the battery is really amazing, but I haven't reached 12 hours like the others say in the comments section

I am so torn with this laptop. It is so close to being my perfect daily driver, but there a few conveniences missing, that constantly remind me of what it could have been. Believe me, I am not going back to my old laptop, but I still miss it (sometimes). Lets start at the beginning - the unpacking. Well for me at least it was a game of Russian dolls, with boxes within boxes. At the 4th level of my box-ception, I finally laid eyes on the laptop itself, and its more striking in person, than it looks in the pics. The texture, design and shading on the lid, oozes class, and as soon as you pick it up, the lightness combined with the rigidity of the body gives it the premium feel. Apart from the laptop there is just the wall charger in the box - nothing else at all. At least for me, the 1st start wouldn't happen without the charger plugged in (even though when the laptop started it already had close to 60% charge). No biggie. What was a bit frustrating was the setup process, I am not sure what went on with the Windows updates (if the laptop came with a really old release version), but it took about 50ish minutes to finish downloading and installing the updates. When you have a new gadget you want to get your hands on that 50 mins (already too long) feels like days. Once done with the setup process, you can finally enjoy the laptop in all its glory, and boy is it glorious. Its deceiving how such a thin form factor nowadays, can be so powerful. It of course handles all your web browsing, video streaming you throw at it. I have also been able to run light NodeJS servers on it, and its handled it like a champ. It also comes with pretty decent IO - with 2 USB Cs on the left side (both capable of power delivery), 1 full sized HDMI on the left side, 1 3.5 mm audio jack on th left side (hallelujah) and a full sized USB A port on the right side. The OLED screen is beautiful, and it supports variable refresh rate, and auto dimming. The keyboard is great to type at, and I did not need a second of training to get my fingers used to it, except of course the missing right ctrl key. My hand often goes to that key to use as a shortcut for clicking on links and opening them in tab, and with this keyboard I end up opening the Co-pilot :(. I can honestly say I have opened co-pilot maybe 10 times and only 1 was on purpose to "check it out". So, muscle memory needs to be curated to only use the left ctrl key now. Since we are on the nitpicking part of this review, here goes the list - No fingerprint scanner - I was just so used to swiping my thumb on my old laptop to sign in. I am NOT comfortable with using camera based Windows Hello. Since we are talking about cameras, I also miss the physical built in shutter on my old laptop camera. Sure there is a keyboard shortcut that in theory disables the camera. But in the world we live in the comfort a physical barrier gives me, the red light does not. There is an LED backlight on the keyboard which is great, but even the minimum brightness is too much in the night. Last but not the least - something very close to my heart, is the lack of expandability with this laptop's RAM. I love that option on all my previous laptops and have always added another stick in to double the laptop's capacity. But in this laptop the RAM is soldered on. I don't think I am fully ready for this new world where we are stuck with the RAM that we bought the laptop with. But that's it, even with all of my complaints and rants, I still cannot give it up and go back to my old laptop. The sleek form factor and the reduced weight, combined with the 16:10 screen ratio is more than good enough for almost everything I do on a daily basis. Its a definite recommendation as long as you know what you are getting.

Great laptop. It has lots of great features and is so light.

Solid Laptop. Fast and smooth. I just think if you have the $ to save for a slightly larger and better specs, it might be worth it. It did, on occasion, have a few delays, hiccups and I haven't installed a single program top it. Not sure how it will hold up when I do. I've had a Samsung PC (FIrst Gen Notebook) and it's still a beast, but it has a weasley 256GB storage. I needed something with 1 TB. May return., not sure yet.

Excellent battery life and screen quality. Very lightweight

It is a good computer for the price! I can work or play without any problem.

Excellent computer, fast, beautiful and light. For 5 these only more USB ports, SD card reader and fingerprint reader were missing.

Super nice laptop, sleek, high resolution, and light.

Lightweight and long battery life. The touch screen is good. The main drawback is the speakers.

I like this laptop so far!! It is slim in size and lightweight!!

Had to replace screen in about 9 months of purchase. The PC has random issues, not sure if it's windows that's acting up or it's the pc

My Mom needed a new laptop, and liked her past Asus ones, so I bought her this one. It's everything she needed and wanted, and so far, I have heard no complaints.

Works excellently, no complaints. Extremely light and thin.

Very good and compact computer, highly recommended.

Purchased after breaking my old Asus laptop. Love it!

It has been a good compact 14 inch laptop and light weight. Highly recommend this for your daily compact unit.

Nice work laptop, the oled screen is so good. Sound not the best but still good. Battery life is good.

Overall the processor is fast and very convenient to use the touch screen. It looks also great. But i have some problem of screen flickering after somedays. Now I sent it for repair.
