Review on ASUS Ultra Slim I7 1165G7 Thunderbolt UX425EA EH71 by Keith Montague

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great laptop at this price

I bought this to replace my 7 year old Surface Pro. I wanted a lightweight laptop, WIF6 support, faster USB and WPA3 ports. It meets all requirements. Weighing 2.5 pounds, it's easy to balance on your lap. I mainly use it for web surfing and spreadsheets. The keyboard feels comfortable. The extended battery life is nice as my old laptop needed to be recharged more times than expected. Right now I'm getting about 22 hours on a single charge. I also like the clear monitor (Full HD). It's about the same size as my old LAPTOP but with a larger display. Setup was easy, and after setup, I immediately connected to the internet at WFI6 speeds and using WPA3 security. The only negative I can think of is that I wish they would put a Thunderbolt 4 USB on each side since my outlet is on the right. The backlit keyboard looks good in a darkened room. The bag is a nice addition and protects the laptop. I am very happy with my purchase and would buy it again. This reflected ASUS' attention to detail and quality. I like military strength.

Pros
  • MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability
Cons
  • Very expensive
