Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, but it could be better!

Firstly this is the fastest computer I have ever had, after turning on the power button it appears on the login screen before I can make a cup of coffee and sit down, I started it with 5 websites , which are running at the same time, and the task manager settings show low usage and the computer works fine with them. It does everything fast and the computer comes with a bit of bloatware, the case seems well made and the included SSD is Intel. Now for the cons: the hard drive is divided into a small C drive and a large D drive for data. , why not just leave a big C drive? Nothing bad, but some pain. Next, the case is very tight, I added a 3.5 inch drive, but it needs to be mounted on the CD drive bracket, so you have to dismantle the front of the case, remove the CD drive and the new one attach drive. If a 3.5" drive is installed, it is 3/4" away from the CPU fan. I don't understand why manufacturers make these new cases so small, I'm missing drive bays. You will notice from the photos that there is room for another 2.5" drive and room for another fan to be mounted on the back. There's also room for a graphics card on the bottom of the case, although the on-chip video is fast enough for me. Another thing that really worries me is the customer service, they're hard to reach at first and then won't or can't tell me about the possibility of upgrading this PC. This is my second Asus and despite all the minuses I've never had a blue screen or other issues and in general I'll probably buy Asus again.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Update availability
