    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the notebook computer. Some mention that the sound is very good, while others say that the speakers are on the bottom, which sound terrible unless properly set on a hard. The fans are surprisingly loud under light load, and the audio crackles from the day it came out of the box. The laptop had an annoying buzz/distortion noise while playing audio/video, and clicks are intermittent at best.

    "...So you can expect a decent quality sound.4. No heating what so ever...." Read more

    "...The fan is rather obvious in sound, but unless you're watching really quiet video, you won't notice it when it does kick on, usually only above 50..." Read more

    "...Whatever, it works.The audio is excellent, not sure what people are going on about, for a laptop, the sound is rich, bass filled and loud..." Read more

    "...I find clicks to be intermittent at best. The cursor movement tends to hang intermittently (lift finger and move again fixes it.)..." Read more

    "...My only issue, which others have mentioned, is the battery drains very fast when this is not plugged in, it was almost dead after 3 hours...." Read more

    "...One more important point is that the battery life isn't very good. I think roughly two hours with a new battery...." Read more

    Customers are dissatisfied with the touchpad of the laptop. They mention that it is unresponsive and frustrating, and does not work for them. The touchpad does not respond properly to commands, and the click is very hard. There are no tactile clues to where the virtual buttons are, and it can give you headaches. The trackpad problems and poor Linux support also cause issues.

    "...3. Not a great 'Track Pad'It is not always as seamless as it should be. Expect some funky lags now and then...." Read more

    "...This is a non touch screen in case you want that feature, I feel using a mouse is a lot more efficient than poking at the screen...." Read more

    "...It has no dedicated Left/Right buttons, and no tactile clues to where the virtual buttons are...." Read more

    "...This ASUS however has been a wonderful experience thus far. Fast. Responsive. Quiet. Performing. Beautiful display...." Read more

    Laptop actually 5.17 lbs (not 4.6 lbs as stated in the Product Details)
    1 Star
    Laptop actually 5.17 lbs (not 4.6 lbs as stated in the Product Details)
    Updated with BIG downgrade: The laptop we received never worked right. We had problems from the start. Since this is an old model, I won't bother to write much, other than this was a complete waste of money. Sometimes it would hang, sometimes it would suddenly shut down. Complete waste of money. We had it for years, but nobody trusted it, so it just sat there. Everyone in my family hated it. =====Original Review: This review is for the 17" ASUS VivoBook N705UD-EH76. It is the lightest 17" laptop I've ever seen, which its main appeal to me. UNFORTUNATELY, it is actually significantly heavier than the specs published by ASUS and Amazon.ASUS USA’s website says “4.6 lbs *Disclaimer: It may differ by product specifications.”Well, this particular model is more than half a pound (12%) heavier than that. The actual weight of N705UD-EH76 as purchased from Amazon is 5.17 lb = 2.345 kg. This model includes 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, 16GB RAM, and GTX1050, which are not part of the base model. Amazon doesn't even sell the base model, and I'm not sure the base model is actually available anywhere in the US.Ignoring the ethical question of whether or not this is false advertising (I certainly think it is, given that the weight is a main selling point of this model), it is still a very light for a 17" laptop. It has high-end hardware (middle-high for graphics card), which makes it look quite good on paper. It's not trying to compete with the current $2k gaming laptops, but it can do quite well if you don't need the hottest graphics card.Given that most of the time I'll just be using this for normal web browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, etc., I consider the input devices (keyboard and touchpad) to be of high importance in my rating of a computer.Keyboard is fine, considering it's designed for a thin and light laptop. If I were typing a novel, I'd use an external keyboard. Since I wanted very light weight, I am willing to accept a bit of a compromise on the keyboard, and I think they did okay here. Some have noted a few odd keyboard placement things. The Ctrl key on the right side is oddly as wide as a Shift key, which isn't all bad, but I would prefer a 2nd Windows key on the right (old school, I know). At least there is still the menu key; aka application key; between Alt and Ctrl on the right side. Several others have mentioned there is no dedicated End key, which I also find disappointing. ASUS doesn't supply a closeup of the keyboard configuration, so I'm attaching a picture of the right side (left side is pretty normal). At first I couldn't see the keyboard backlight because it was set to its lowest brightness by default. Use key combination fn+f4 to increase backlight, fn+f3 to decrease backlight.Style and/or economics won out over practicality with how much wasted space it has to the left and right of keyboard, also above and below. The keyboard appears to be the same size the use for 15.6" laptops, which probably helped keep the cost down. But it is unnecessarily crowded on the numeric keypad side. Still, not a fatal flaw.I HATE this style touchpad that all PC makers have copied from Apple. It has no dedicated Left/Right buttons, and no tactile clues to where the virtual buttons are. (Note, there are almost no new laptops for sale that do not have this type of touchpad, so it is not at all unique to this ASUS.) You have to be very careful to keep your thumb in the air rather than resting it on the buttons like people have been doing for 20 years. If you let your thumb touch while moving the cursor with the touchpad, it will interpret it as a two-finger gesture to zoom in or out. It's also very easy to right-click when you mean to left-click and vice-versa because there is no raised feature to give your thumb a clue of where the dividing line is. I don't know if other implementations of this button-less touchpad design are better, but using this pad makes me hope this design is just a fad. Maybe 2 stars for the touchpad, since it is still mostly usable.One more important point is that the battery life isn't very good. I think roughly two hours with a new battery. The relatively small (light) battery is part of why this laptop is light. I like this tradeoff since I will mostly be at home and can plug in when needed, so I care more about weight than battery life. It's hard to power a 17" screen very long without a big heavy battery. If you want long battery life, this is not your laptop.Still pleased with the machine. Would get 5 stars for good engineering compromises if it weren't for the terrible touchpad.
