Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent all around laptop. I left the storage size alone as I didn't need more than that, but I did add a stick of Crucial RAM bring the total to 12GB. 4GB is soldered. The screen is an anti-glare which is nice, but it is also a little on the dim side. Build Quality is good, opening the chassis was quick and easy, if you have the correct tools. There are lots of little clips, so just work slowly. Hardware upgrades are all accessible from the bottom, so no need to worry about ribbon cables when removing the bottom plate. The Memory stick has a thermal cover on it that is very stick. Not so hard to remove from the board, but it was a little to sticky for comfort to remove from the RAM module. It was going to stretch to remove and was afraid fixing to new RAM module, may cause issue when putting back on the case, so I left it off. Overall, its a solid machine and very zippy, should last a good long time. This is probably my 10th ASUS PC I have purchased in about 10 years (lead purchaser for small NPO) and they hit the mark for performance and value.
