I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I am pleased with the purchase despite the details in the drawbacks (some of which may be absent if Windows is already installed on the laptop). As a consequence, I don't regret, or rather am satisfied, with my purchase. The performance is more than adequate for my games, with the processor not loading more than 40% in games and 99% in video. Of course, ti would be better (and even better 3060, 3070. ), but the difference between the two in full HD is + 10% on average, which isn't very crucial, and the difference in terms of ofcomst was over 10,000.
When it comes time to install Windows, you won't be able to see the SSD in the list of available drives because the manufacturer didn't "report" the driver for it. To install Windows using the driver download point, download the driver (v18.0.4202246_irst_vmd_20h1), unzip it, copy the driver folder to a USB flash drive (you can copy it directly to the main folder of the installation flash drive), and then select this folder in the media selection menu. Images are included here. 
After installing all the utilities and drivers at startup, the system consumes about 4GB out of 8 GB; you can, of course, go into the registry and services (in the autoload of the task manager, it's easy to disable the extra, so it's necessary), but it's easier and morecomrrect to add one more die (I installed Kingston ValueRAM 8 GB DDR4 3200 MHz SODIMM CL22 KVR32S22S8/8). I won't praise or

Pros

Price, aesthetics, in-game performance, and the ease with which the manufacturer-recommended rear cover can be removed (simply unscrew the bolts; there's a video on YouTube) all bode well for the product.

Cons

Not ideal for gaming without headphones due to the volume level (the speakers aren't great, and there's DTS, so you'll need them anyhow). It is recommended to install the ssd v18.0.4202246_irst_vmd_20h1 driver (decided in the comments) prior to installing the operating system on a laptop purchased without an operating system. The issue, but it's fixable, is that the laptop does not start up immediately after waking from sleep or shutting down. The issue can be fixed by manually installing the Intel VGA driver (specifically, Graphic_ROG_Intel_B_V30.020220.9805_24161) or by using the MyASUS application. It appears that ASUS sets a firm deadline for the sale of goods for the seller, as my 10-month warranty period on the asus website begins counting down some period after the date of production (I have 2022-12, I assume 12 weeks 21 years), even though the laptop has already been sold. I'm hoping I won't have to, but if I do, I'll just use Amazon. The keyboard is an obvious drawback that can be named. The keystroke was rather lengthy and sloppy. This is completely subjective and meant only as a comparison to the previous version. Both the ASUS N46VZ and the functioning Macbook have "indistinguishable" keyboards.
