    At an offer price of $250 it is a good option. Starts fast. Internet browsing and basic apps move quickly without problems. The battery is terrible, it lasts approximately 4 hours. It is plastic but the material looks resistant. 8GB memory but you can add another 16GB. Storage is about 50GB free but can be updated. Screen is not IPS. This model sold by Best Buy comes with a numeric keypad and no fingerprint unlock as seen in the images.

    I bought it for $249. I immediately added 16 GB more RAM taking the total to 24 GB. The current passmark for the CPU (Core I3 1215U) is: 11051. I also could get out of the super-restrictive "S" mode. The matte screen is perfect. This not having a touchscreen is a plus in my opinion. Within a day of making the purchase I found that the price had gone down by $20 at the Best Buy website. Best buy did a price match. At this price, this is beyond excellent value for money. I would like to thank: Best Buy: For the smooth purchase experience and for the price match. Microsoft: For not trying to over-complicate the switch-out from S mode. Asus: For providing extensibility (RAM and M.2 NVMe are upgradable). I have been buying Asus for close to a quarter century and I am yet to be disappointed. There are a few negatives, but I can't complain given how inexpensive this is. Here they go: 1. The laptop feels very plasticky. 2. The keyboard is just about OK. But then again, some keyboards cost as much as this laptop.

    I had gifted this laptop to my brother for his birthday, as sort of a starter gaming laptop. My brother typically prefers games from the early 2000's/2010's, and this laptop performs excellently for this purpose. The laptop itself is shockingly thin, but seems sturdy. The keypad integrated into the touch pad is a nice bonus as well, since most laptops nowadays remove the keypad entirely. For regular browsing/streaming, this laptop also performs very well. My brother has been using it nonstop for a couple weeks now and has only good things to say. My only gripe - and this is more with laptops in general - is that the speakers are just slightly too quiet. Not quiet enough to be a massive issue, but quiet enough to notice when multiple people are in the room or there is another source of sound aside from the laptop.

    Purchased to use for traveling use not everyday use. Great deal for $229 and adding 8gb ram to make 16gb ram. Haven't had any issues running but the panel picture quality could be better (It's TN not IPS). Trying to use WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) has been interesting. Not sure if it's the app or the laptop that causes the app to close sporadically but otherwise a happy purchase. If just using to surf web this is a great laptop for that. The battery life could be better but maybe I'm pushing it too hard? I just leave it plugged in while using.

    This laptop is awesome for being an ultralight laptop. it is very snappy and fast. the 12th gen i3 is powerful but yet energy efficient. at this price point, you would usually end up with laptops that are celeron, chromebooks, etc. this is a full fledge 1080p laptop. easily able to upgrade rams and ssd. great for light use. the screen isn't eye candy but what do you expect?

    This is a great laptop if you need a basic computer. I am a 1st year college student and this is perfect for working on papers for school. I use it so I am not stuck at my desk for hours at a time. It is not heavy or bulky the size of perfect to put in my backpack and take it with me if I need to go outside for some fresh air or go to the coffee show for a change of scenery.

    I needed a windows computer to run some video software and this inexpensive laptop came in to save the day. For the pricepoint it is very easy to use and set up and can handle all my basic tasks including using programs like Canva and Microsoft Office.
