Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

To sum up, it has some minor flaws but nothing major. The laptop isn't terrible, but it doesn't impress me enough to give it a 5. As for the screen, I did not experience the "bewitching image" that ASUS claims to have created. Merely eye fatigue; more saturation or gamma is needed. It's odd, but there's no outright rejection. Maybe I'm simply not used to this kind of thing. Adjustments can be made. 2) The viewing angles appear to be satisfactory, but with even minimal movement, noticeable contrast shifts occur. No additional USB inputs, 3, ports. There is a Type-C port, but they are unable to power the laptop. No local area network (LAN) connection is available. E. Just Wi-Fi connectivity is available. 4) The plastic used for the keys is the least expensive option but also the least desirable. In addition, on the laptop itself. On the plus side, it won't get soiled. Five) The keyboard layout might use some work: -The "," arrow keys, "," "left ctrl" (changing it - what is it at all?!), and the entire Numpad are all significantly larger than the surrounding keys. The placement of the power button is awkward. (6) Added a bunch of useless extras to the setup (in addition to the general standard from the system). The SSD only has 128GB of space. Once you deduct 30–40GB for the operating system and minimum software, you won't have much space left. But, another SSD might be purchased in theory. Yet in the interest of efficiency, I had to get rid of everything and everyone. There's nothing particularly noteworthy to highlight about the benefits; perhaps it's already obvious. Is that related to the Nvidia GeForce MX130 graphics card? The unexpected good news made her happy. World of Warcraft on the SD client, medium "basic" settings (the rest are off), and a resolution of 1366x768 (maximum). In the city, we average 90-120 frames per second. Simultaneously, the laptop emits a buzzing sound reminiscent to a hair drier. We activate the default graphics and vertical settings. Sync. (triple-on is also feasible) and we get a steady 70 degrees Celsius on the CPU and GPU, no lag, and 60 frames per second (by the way, the keyboard did not heat up). SSD's temperature was at 50 degrees, so it was fine. It's not unnecessary to have a laptop stand. Relax while still playing, but turn down the visual quality. As I don't want to damage my laptop by letting it get too hot, I haven't experimented with high settings. In conclusion, the laptop is adequate, if not fantastic.

Pros
  • Slim and not too heavy. Silent under pressure. The system operates faultlessly because to the SSD. As compared to comparable laptops in its price range, the gaming performance (thanks to the graphics card) is surprisingly high. A sizable, well-concealed touchpad. Light indications for caps lock and function keys are quite helpful. As the screen doesn't use pulse-width modulation (PWM), you can safely reduce the brightness to save battery life and prevent eye strain. The air conditioning isn't flawless, but I'm still satisfied. Just the area under the player's left hand gets warm during gameplay, and even that area only minimally. Compatibility with Windows 11, however I haven't upgraded to it. I didn't even realize the charge was still going strong. I used it for at least 4 hours while working in an office at maximum brightness.
Cons
  • The only real issues are the small size of the SSD (I didn't check this before buying) and the horrible keyboard layout (nearly all keys except letters). Visuals appear crisp, but some viewers may experience discomfort until they adjust their eyes. Poor quality ports and connectors. Keys and a case made of unremarkable plastic. The charger's small cord and bulky adaptor make it seem unsafe to use. Sickening live webcam (0.3mp).

I put the laptop 9 out of 10. I did not expect that I would like it so much. I work for him every day. I recommend to buy.

For working with office programs and watching videos, that's it.
