    Opened the box and within about 5 minutes was running Windows. Quick transfer from my usb drive. Design is compact, slim and very light. Nice design of the screen hinge folds to create a better angle. Screen itself is extremely pleasant to look at for extended periods. I use the computer for all of my Zoom classes for 6 plus hours a day. Battery life typical with extended video use -2 hours. But when surfing without video or working on documents can go up to 3 / 4 hours yes it is made of plastic but honesty it is fine. It is fast with the SSD and 7 processor and with the 17.3 screen you get a very nice large image.

    This seems to be a fast reliable laptop so far but there is not a back light for keyboard which is very annoying when that is what I purchased! Why does the description say there is a backlight? I'm not sure if I want to return it yet or not.

    I found myself having to replace a laptop without much notice. Research showed this to be a good choice. I have had it about a month, and I LOVE it. It could not have been easier to set up for initial use, and transferring files worked perfectly from drive to drive. It starts up from power off within about 15 seconds, and it processes large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. I've never had an ASUS product before, and so far, I am a very satisfied customer.

    Decent Performance, bad keyboard and USB-C

    The performance is decent and the monitor is really good, for the price. I cannot get over the keyboard layout, and lack of [Best Buy advertised] backlighting. If you are planning on docking and using a conventional keyboard it would be fine, but then you need a separate monitor attached. USB-C port - Best Buy says USB-C, ASUS marketing says USB-C 3.2, ASUS manual says USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C. I still have no idea what this port does, but it doesn't work with my new ASUS monitor. It is impossible to use the keyboard in the dark. The dark grey labels on light grey keys only works in bright light. The <page up> and <page down> by delete key in top row, not by arrow keys. There is no difference in key spacing by the delete key to help guide where to put your fingers, so I generally cannot find the misplaced <page up> and <page down> keys without turning on a light. Not sure if ASUS or Lenovo are right, but (<ctrl> and <fn> keys are opposite, so when I switch between my work and personal computers I am constantly missing <CTRL> functions. The touchpad often misinterprets a single finger click (left mouse) as dual finger (right mouse), bringing up right click menus. The only remedy is to click somewhere else onscreen, then go back to what you clicked on and hope it will take the left-click.

      Dear M712DAOwner,

      Indeed, the laptop does have the performance needed to run popular applications without compromising speed.

      USB-C does have different versions and to learn more about the technology, please do an online search.

      Since the laptop doesn't come with a keyboard backlit, it is recommended to use it in a well-illuminated workspace. With it's layout, please allow some time to get familiarized.

      The touchpad a smart device, please allow some time to get use to its multi-touch function features. In order to improve the touchpad responsiveness and stability, please ensure Windows is always up to date. If you are accessing web applications, please verify if the laptop has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since this will affect the responsiveness of the touchpad.

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

      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

      Regards,

      Rodel

    I gor this computer to replace and old HP as a general purpose computer. I use it for a combination of programming, web surfing and audio file processing. It excels at all. While this uses a last generation Ryzen processor, it is very fast. In processing very large (10GB+) audio files, it is about 4 times faster than my 9th generation i5.
