAfee security software I run on my other computer. As for the comuter itself, it has pretty good sound, it's pretty fast and I love the design until my black cat gets hair all over it! :) I'd recommend the computer but not the software.

      Dear Debz1,

      Do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused you if third-party software or applications cannot be installed. The laptop comes with a WINDOWS 10 S version, which was intended for speed, simplicity and security. Only applications available at the Microsoft Store are allowed to be installed. In order to install third-party applications, the OS needs to be switched to WINDOWS 10 HOME in order to installed third-party applications.

      To successfully switch, WINDOWS 10 S needs to be setup completely and activated online. Once this is completed, please go to Settings, Activation then click "Go to Store" and follow the wizard in order to switch the OS free.

      ​Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help.

      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

      Regards,

      Rodel
