Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

The first thing to take note of is the screen resolution, which is 2560 pixels wide by 1600 pixels high (16:10). It does not have the same degree of horizontal stretching as traditional FHD (16:9). The finish of the screen is matte. IPS matrix, but also sufficiently bright and featuring a wide color gamut. I was concerned about the possibility of pixel burn-in because Asus' current product selection is dominated by devices with fashionable OLED displays; nonetheless. I took the laptop with IPS since the primary reason I needed it was to work with programs that included a great deal of static content. The key travel is minimal, the keyboard is very quiet, and it has an illuminated backlight. It worked out extremely well for my schedule. The only drawback is that the arrows are on the small side, which means I'm still getting used to them and frequently missing them. The power button is positioned in the same manner as the other keys, above the backspace, but it is sunken into the body of the device. This makes it less likely that it will be pressed by accident. The touchpad is quite large, and in the upper left-hand corner, there is a fingerprint scanner. On the right, there is a button to switch on the numeric keypad, which is displayed on the touchpad (although the touchpad itself does not lose any of its primary functionality). On board is an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 16 gigabytes of random access memory (RAM), integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, and a 512 gigabyte solid state drive (SSD) manufactured by Intel. There are virtually no chances for upgrades; the memory is soldered directly onto the circuit board, and there are no additional spaces for solid state drives (you can only replace the one that is already installed). However, there is a microSD card reader in addition to three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. If you ignore video games and three-dimensional graphics, the device is fairly quick. You won't have any trouble selecting a network, watching videos, performing the vast majority of office chores, editing images, or working in a variety of integrated development environments (IDEs). Although there are two fans and the exhaust is directed toward the screen, the laptop does not heat up very much because to the fans' rare operation and the low noise level they produce. This laptop comes with a trial version of Kaspersky, Microsoft Office 365, MyOffice, and the MyAsus utility already loaded on it, in addition to the Windows 11 Home operating system. It is not to everyone's liking to use Windows 11, including mine; therefore, it would probably be preferable if it came with Windows 10k with the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 11th. In general, a high-quality, reasonably priced, and transportable functional laptop that is simple to take with you wherever you go.

Pros
  • Compact. Easy. Quiet. Does not become hot in use. Excellent screen. The keyboard is easy to use. Iron that is relatively powerful for its use.
Cons
  • Windows 11, with no upgrade path available.
