Great Laptop Wish the Screen Was Brighter

Its a great laptop for beginner creatives who could only have one computer. Its a budget computer but I chose this over a gaming laptop and I'm glad I did. I wish the screen was brighter but its decent enough. The battery life is good enough, you can get a few hours without the charger but I do recommend you bring it with you because you will need it throughout the day. If you can get a battery pack that can charge the laptop would be a good option, especially for college kids.

Works great as long as your room is well lit. The gray on gray of the keyboard is a major drawback, but the pc itself works well

Nice size, easy set up. Purchased to replace old laptop (Dell-which I loved and used for 7 years). Hope to get as many years out of this one!

The ASUS laptop I purchased has been great! It operates much faster than my old one. After setting it up with some issues, everything has been great. I can really tell my old laptop was on its last legs!

Great value for the price. Plenty of storage memory and speed for what I use it for which is mostly business apps. Lettering on the keyboard is the only negative (too light) but you get used to it quickly. Very fast boot time!

I purchased this specific laptop as instructed for my family overseas. No issues with in-store pick-up and they are happy with the product. It is a great size laptop for work purposes, maybe a little large for frequent travelers.

This laptop is good for work. The 16GB Ram / SSD / Video card / Graphics is acceptable if you want to game. The color/clarity of the display is excellent. The keyboard does not light up and is not an issue for me. The camera is adequate enough for zoom meetings and class sessions. The Microsoft 365 Office Suite is installed, and is not dragging the system down. Multiple web tabs responds quickly due to the SSD drive. Another plus point is that it will upgrade to Win 11. Wireless connectivity is superb. I have machines running and the Quad-4 CPU along with the DDR4 memory is exceeding benchmarks. Very pleased when this is connected to the HDTV. This is my first ASUS purchase and I must say the quality is there.

I like Asus brand products so I had no hesitation in purchasing this low priced value laptop. However, the keyboard is just too difficult to see unless the light is at just the right angle, and it does not have a backlight. The screen also looks bad unless it's at just the right viewing angle with very little margin for error. Perhaps with a docking station, monitor, and external keyboard this would work for me, but I need it for attending business meetings and the poorly visible keyboard and screen are a deal breaker.

No Battery Life (2 hours)

Large screen, but not very bright/vivid. Battery life was terrible. I took a Zoom call outside and the battery died in under 2 hours. I know Zoom uses bandwidth, but a laptop in 2021 should last longer than that. I was on the phone with ASUS running all sorts of tests and updates, but nothing helped. I finally asked, what is the battery on this rated? At best, 2-4 hours. This would be a great desktop computer, but if you want to use it as a laptop, find something else. I returned mine.

Dear AnonymousMermaid,
We certainly understand your concern regarding the short battery charge life.
In order to improve or prolong the battery charged time, please try to do a battery calibration manually. To start with, please drain it completely then charge it fully without using the system. Once fully-charged, please use the system, without the AC adapter connected, and drain it completely again. Please repeat the charging process thereafter. Also, please verify if the unit is running with the most current system update and third-party battery draining applications are not running if not in used.
If you need further assistance, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than glad to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,
Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty
