Great for the price

(edited again) After 3 months of use these are my impressions. So far so good so impressed with this product even after 3 months of use. My model is with AMD Ryzen 4700u. Body: The laptop is aluminum and very durable, I would say it's really good for the price. I wish it had more colors as this black is matte and attracts fingerprints. And the 360Β° hinge is also very good. Port: The port selection is good 2 regular USB (USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 2), HDMI port, 1 USB Type-C port, headphone jack, Kingston lock and charging port. I want USB Type-C to support charging (it doesn't support charging and the display port is data only). Display: This is fine for most users, and for my use it's really good. It covers 60% SRGB (if your photo or video editor needs 100% SRGB, choose others). The panel itself is good and has a decent brightness for my use, I usually keep it at 35%. And the touchscreen and touch response are very good. Performance: My model is equipped with an AMD 4700U processor and the performance is very high. It's so good, whatever you do, it can be handled very well. And the fan noise is quiet for normal use, and when you do heavy work, the fan noise will increase but it is under control. [(update) Even if you do light things like reading pdf or light things, the fan turns off completely. So it is very quiet for low-noise users.] MyAsus app has a performance fan mode that increases fan speed and noise for performance mode. For gaming I don't know, I haven't really used it for gaming but it can handle some games. I think at least from internet I saw that it has similar performance to Nvidia Mx 150. One slot is expandable. Out of the box, it comes with a 4GB + 4GB expandable variety. It can be upgraded up to 16GB of RAM, so it can handle 20GB in total. And that's one of the best reasons to go for it. Storage: 512 GB SSD, fast and even expandable. Battery: (Update) Now after driver update and Windows update. light products, it may take up to 12-14 hours. This is a big change after the updates. So now you don't have to worry about charging anymore. And the charger is very compact, the 45W charger is small and fits in any pocket. Wi-Fi Card: My model comes with Intel Wi-Fi 5, which is good. And if you want, this can also be retrofitted. This laptop has so many user-replaceable parts, which makes it the best for customers, even if you don't need an upgrade, it can come in handy for future needs. Trackpad: The good tracking is very good, but the key isn't great, at least for my taste Keyboard: The keyboard is good, backlit. And it has a very decent hub and I like shortcuts in function keys and you can change it if you want to use function keys (eg: f1) by just pressing FN + Esc and it shows a little LED color, when it is in the function key. Mode in the FN key. The only negative I would say is that the "Enter" key is a bit smaller than on a typical laptop. Camera and Mic: Not bad, not bad, it's a typical laptop camera, but the mics are surprisingly good. Speakers: The speakers are good. . Just go to the Audio Master app and change it to Movies. This literally makes the speakers look really good. Pen: I'm no pro, but for my usual note-taking use it was fine. And it comes in a box. Security: It has a fingerprint sensor and is very fast and also supports Windows Hello. Verdict: (Updated) This laptop is priced at $699 for an AMD Ryzen 4700u. He weighs everything on the price. And value for money 10/10. The only downside is the stock of the product, it just runs out so quickly. Otherwise, it must be one of the popular laptops. For those trying to buy this laptop. My advice: always check the product page as sometimes it suddenly appears in stock.
