Expected more from the purchase, but not the worst option.

- It will do for a beautiful gift, I wouldn’t take it for myself. - With some extra investment and direct hands, you can get a normal result (relatively). - The price, respectively, is too big, considering all this, I took it purely because of the screen. - If someone has a rattling sound, then this may be due to minor assembly flaws, it is easy to solve - disassemble the laptop and see why the speakers are rattling, there are special rubber bands, on the speakers that prevent this, they may have slipped or burst / not installed. - I made 20 gigs of memory by replacing a 4 gig module with 16 gig, although Asus himself writes that a maximum of 16 is not true. At the same time, it works in a two-channel, within the first 8 gigs. I even think that it is also possible to insert a 32 gig module there and it will work, I already had such experience with other laptops, the main thing is to take 3200 MHz memory, a normal brand, not AMD, I took a patriot. - Be careful! This laptop is available in two versions, one with an OLED screen, the second with a regular IPS, the digital index and appearance are completely the same, in the OLED version the word "OLED" should be in the marking after the model number! - In general, as a toy for lying on the couch and scrolling the Internet, watching YouTube / movies - more than,

Pros
  • - Excellent screen, but here I'm only talking about the OLED version, there is also IPS . - Excellent design and appearance - The sound is normal, even good, for a laptop of this size. - Very light and pleasant to the touch - Holds a charge for a long time, especially if you use dark themes and do not mess with the screen brightness. This, again, is only for the OLED version, the IPS version is probably less economical.
Cons
  • Asus' outright greediness, in everything that concerns giblets: - soldered 4 gigs on the board - what for? who needs them? what prevented to make the second slot? Maybe, however, 8 gigs can also be soldered, in more expensive versions, this is a little better . - sobsno, only one expansion slot, in which you will have either empty or stupid 4 gigabytes to throw away. - 2 (TWO!) PCI-E lines per M.2 interface, moreover, the processor has enough lines! What in general? What kind of pettiness? - fig SSD, this is Intel 660p, on QLC memory, they put it purely for fun and to sell illiquid assets, also for replacement, although someone lives with it, I won't risk it. - no SATA cable to add a SATA 2.5 drive. There is also no fasteners for it, but there is a place for it. This problem is solved with the help of adhesive tape (fasteners) and Ali (flex cable), not very expensive, but crap. - in the OLED version (like mine) the screen is glossy and there are no other options, respectively. all highlights are yours. For the IPS version, an anti-glare screen is claimed, but I myself have not seen it, probably there will be no problems with glare.
