Pros: - Extremely fast CPU compared to intel- expandable RAM to 20gb - decent battery life 6-8hrs easily- upgradable m.2 SSD - very thin, light and portable- 2 in 1 laptop/tablet feature is cool- stylus pen included in box- looks way more expensive than it really is- good for business professionals on a budget- has Radeon graphics processor for light gaming- very quiet and cool under heavy usage. Majority of the time it's silent- thin screen boarder is very cool and minimalistic- 45w charger is fairly quick and very small - the power button will not work when the laptop lid is closed. Great for avoiding accidentally powering on the laptop in your bag. - if your pen gets lost or breaks, cheap replacements exist and are just as good as the original Asus pen. FYI It's the same technology as MS Surface devices.- the hinges feel very strong and sturdy, time will tell if they remain this way.
Cons: - in tablet mode the keyboard and mouse are supposed to be deactivated. From time to time it stops working and can be frustrating. I usually end up rebooting to solve issue.- stylus pen technology is not suited for professional drawing. It works but you are best to spend your money elsewhere.- camera is terrible, but it works- screen is not suited for graphics professionals, look elsewhere for good color accuracy- screen is not very bright, good for saving battery but in an bright outdoor setting you will have difficulty.- screen is glossy. Reflections are annoying- thin boarders are cool looking but can accidentally touch the screen when in tablet mode- metallic body and glass screen is a finger print magnet. - cannot charge laptop with usb-c port- it has two usb-a ports, only one of them is usb 3.1, why does usb 2.1 even still exist today...- stylus pen uses a AAAA battery, a battery size I had never knew existed... it will most likely last a year or two before it dies. But after that, it will be annoying to replace.
Overall Review: - For my needs this machine is perfect- For artistic creators you must look elsewhere, you will be wasting your money. Nothing for you here, sorry.- For business professionals on a budget it's perfect. It's not as flashy like a mac or established like Dell. But it has the look and power to get the job done.- For students it's great value, but if your budget is very tight, you can get by with something cheaper.- For a minimalist looking for a very fast machine in a very tiny form factor and doesn't care about gaming. This the value of the year.- Gamers: if you are feeling the pain of not being able to buy a gpu without having to get another mortgage. You can kinda get buy with this machine. Almost every game works but at very low quality settings. Honestly, I'm amazed how well it can game, considering price to performance.I gave it three stars for good reason. You get so much value for your money with the CPU and GPU in this machine compared to Intel laptops, but if you don't know by now that AMD has made Intel CPUs obsolete, you deserve to get scammed. So I didn't base the score on that. Otherwise it will be an easy 5stars.Laptops need better cameras. We are constantly on zoom or teams these days... Comon Asus... And the keyboard randomly activating in tablet mode is very annoying. usbC charging is something that needs to be standard in 2021. I'm certain world peace can be achieved by using only one charger format.Usb2.1 needs to die. I shouldn't have to guess what version the plug is. I'm harsh but these 4 things should be unacceptable on a new modern laptop and I hope Asus and all the other companies get this with future laptops.
Pros: -2 in 1, and very portable as well as light - Powerful processor making everything way faster and easier -Nice screen and vibrant colors -Comes with a stylus pen which is nice
Cons: - Display is a little dim, around 250 nits at max but if you are only using for indoors then it will not be a problem - Battery life may be an issue since the most I've had was only around four hours only on very light computer tasks
Overall Review: Very good product, I highly recommend for this price and is very fast
Pros: Unit is a well constructed unit with great screen and full featured product. Looked at Hp and Lenovo and higher price and less processor! Newegg came through!
Cons: Have found no shortcomings. Been In computer industry for 40+ years and love this unit.
Overall Review: I got a friend to buy these units. He loves it, too.
Pros: - Very fast CPU - Touchscreen and stylus included.
Cons: - It doesn't turn on when you open the lid, you have to press the power button on the side. - The screen isn't the brightest and also doesn't turn very dim, but otherwise is great for indoors use.
Overall Review: - I wish it used USB-C PD like most my other devices.
Pros: Bigger screen then the 10" tablets Nice processor - much better then the slow Intel equivalents Easy to use as a tablet too
Cons: I wish the keyboard was removable.
Overall Review: Very nice Laptop than can double as a Tablet if you prefer them. I prefer a mouse and Bluetooth keyboard to the keyboard/pad combination. I would recommend this beauty to anyone looking for an AMD machine. The way it's going at AMD right now we all should be looking for one... (Just to be completely open I'm a retired AMD employee!)
Pros: -Looks good -Good performance -Sturdy hinge
Cons: -Bad stylus and/or stylus detection -Fragile plastic border around the screen -Rubber pieces on either side of the trackpad (the area where palms rest) not secured well -Unusual keyboard layout/ arrow keys too small
Overall Review: [UPDATE] After only a year and a half the laptop won't stay on for more than a minute even when connected to wall power. Asus' customer support and repair service were useless. The repair service even sent the laptop back without completely reassembling it. I will not buy another Asus product. [UPDATE] It's a nice laptop but may not be worth it for someone that is looking for a 2-in-1 with a functioning stylus. The stylus detection is awful, it's hard to use the stylus without the screen detecting your hand instead and making annoying mistakes and movements. The border around the screen is fragile. The top right corner cracked off within a couple of weeks of light use. The rubber pieces at the bottom of the keyboard portion of the laptop are barely connected and come out of place from palms rubbing them while trying to type. The MyAsus application included on the laptop is nearly useless for installing drivers. It shows all the newest drivers but doesn't show whether they are already installed or not. If you choose to install them the application won't actually install them, it just downloads them and the user has to be proficient enough with computers to find them and install them themselves.
Pros: it is lightweight fast and user friendly. Looks good. I like the touch screen on a laptop.
Cons: I am not a techy, so it takes me a few tries to understand how everything works. At times it is difficult to get it to start up.I would recommend to it took me awhile to figure how to do a split screen . Not really impressed with the camera. It looks fuzzy when on Zoom, which I use allot.
Overall Review: I would recommend to anyone. Great price and good product.
Pros: -CPU 7nm AMD 4700u 8 Cores - 4.1 Turbo -Screen is enclosed in aluminum -1080p IPS Screen -Backlit Keys -Single Upgradable Memory -Single Upgradable M.2 Gen 2 NVME 2280 Storage if you need bigger -Finger Print Sensor (Forget about the hassle of typing in your password though this is still availble -Lightweight -Could play light games -Quiet and only fan turns on after extensive use of CPU or if you are blocking the exhaust ports.
Cons: -IPS Screen is 250 nit might be a little dark for some users -The laptop comes with only a total of 8gb (4gig soldered + 4gig Sodimm) you can upgrade the sodimm which is the redeeming part.
Overall Review: I highly recommend. Sold my Dell 3495 i5 1035g4 for this and i could not be more happier. I really like the back lit keyboard. The computer became a lot better after I installed a single stick of 16gb Kingston sodimm Memory @CL22 3200mhz. I now have 20gb of memory and totally loving it. I was pushing the ram to the limit until i installed the upgraded 16gb. I am using this for remote work so MS Teams and Office is a total memory hogger. I recommended you upgrade your ram to 12gb - 20gb of ram if you plan to use those apps. 8gb will not cut it.
