Ive only had this laptop for a day and i got the laptop “very good - used” so take this as you will, but i was very excited for this laptop and planned on using it for schoolwork, writing, making music, and other various things. My initial (unfortunately negative) thoughts are:it runs slower than i was hoping. It has some struggle running multiple browser tabs and applications  open at the same time. Snd by applications i mean literally just files, two different browsers with 3-4 tabs each, and settings. I will admit however this may be my wifi, and that the finger print login is very quick.It has a poor battery time. 30% battery while running two separate browsers with a few tabs each took around 43 minutes to dry out my battery while unplugged.The mousepad is honestly just super bad, its oddly dodgy, sensitive, loud to click, and it struggles with tapping it to click on things.It doesnt have a lot of space. On first bootup, you have about 80-90 GB of free space.The power cord sucks, its an outdated power port and the cord is relatively short. Im happy with the range of other power ports it has however.The screen is weirdly desaturated and light.The speakers are decent.In my opinion it just looks kind of bad. The logo itself has a cool radius effect to it, but I'm not a fan of the ASUS logo as it looks outdated, and honestly so does the rest of the computer. It looks like a thinner 2008 laptop and its definitely not my style. Also, make sure you understand just how wide 15 inches is, as its definitely larger than most laptops one would use for school and portability. conclusion: i got this laptop for $250. Id say its worth $250. Not much more or less. It’s not as portable and beautiful as other laptops. Its lowkey ugly and It somehow feels super bulky for being a relatively thin laptop. Id say look for a different laptop. But it depends on what you’re looking for.
