Excellent Laptop for everyday use
Likes:
- Excellent bootup time with new NVME SSD. Measured it, just took 5.8s. ASUS claims that there is an additional 2.5” SSD slot which is empty, but I haven’t verified it
- Free upgrade to Windows 11 (some people don’t like Windows 11, but I wholeheartedly took the free upgrade)
- Bundled with MS Office 2019 Home & Student. What more a student would require?
- Full HD crisp screen resolution. Great for viewing at 125% scale.
- Great keyboard and buttery smooth trackpad with an in-built Fingerprint scanner.
- Lovely grey color
Dislikes:
- Horrible camera quality. Definitely recommend an additional Logitech webcam
- Not for Gaming. AMD graphics is good only for light gaming.
- Fan noise is audible, but I have it on an external laptop fan table. So tolerated.

Simply WOW.
At this price point, this is one of the best laptops. Performance is faster, lightweight, and also looks great. I have another laptop with the same screen size. Because of the comparatively smaller bezels on this laptop, this looks very small. Impressed with the performance. No lagging. I am usually not a fan of Windows but I am not feeling any slowness (maybe because of the faster SSD) on this laptop so I am kind of liking it. 😁 Also it provides a decent battery backup and performs well even if it is not plugged in.

Great One from Asus!
Nice product! It’s superfast, has average camera quality, the screen is good.
It has 8gigs of RAM, 2gigs of graphic memory (RX vega 3), a fast processor, 256gigs of memory which is enough if you don’t want to install big files/games in it.
PS: Good for programming!
It can handle software that requires graphic memory decently (I’ve tried playing old games like nfsmw 2005, gts vc and San Andreas which ran smoothly, storage problem may occur if you will try to install too many at once, so keep a check on it)
Also, software like Android Studio, AutoCAD 2022, Unity 3d, and Unreal Engine 4 run smoothly on it.
GTA 5 can run on it too at low settings smoothly but the heating issue will pop up then!
The battery is good(can run up to 6-7 hrs if not doing heavy gaming or similar work, 2-3 hrs if gaming /using heavy softwares continuously.
Overall, a good laptop!

Overall a good budget laptop for office work
I liked the compact and lightweight design and overall it’s a good budget laptop for office work and daily usage.
Cons :
I didn’t get the micro sd card port in my product I don’t know why because in the specifications there are but didn’t get it.

Overall pretty good
Initial use tells me that max volume is quite inadequate for a laptop

The touchpad stopped working on the first day and the screen quality is bad
Not worth buying. The touchpad stopped working on the first day. Screen resolution is not good. The suggestion is to look for other products with the same price range. Trying my first ASUS laptop but sure will not buy it again in the future.

Not suitable for even day-to-day basic needs like browsing and using MS Office
I bought this on 5/Dec/2021. Been a laptop user for ages. On the Amazon portal, the specs looked great and seems to fit basic needs. Upon trying it out I found that the two major issues with the laptop that outweighs a certain plus.
1) Very Poor Screen Quality. Does not meet the needs of even basic users. Colors fade even if you tilt by 5-10 Degree. Nothing to say about contrast as I could not feel it at all. Brightness adjustment is there. But nothing much can be done. It claims to be a 220 Nits screen. Does not seem to be really so.
2) Webcam quality is horrible. It is like having a VGA camera from an old Nokia cell phone. The main reasons for me to choose the laptop were 14” size, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD. I took screen quality and Camera for granted as I thought a Company like Asus will not falter there. But, it is the worst product. Don’t go for it.

Poor camera quality and less RAM than expected
This laptop is actually good. It’s fast due to the AMD processor and SSD. Don’t want to include RAM because it says 8GB RAM but usable is only 5.96GB. Very disappointed about this and please don’t ask about the camera. It’s the worst. Rest everything is good. Lightweight, good battery life, good display but I seriously don’t understand why the camera is so poor. I recommend connecting your phone rather than using the inbuilt cam

Not worth the money
The camera is worst and the laptop started hanging just for a week’s usage and the booting is fast in the first 2 days later it took some lag in booting. Overall it is not worth the money.
