Excellent laptop for the price great battery life and fast functions very impressed
Fast Ryzen 5 processor 16 GB RAM 15.6 inch display Great picture
Customer Service in Georgia (Thanks Pamela!) did a great job of answering the few questions that I had. The Asus laptop arrived at scheduled delivery time, Once powered up, it delivered on the specs. It has a very fast SSD and the display is color accurate, vivid and viewable from a wide angle. The Nvidia graphics card makes a huge difference! As a music writer, this laptop will really help me using my DAW software. New Egg delivered a great purchase experience!
It's light, fast and thin. Understand I am not a techy but I had to upgrade my 8.5 year old laptop and my husband and nerdy friends like Asus. It took me hours to narrow it down and I think I made a good choice. The speakers are surprisingly good too!
- Not much junk to uninstall - Easy to open up and install RAM upgrade - Bright screen
It's fast. Used for business, not for gaming to it fits my needs just fine. Compared to other computers it's pretty inexpensive. Not cheap like the bottom of the line Lenovo that you might see at Best Buy that will slow down after a couple of years.
I am finalizing the setup of this machine, as I write this review. Initial impressions: -Lightweight and a plastic chassis; in my use this is a non-issue, although it may not inspire confidence for some users -Satisfactorily fast boot times: the solid state M.2 drives are always nice, IMO -Solid response in the keyboard and integrated mousepad/buttons, although they are also less refined than my one year-ish old HP ProBook. This HP 255-G8 will be a general business work machine (and the occasional movie streaming, etc.). I'm a longtime AMD fanboy and the Ryzen 5s are solid, overall. AMD's Radeon integrated graphics are more than satisfactory for most all purposes (less a gaming rig, in theory), as is the 16 GB RAM. Windows 10/11 work without issue for my purposes and needs.
Like the overall quality of the laptop itself. Like the fingerprint feature as well as the overall dimension of the screen. Also appreciate having the number pad. Fast booting and overall response.
I purchased this laptop for 3 reasons. First, and most important to me was that it had a 1TB PCIe SSD drive. I would never purchase a laptop or desktop with any less storage space because if you plan on keeping the computer for any length of time than you will probably have to upgrade to a larger drive. Also, the fact that PCIe SSD drives are much faster than regular SATA SSD drives. A large drive gives your processor room to work. Second, was the Ryzen 7 5700U processor which according to laptop processor specs ranks up there near the top as it has 8 cores and 16 processors and is even much faster than many of the Intel H class gaming laptop processors. Third, was the free upgrade to Windows 11. I upgraded to Windows 11 right after going thru the startup procedure for Windows 10. I didn't want to miss my opportunity for the free upgrade. I wanted to get accumulated with Windows 11 before I have to upgrade my desktop as I am sure Windows 10 will be phase-out within the next year or so.
This laptop is absolutely perfect. Great price and fast shipping. Thank you.
