Small, quiet and powerful enough
What can I say?I was specifically looking for something small, lightweight and with performance that would cover my educational needs, in particular, working with special programs.Overall, I am happy with my choice.Good screen, normal sound. I do not listen to music on the laptop. For this I have good speakers and headphones but if do not nitpick, the sound is really good.This is not my first Asus. My first laptop was more productive and covered 100% of my needs but it was heavier and inconvenient to move. Also, in some places there was play and creaking. There were also light spots on the screen near the frame.This laptop does not have such problems. Nothing creaks, the screen is fine, although it has a different type of matrix but I really like it.It’s just a pity that you can’t choose a larger amount of RAM.

Light weight but fully loaded 14 inch ASUS laptop
I got a great deal on this top of the line fully loaded ASUS laptop on sale for $899. The OLED screen is one of the best Iâve ever seen on a laptop, and Iâve been in the IT business for three decades. The brightness and color accuracy would benefit anyone doing video editing or graphic arts. If youâve never had an OLED tv or monitor youâre in for a treat. Each pixel produces light just like the old plasma monitors. Black is literally black. Colors are vibrant and stunning. HDR video is breathtaking. The laptop is ultra lightweight but sturdy metal construction. It has a high end Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU with 16 GB RAM memory and a huge 1 TB solid state hard drive which means this is a beast capable of running complex operations like virtual machines, video rendering, and AI onboard. I can run two external HD monitors while using the onboard OLED monitor at the same time. It has a micro SD card slot for all you drone pilots, vloggers, photographers, and videographers. Two built in USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports in addition to two old school superspeed powered USB-A ports and an HDMI port. The power supply connects on the side through one of the USB-C ports, so in my setup at home I use a powered USB-C hub to connect the external monitors and other peripherals. Plenty of inexpensive portable USB-C hubs are on Amazon for travel purposes. This laptop is so lightweight that you wonât hesitate to take it with you. The keyboard has good action for an ultra portable, and you can control the backlight colors. I have big hands and have no trouble typing on this excellent keyboard. The trackpad is excellent, although I tend to use a wireless mouse when at home and when traveling. The only criticism I have of this laptop is the heat produced and the fan noise when running tasks that shouldnât be taxing to this modern CPU like web browsing. The dual fans do a good job venting heat through the back but are very loud. I havenât yet tested how this effects video calls but even if noise cancelling software blocks the sound for the call It will be loud on your end. That is the case on telephone calls and so the fan noise and heat is enough to zonk my rating down to four stars. An M3 CPU MacBook Air costs more but doesnât have the heat or noise problems.

originally had problems, they were all user error
I had some issues right away with lagging and not booting up. It was all user error. Bitlocker doesn’t allow it to boot up if it is connected to the internet via usb. and I had to turn off a lot of the start up apps and remove unused apps from my old computer when I transferred everything over. Now I love this computer.

Crashed evertime I woke it up
Right after I got this laptop, it was working fine. Then, about a few weeks in, I started getting a lot of weird bugs: the laptop would either crash and have to be reset every time it fell asleep, or it would close all of my opened apps every time it was asleep. Sometimes when I let it charge overnight, the fans wouldn’t work in the morning, so I had to hard reset it. I went through may trouble shooting options and contacted asus’s support multiple times. They tried to assist in resolving the issues, every thing the suggested never worked. It got to the point where I was going to try to factory reset it to see if that would fix all of the issues, as Asus support suggested. However, every time I tried to factory reset it, it would either get stuck on 62% or update the loop. I wish I would have just stuck with Mac; as a Compsci student, this caused a lot of issues, and I will probably never buy from Asus again.

Overall good except fan noise in heavy load
There are 3 things that I didn’t like about it. Firstly, those mfs say it is 120Hz but it isn’t. They send me one with 60Hz display. Secondly, the laptop gets extremely noisy on heavy load. I have to swtich to standart fan mode when I’m building my projects. Thirdly, it came with pre installed windows 11 which sucks. I noticed a number of bug in this windows. I’m a software engineer and I also have bachelors degree in computer science. So I know what am I writing about. That’s it. Overall laptop is good, solid build quality, lightweight and oled screen looks awesome. If those 3 problems above aren’t the case for you you should buy it. I also did some gaming on it and I am satisfied with it.
