Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

What can I say - a vigorous workhorse. But, by the way, fans of WoT Blitz will have enough of it. GTA V at ultra-low, in Full HD gives out 30-50 fps, which is quite playable. Back to business questions: - The processor is really powerful. Keeps 4GHz in boost, but on condition that only 1 core is loaded. All cores accelerate to 4GHz, but just as quickly lose frequency and stop at the nominal 3GHz. The decrease in frequency occurs with an increase in temperature. But it's not a bug, but a feature. - 8 GB of RAM - for the eyes, if you work with a browser, some kind of printer (Word, Writer). You can even work with raster images, in Paint. Net or Photoshop, if they are not very large. - No complaints about the SSD. For now. Apart from volume, perhaps. I plan to upgrade to 480 or 512GB. - The screen is bright. It was possible to increase the refresh rate to 73Hz. Feels nicer, more expensive. - Autonomy pleases. All thanks to modern iron. Up to 8 hours if you play movies or read something at medium-low brightness. And up to 4 at maximum brightness and average CPU usage. - I was surprised by the presence of a sixth generation Wi-Fi adapter (8022022ax) in the laptop. A laptop with a vision for the future - Another nice bonus, in my opinion, bringing this laptop closer to the ThinkPad series is the keyboard backlight. From pros to cons: - Screen. Despite all the brilliance and brightness - light at the edges catches the eye. And quite noticeable on a black background. - "Cheap" case. The paint is flimsy. There are no "elastic bands" on the lid to protect the case from damage when the lid is closed. That is, instead of rubber bands - plastic. After six months of not very active use, scratches began to appear around the perimeter of the lower part (where the keyboard is). Regarding the installation of Windows 10 and the difficulties. The thing is that you will need a USB mouse (it is possible without it), and, of course, an SSD driver from the official site. About the mouse. ASUS, for such laptops, puts a wired mouse in the kit๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜€

Pros
  • Price. Performance. Build quality. Display (but not all, details below). Relevance. The presence of a damper for a webcam, a curtain (for many, this option will be very useful).
Cons
  • Difficult installation process of Windows 10. Uneven display backlight (glare). The presence of only two "full" USB-A ports.
