    Excellent handheld, basically improves on all aspects from the first gen including much better triggers and better battery life. Only thing is it's noticeably heavier.

    I like this laptop very much except there is a problem with its speakers. They stop working for some unknown reason. I have to restart the computer to get the speakers to work again. It has been inconvenient during Zoom meetings

    I thought the computer was good, but the backlit keyboard was way too bright even on the lowest setting. I had to close the laptop lid while turning to the backlight down so I didn't blind other people on the airplane. The touchpad could also be better, mechanical just isn't that helpful.

    Design is excellent. The laptop looks beautiful. Speakers are awesome. Screen is nice but very very glossy. Port selection is good. Windows felt snappy overall. Track pad is pretty solid. Battery life seemed okay. The biggest problem was how hot the keyboard and bottom felt when performing heavy tasks. Very hot to touch. Would burn your skin if touching. The fans would run while even watching 4K video on YouTube. This was a turn off for me so I returned the device. Most reviews have the same concerns with the heat so it is not isolated to this unit it is a design flaw across the board.

    I generally like ASUS laptops, but I had a bad experience, actually several, with this one. The first one I bought constantly overheated. GeekSquad tried to repair it but to no avail, so they replaced it. The replacement had a bad motherboard, so that got replaced as well, but with a different brand. The odds of getting 2 bad ones should be fairly low, so maybe there is some issue with this particular model.
