greediness on the part of Asus in any and all matters pertaining to giblets:
What was the point of soldering four gigabytes onto the board? Who has a use for them? What stopped you from making it to the second slot? However, 8 gigabytes may also be soldered, and although this would result in a more expensive product, it would be slightly superior.
- What a joke, there's just one expansion slot, which means you'll either have to leave it empty or waste 4 gigabytes on anything foolish.
- Two (TWO!) PCI-E lines are required for each M.2 port, and the CPU already has enough lines. What in general? What kind of childishness is this?
- fig SSD, this is Intel 660p, on QLC memory, they put it there just for fun and to sell illiquid assets, also for replacement, although someone lives with it, I won't risk it. Also, they put it there for replacement.
- no SATA cable to add a SATA 2.5 drive. Additionally, there are no fasteners for it, although there is a location for it to go. This issue can be remedied with the use of adhesive tape (fasteners) and Ali (flex cable), neither of which is very pricey but is rubbish.
- The screen has a glossy finish in the OLED version, which is the same as mine, and there are no further customization possibilities. You are entitled to every highlight. The IPS model is supposed to feature a screen that reduces glare, but I haven't had the opportunity to check this out for myself; nonetheless, it's likely that this won't be an issue.
