Review on 15.6" Laptop ASUS X515JA-BQ2024W 1920x1080, Intel Core i3 1005G1 1.2 GHz, RAM 8 GB, DDR4, SSD 256 GB, Intel UHD Graphics, Windows 11 Home, 90NB0SR1-M02PX0, gray by Adam Czajkowski ᠌

It all started with the installation of Windows itself (for accuracy, I installed a clean image of Windows 10 Pro, from an off site, a license), namely, with the installation of drivers. They were neatly built into the hard drive as a separate partition. By the name of the archive, it became clear that they were aimed at a different version of the laptop, but I didn’t see anything strange in this, perhaps they have a similar filling. 1) But immediately from the threshold I ran into a problematic WiFi - it worked every other time. It literally completely disappeared from the laptop, and after a reboot it reappeared as if nothing had happened. 2) Next, it was an incomprehensible service that served for the correct operation of the proxy, but because of which it was impossible to work on a laptop. Not only did it take up about 30% of the processor, it also "turned off" some functions of Windows (search, start, stupidly did not open). Somehow turned it off, which did not entail any trouble and continued to use the computer. 3) Henceforth, the sound began to fly over WiFi. It just disappeared as if it didn't exist at all. Only at that moment the idea came to me to find drivers specifically for this version of the laptop. And hallelujah, this solved those two problems once and for all. I have no idea why it was then necessary to add these built-in drivers if they work somehow. 4) And finally, after a couple of weeks of use, my laptop decided to just "break". It all started with a blue screen and the inscription "Preparing Windows. Do not turn off the computer", and it lasted forever. After searching for an answer on the Internet, I decided to simply force shutdown the laptop, which led to even more problems - now it was endlessly loaded on the Asus initial splash screen. In every possible way I tried to restore the system, but some kind of error constantly got out, and only a whole day later, when the power of the laptop ended from constant loading, he suddenly decided to "rethink what he had done" and earn without consequences. On the PC I use the same image and no similar problems arose. Maybe I just have hands from one place.
