Big bang for the buck, with minor caveats
Pros: > Superb internal speakers (even better than many big-brand TV) > Color-accurate display WITH touch > Stylish design > Powerful internals > Smooth touchpad > Thunderbolt3/USB-C > Not hot when using for office stuff > Win10 Pro, can join AD domain at work > Excellent WIFI reception > Fingerprint login > Excellent Mic reception > Bargain price for the spec
Cons: > No kensington lock slot > Key cap is almost opaque to light... backlight somewhat meaningless > ASUS Pen? not included. Wacom pen does not work > Bloatware (as usual, but not that serious) > US-plug only
Overall Review: Concerning the spec overall, much better than DELL XPS 15 while this may be even cheaper. Color-accurate display is difficult to find at any price range. It is not HOT during normal office activity but FAN can be noisy at stock firmware. Somehow Windows Update included a firmware one, which seems improved the fan noise by a large margin. My only problem with it, is the lack of security slot... just like many other ultrabook in recent time. How do I lock it to office desk???
