I've had this for about 4 days. It's fast, it's fairly quiet, and a nice form factor. A pickup truck in a Tux if you will. My biggest gripe is the lack of TB3 in a laptop at this price point. It does have USB-C with PD, and with video; just not Thunderbolt3. I'm not sure what the issue is but after digging in to it, it's common in ASUS' lineup. I've got 2 2+ year old laptops from other vendors with it and quite frankly assumed it was table stakes. Aside from that lack of a part it's solid hardware. Their support on the other hand is a train wreck. Poorly trained agents who's primary goal is to get you out of queue and close tickets. I had to open 5 support cases and finally had to figure the issue out on my own.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
