Very good internal spec for the price. Most of the money has gone here and the display. Windows worked flawlessly and the overall experience was “snappy”
Display is fantastic. Very good colour reproduction and sharp enough. Bright enough to eliminate glare. Can’t ask for much more at this price
Keyboard has decent travel and the keys feel good with not much flex on the chassis as you type. There’s a num pad on the right that is good if you like that sort of thing, slightly bad if not as it gives you smaller keys.
Cons -
Trackpad. Awful quality. Huge amount of flex either side. Quite worrying in a way
Build. It’s decent enough but largely plastic. It’s exactly what you think of when you say £500 windows laptop.
It’s heavy and big.
Webcam is 720p and not a good 720 either.
Speakers are tinny.
Can’t one finger open. Hinges are good the movement is fine though, it’s just not smooth.
So there we have it. Pros and cons however I will say that it’s £500 so expectations should be set. It was easily the best of the laptops in Currys at a similar price. The ONLY windows laptops that had infinitely better builds were the Microsoft Surface Laptops and the Samsung Pros (edited)
The chassis is plastic but decent enough quality for what it is. The 14" versions of this have the better displays at 2.8K, 16:10 and 90Hz.
Mostly it's an excellent display with mainstream components engineered by a poor manufacturer.
The bloody thing even went back for a repair under warranty and they said it was fine! I'd been a fan of Asus since early 2000s when I first got into motherboards and graphic cards but this laptop has totally changed my opinion about them. (edited)

It's plastic but it's solid, Wouldn't say the build quality is bad at all, better than my 4 year old Samsung and the track pad seems decent enough, screen is lovely compared to any IPS LCD. Got is down to £423 with smart saving discounts if you have access to that.
