Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

In summary, there are some issues, although they are not severe. The laptop isn't terrible, but it also doesn't merit a five. 1) Display: I didn't see the allegedly "bewitching image" created by ASUS. Only eye strain: gamma or saturation are insufficient. There is no rejection, yet it is strange nonetheless. Perhaps I'm just accustomed to something different. Settings can be changed. 2) The display angles appear to be good, however a minor departure tends to result in subtle contrast variations. 3) There is only one USB-3 input. Although there is Type-C, the laptop cannot be charged via it for some reason. Internet access is only through Wi-Fi because there is no LAN port. 4) The least expensive, least satisfying material for the keys is plastic. Yes, as well as on the laptop itself. But at least it stays clean. 5) The keyboard arrangement might be improved: -Many keys, including "", "arrows," "," "left ctrl" (changing it - what is it even?! ), and the entire Numpad, have drastically different sizes. - An awkwardly placed power button. 6) In addition to the system's default settings, a ton of unneeded trash was installed. The SSD only has 128GB of storage. There is hardly much left after deducting 30–40GB for the system and fundamental programs. However, in theory, another SSD is an option. But in order to preserve room, I had to delete everyone and everything. Regarding the pluses, there isn't anything noteworthy to mention; perhaps everything is obvious. Is that in reference to the Nvidia GeForce MX130 video card? She received a delightful surprise. WoT on SD client, 1366x768 (maximum) resolution, "basic" column, medium settings (the rest are off). In the city, we receive 90–120 fps. The laptop begins to buzz like a hair dryer at the same moment. We activate the default graphics and vertex syncing. (triple on is also feasible) and we obtain a steady, pleasant 60 frames per second, a laptop that doesn't buzz too much, no brakes, and 60–70 degrees on the CPU and GPU (by the way, the keyboard didn't heat up). SSD was not in danger when it warmed up to approximately 50. Having a laptop stand would not be unnecessary. While maintaining modest graphics settings, play comfortably. I haven't attempted high ones because I don't want the laptop to overheat, particularly the SSD. The laptop is not spectacular, but it is decent for the price.

Pros
  • slender and light. Even while under load, quiet. The system functions without any issues thanks to the SSD. surprising gaming performance compared to other laptops in this price range (thanks to the graphics card). Large touchpad with discreet buttons. "fn" and the "caps lock" light indications are convenient. Because there is no PWM in the display, you can safely lower the brightness so that your eyes won't get weary as quickly and the battery will last longer. Though not ideal, cooling is greatly appreciated. The laptop is frigid throughout the duration of the game, only slightly heating up beneath the left hand. Windows 11 support, however I haven't tried upgrading yet. I was unaware that the charge holds well. I maintained it at 100% brightness and used it for work for at least four hours, if not more.
Cons
  • The only significant flaws are the offensive keyboard layout (nearly all keys except letters) and the little SSD (did not look before purchase). Everything else is unimportant. Display: It appears to be clear, but it also seems to cause discomfort to the eyes, possibly because they are not acclimated to it. a subpar set of ports and connectors. Plastic housing and keys are unremarkable. Charger: The thinness of the cable and the size of the adaptor do not evoke feelings of dependability. disgusting (0.3 megapixel) webcam.
