    Beautiful design, fantastic display and an extremely fast processor. I’m very pleased with this purchase. The only dislike is the small number pad and the short battery life.

    "Budget" Specs but Low-Level Performace

    I was initially attracted to this device as a result of the slightly more than average ram and generous storage size. I figured, coupled with the notorious speed of the AMD Ryzen chip, this had to be a worth-while purchase. I was wrong. While this computer handled super light tasks well, it struggled to keep up when multitasking. And not heavy multitasking like 3D rendering combined with light simulation gaming or trading. The computer would black out randomly if I opened more that 3 chrome tabs. Yes, I am aware of the ram-chugging beast that the chrome browser can be, but three tabs?? That's minimum I would want to have open in any study session or for media consumption. This computer's fans immediately run upon startup and the trackpad is frustratingly clicky in a way that hinders it's overall use. If I wanted to use a mouse in my portable workstation, I would've spent this money on a desktop unit. And that's exactly what I ended up doing. I returned this unit within two weeks and will likely never consider buying an Asus again. I would like to note I purchased this "open box, excellent" so this may account for some of the issues it had. Regardless, this unit should not have been sold in the condition i revived it, though it was, outwardly, flawless. Overall, I can't recommend this laptop, nor can I recommend purchasing "open box" from Best Buy.

      Dear Adora

      Do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused you if you experienced performance issues with the laptop.

      On the contrary, lots of satisfied customers, having positive experience using the product, will agree with me that the unit is a decent system that is perfect for running popular computing applications, without compromising system stability and performance with 3 or more browser tabs opened. Just ensure chipset driver is current and Windows is always updated and the laptop has access to a working and stable internet service or connections.

      Should you need further assistance with other ASUS products, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you can speak to an ASUS live support agent at http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.

      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

    The laptop is terrific. The specs are amazing especially for the price. The laptop is solid for business and school use. The keyboard is crisp and responsive. The screen resolution is amazing. Everything just works terrific. No keyboard backlight (if important to you).

    This computer is super speedy, comes with a great hard drive, plenty of ram, great feeling keyboard, and is super light but durable. I love it and who cares if the description says it's got a back lit keyboard. It's not a big deal at all as I've had two computers before this one that didn't have light up keyboards. It's not worth putting 1 star reviews over.

    This laptop performs excellently while the charger is plugged in. The moment the charger is unplugged the screen dims to about a fifth or less of the brightness making it impossible to use the laptop as a portable device. I reluctantly returned it to Best Buy. This laptop will function well as a desktop, takes up little space on a desk, and much better value than some of the all-in-ones. I would recommend this as a desktop.

    I mostly needed it for my digital art, so the Ryzen 7 works amazing! It's a huge, heavy laptop, but for the price, definitely worth it! Only con is the battery loses juice quickly, but for the programs and apps I run, it's expected.
