Item #1 below is focused on Windows 10 S Mode. I didn’t intend to write so much about S Mode, but I did so and thus it is there for you to consider. The rest of the comments made are about the Asus laptop itself.1.) I find Windows 10 S Mode to be excellent. The more I use it, the more I like it. {I’ve used S Mode on other devices for about 8-months.) You can exit S Mode easily, but I say it is really an awesome and an under rated OS. It virtually blocks malware, period. You can’t tell the laptop is in S Mode unless you try to install something from outside of the Windows Store. Unless you are a gamer or need some special program, S Mode should be considered. It can save you a lot of concern about being compromised by hacking, which is becoming more of a concern of late, especially with the increase in sophistication in attacks from nation states and organized crime. Yep, I’m a techy with an opposing view to the techie press. Seems they mostly trash Windows 10 S Mode, but they rarely seem to articulate the benefits of S Mode. I think Microsoft should do a better job of marketing the OS. Why they don’t is beyond me.I upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro via the Windows Store. I then as an admin joined this device to Office 365’s Intune. I realize the tech world seems to talk down Windows 10 S Mode, but I am a contrarian and think it is outstanding. Also, S Mode requires way less Windows updates than regular Windows so, again, I am a fan. As an admin, I don’t need to concern myself with updates as much. This OS is really hard to compromise.2.) This laptop is an outstanding value for the price. It has and i3 Intel processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD hard drive. Really, this is perfect configuration for the average business or college user. The performance is excellent for what it is equipped with. The i3 Intel chip works a lot better than most people realize. Even running when streaming video, it does well.3.) The display is adequate for business use. If you are a gamer or watching lots of video, it will likely be somewhat disappointing, good displays cost. You don’t usually get something for nothing. Again, the display is adequate for what it is. Although the viewing angles are tight, I’ve seen other reviewers comments about the display and find their comments exaggerated and I wonder what they expect for a laptop that costs less than $500. Let me add that I have worked on a lot of PCs over the years, and I can tell you this display is good, but not great. However, if you want a premium display, like I said earlier, you need to pay for it. Again, this display is good enough for general use.4.) The ports provided are the latest version of each type provided. Again, this laptop is a great value for the cost.5.) The backlit keyboard is really good. I like the feel of the keys, and I like the numeric pad. The keyboard is quiet and comfortable to type on.6.) The laptop’s body/frame. Is plastic. Looks pretty darn good given the price of the unit. However, I am unsure as to how strong the body is should the laptop take a fall. I’m not doing a drop-test on this one because I have pay for it if I break it, but again, the price point of this laptop gives you a pretty darn good device for the price.CONCLUSION: A surprisingly great laptop for the under $500 price charged and will be appreciated by a general or average user. (Suggestion: Keep the device in S Mode and save yourself malware and update headaches.)

If you don’t know anything about computers, don’t write a review speaking about specs. This computer has the 8gb of memory as stated. 4gb on board, 4gb on a stick. That adds up to 8 I think. Snappy little computer. Got it for my 9 year old to do his zoom stuff for school. Thanks libs.Don’t expect it to blow you out of the water, but more than capable at a price point that doesn’t hurt. Highly recommend. This is my first anything but an HP laptop. So far, so good.

Tiene todo lo necesario para una persona que la utilice para estudiar, de oficina, herramientas básicas y demás. El táctil funciona muy bien. El teclado es retroiluminado en blanco, eso es muy bueno. El plástico se siente un poco barato, pero se entiende por el precio que se está pagando. Funciona a la perfección. 10/10

It’s not my dream machine, but it has been the best possible machine I could have hoped for for the price. This is definitely priced appropriately. They did a great job balancing necessity and need. For example, how many people use ethernet in order to connect to the Internet? There is no ethernet port and there’s also no more CD ROM drive. So the price reflects that.. If you want a bargain, you’ve found it. It’s up to you to know how to maximize its potential. I upgraded the ram, and installed a 2TB hard drive because of how much music I use.

I really like this ASUS laptop, runs rings around my 17″ HP I bought last year, screen had to be replaced after accident so spent $1000 in 2 weeks on it. Runs slow which is irritating so bought the ASUS and very glad I did. My grandson is an IT guy and says it’s the best, and it is great quality for a lower end, I have touch screen fingerprint 8gb, really all I need. Didn’t rate gaming as I only play Freecell from Microsoft which is fast. I see color and patterns and freckles I’ve never seen before on my favorite shows and movies. It is clear and beautiful, fast attractive laptop I know will last me a long time, at my age maybe forever. Arrived before schedule easy setup and easy to use. Tilted the screen is very viewable. Only thing better on the HP is they run the sound bar on top under the screen, never had to strain to hear the voice over blaring music they love to put in films. I love watching movies and this screen is smaller but the beveled edges make it larger too for viewing. Very pleased and highly recommend.*****

Ok. Lets talk. No fluff, no fake optimism. Out of all the things I have ever bought on amazon, this purchase was honestly the best. First of all, this laptop exceeded all expectations I had. Like for example, when I saw the laptop for the first time, the screen was sooo much bigger than I anticipated! I love the feeling of the keys. Also, I’m sure you’ve notice there are a lot of reviews complaining about the screen quality. Ok. Here’s the tea sis; the screen is awesome. I’m not seeing anything wrong with it. Those people must be computer experts but for me, there is nothing wrong with it. Also, a big criteria for me was that I could do some gaming. Dude. Literally this laptop is awesome for gaming. It has taken everything that I’ve downloaded so far and is still purring like a kitten. Overall, this is a super good laptop. I totally think you should get it.

This laptop is honestly so far really snappy and fast. As a college student I do papers and sometimes have more than 10-15 tabs open. That being said this computer can keep up with those plus a couple documents open… I haven’t tried gaming however the keyboard is very sleek and it’s honestly like an upgraded macbook keyboard. 10/10 typing. I usually hook up a monitor and keyboard but for this laptop it’s so nice to type on that I don’t… Overall Impressed
