    Just What I Was Looking For

    Got great deal on this laptop thanks to an open box. John at the Marina location heard me out and spent a lot of time looking for a laptop that would not only be suitable for daily tasks but also allow for recreational gaming when the day was out. He pointed this out as being my best option and he was right. ASUS also nailed this one with the ability to switch fan mode and lighting so I can keep the processor cool while playing but dial it down to silent if I'm on MS Word at a coffee shop. Solid choice for the working gamer.

    I purchased this laptop to replace a desktop computer that was old and desperately needed to be put out to pasture. The ASUS is more than adequate for my needs and has replaced my old desktop. The ASUS was easy to set up and is easy to use. So much faster than my desktop was. Going from Win 8.1 to Win 10 has been a learning curve, but I am getting there. Just an FYI, this laptop does not have an ethernet port so I purchased an adapter to plug my ethernet cable into the USB-C port. I would definitely recommend this laptop.

    I bought this laptop for work to replace my old HP which was pretty much going kaput. I'm a Freelance illustrator and needed a portable laptop that could run heavy programs like Photoshop and premiere pro. Almost right after I received this laptop I had blue screen issues with it. I took it to geek squad and they weren't able to figure out why it was blue screening and therefore was never fixed. A few other people think it might have gotten too jostled during shipping or that there's just an issue with the windows installation. The error codes are all different when it blue screens. But beyond the constant blue screens, I should have invested in a desktop system but at the time I needed a good laptop right away to replace an old one that was running too slow for work. This laptop works but the blue screens are annoying and I'm going to have to take it somewhere to be looked at again more thoroughly in order to fix it a.k.a I need to spend more on it to make it run properly which makes me wish I looked at a desktop system. But here we are. However, it should have never had this problem to begin with and I can't send it in to the company since I need it for work. So I can't in good faith leave a good review on this laptop with the issues it's giving me the moment I got it. Runs fast but is defective.
