There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Needless to say, for a laptop that is almost $400 cheaper than its rivals, there are some compromises. The screen is only HD and not the current QHD on most higher-priced laptops. But seriously, it is a 13" screen. The text on 1080P is already tiny for my bifocal wearing eyes, how small would it be at 2560? That's not a deal breaker for me. The USB-C does not support power or display port. You still need the (standard ASUS) Power adapter to plug it in. There is only a 256GB SSD option and it is SATA-III. Finally it only comes with Win-10 Home, a Core I7 should have Pro. I did spend the money for a Pro upgrade.
All things considered, it is hard not to like this laptop. For a light weight easy to transport laptop it is excellent The I7 CPU provides plenty of power for almost any portable use. The machine powers up quickly and smoothly, the fingerprint reader works flawlessly (for me). For my use, I just could not justify paying an extra $350 - 400 for a similarly spec'd laptop. And I have had excellent experiences with Asus products. this laptop is an more than adequate replacement for my 6 year old desktop and laptop combo.
This is my first impressions only but as time goes on I will update
Unboxing (5/5)
It was hard to get out of the box because how tight it was packed which is a good thing because if it gets knocked around during shipping it doesn't have anywhere to go.
Build Quality/Feel (4/5)
It doesn't feel as premium as I thought it would but it does still feel amazing. It's seems very slippery and easy to drop so be careful when handling it. If you don't smash the thing you should be fine for years to come.
Audio (3.5/5)
This in my opinion is the worst part of the laptop. It's still better than most but I was expecting a little more. When it comes to ultra books you can't expect to much esspecially at this price point.
Screen (4/5)
It has a very bright screen and very accurate colors. However there is some shine to it which is why I took off a point
Battery (5/5)
This will beat most if not all laptops out there. Around 10 hours battery life and as I do heavier work on it I should get around 7 which is hours better than most.
Keyboard (5/5)
It took a few hours to get used to it however once I did it was amazing. The keys are far apart from each other which is wierd when switching from my desktop keyboard to the laptop. The keys are tactile. I also like key travel when change this has. Note that keyboards are preference based.
Trackpad (5)
I heard some bad things about the trackpad but It seems amazing to me. Maybe time will tell as it's only my first impressions. One gripe I did have with it is the clicks are loud but not something I would take off a point for.
Overall it's a 5 stars because if you do look at it separately you will find problems but as a whole it's a beast.
I believe that the cause of this is that the computer generates electrical interference of some sort at 60hz, which is what the display is set at by default. But because it also comes with a video setting enabled called "Panel Self-Refresh" which causes the video card NOT to send a refresh every 1/60 of a second in order to conserve battery power, by default the display isn't actually running at 60hz despite it being set at that refresh rate.
Watching a 1080p movie on Netflix kicks the display into a frequency that causes the flickering to become apparent.
To make the problem go away, turn off all battery-saving settings that have to do with video, especially "Panel Self-Refresh," and then set the display refresh rate to 48hz, and there will be no more flickering.
You can also make the flickering go away by connecting it to an external monitor with an HDMI cable. That acts as a ground for the video system and makes the flickering go away.
I give this laptop 1-star for what is either a design flaw or a common manufacturing defect. I recommend that you don't buy this.
Top reviews from other countries
1) Amazingly light!
2) Nice size and fits in my backpack
3) Useful if you are a student and need to transport it around
Bad points:
1) Despite buying it on the amazon.com.au website and despite this being a Taiwanese model, it is made for a US market and ships from USA. Hence it comes with a US plug point and YOU NEED AN ADAPTER for use in Australia.
I've had this laptop for about 4 months and so far so good. The only I encountered in that my screen started flashing (it's hard to describe...), but this probably stopped after I completed the regular software update.
I really like the colour. I had a mac before this, and though I do miss Garageband, this laptop has been working just as well for me and is much more reasonably priced. I just need to remeber to keep the anti-virus software updated!
My cat also loves this laptop - he loves sitting on it and walking across the keyboard. So far, the laptop has survived all cat-related assaults!
