This is my first personal laptop however I have used a school one, family one and different computer at home. This computer runs way faster and smoother, has plenty of storage, looks gorgeous and weighs like maybe 5lbs! I absolutely love it. Now I'm no tech person however I did a lot of research and plan to use this computer for college/schoolwork and basic games. Camera quality is low so I would not use for creating videos, however for me personally the camera does not matter. The only issue is that I am unable to figure out how to brighten the backlight on the keyboard, so it is difficult to see during the day. At night it is great, so if you are someone that tends to look at the keyboard when typing maybe get a different laptop or be able to figure out how to turn up the brightness. (Because I haven't found a way). overall, definitely a 5-star review. I love Asus way better than HP or Dell and recommend an intel core processor of an i5 or above. Great computer for us not so techy people that want a great laptop for a cheaper price but not get a trashy cheap one.
