I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Briefly: Great car for every day for any task. So good that you don't want to spend a single on anything else. About the shortcomings at the very bottom. More voluminous: Serving more than 7 years Asus N56 began to become obsolete. The old man showed himself perfectly for all the years, although he was little mobile. Therefore, in the search for a universal replacement machine, the choice was not great - Asus G15, Asus G14 or Razer blade, which is not sold in the 2022 and has no warranty. I wanted to get a performance margin for several years and autonomy, in which you do not need to carry a brick in the bag in the form of a power supply. And with them a mouse and wires. High-quality screen and strict design, without poor backlighting. What can I say - the device is light, with an excellent screen, performance and autonomy. You can not write about the bangs in the screen, the overall design or magsafe - all this is a matter of taste and, by and large, is not so important. Not everyone will use even objectively useful hdmi and card reader ports every day. What was noticed - after a standard working day in the office from 9 to 18, more than 35% of the charge remains. And when working under load, you do not need to put the laptop in the refrigerator. If you fully understand why you need this beast, it will pay you back for every spent. And if you are also a geek, you will be delighted with the hardware. You get used to the keyboard with the missing "numpad" keys in 2 days. Is it worth it to pay extra for additional memory on an SSD or a version with two extra. cores in the CPU and GPU? - No. imho. 05/30/2022: For 4 months of use, there was a lack of paint on the keys - the effect of "Fat fingers" was noticeable, which Alex wrote about in the reviews For me, the moment is not critical and not essential. Also, in almost 5 months of almost round-the-clock use, the battery capacity was reduced to 84.7%. Bad or not, I will not judge :)

Pros
  • Performance, screen, sound, charging via any Thunderbolt, autonomy, convenient touchpad. Unexpectedly comfortable keyboard.
Cons
  • 20% VAT. Thanks a lot.
