• Thin and light desktop replacement

  Bought it for Rs 65K. After using it for 2 weeks, here are the initial impressions:Pros:. ac wireless is very fast. I am getting 30MB/s download and upload to USB3 HDD plugged into my TP Link Archer C2600 router.. No flex on keyboard. The base is sturdy, lid is wobbly a bit, otherwise the whole build seems solid.. Sharp screen - With thin bezels and IPS, the images are vivid. Good for 3D work and movie watching.. Gpu is adequate for running current games at medium to low details. Its good enough for 3DS Max and other rendering packages.. TPM 2.0 present. It is recommended to use pro version of Windows to take advantage of the encryption features supported in hardware.. Battery lasts ~7hrs after 2-3 discharge cycles, moderate surfing, movie watching.. sound o/p is ok; as good as beats 2.1 setup in older laptop I was having. More louder also.. Less rubber - This laptop has less rubber so it will last long. I had to replace 5 year old HP laptop because the rubber parts around screen and lid had started rotting away and it was a mess cleaning it every time I opened it up.Cons:- Tight USB ports on left side - needs more force and might damage in long run- No kensigton lock port - why? This makes it unusable at most offices and workplaces.- No Ethernet; Using TP-Link UE300 USB adapter for ethernet which works well.- Stability: Intel Burn test passed but thermals is high, system getting stuck at times.- Drivers in website are hit or miss; tricky to install without setup program. It is recommended to save eSupport folder from the OEM installtion.- Cyberlink apps (Powerdirector, Photo Director) missing from downloads - You can image OEM installation as WIM file and unzip these apps from it after reinstalling Windows 10 freshly.- Air vents direct hot air to screen because they are at the hinges - dust accumulation after some time is seen- Easy to hit power button accidentally. Set the key action to nothing in windows as workaround.- Caps/num lk, hdd activity leds absent - The Caps lock is needed; others can be lived without.- Only Vga cam - My 5 year old laptop had HD resolution.

  Laptop got delivered within 2 days of purchase and the screen is stunning.Battery backup is around 6hours with lowest brightness and mild work(browsing facebook, listening to songs on earphones etc)Backlight keyboard has 3 brightness settingsTouchpad and fingerprint scanner are good.Webcam is insanely horribleLaptop was slow initially due to Windows update and lots of preinstalled apps plus the window store update. Took care of it by updating the windows , uninstalling Asus gift box , disabling the app store update and uniyal ling the McAfee antivirus(switch on your windows defender for antivirus)No heating issue during normal usage but while gaming for more than 2 hours continuously the laptop started heating and the fan started to make noise that was audible which is normal because it's not a gaming laptop( though you can play heavy games on it without any issues)It cools down quickly , within 5 minutes after closing the games it cooled down and came back to normal temp with no fan noiseBuild quality is good , Keyboard is decent and charging speed is good above normal.No odd, so you can install an SSD hard drive easliy.If you are looking for good quality laptop with attractive design , low weight , latest specs , price range under 60k and are a casual gamer then this is perfect laptop.I preferred this laptop over the Acers cheaper one because of weight , screen and build quality of this laptop is worth the price difference, plus the 2 years warranty ( says a lot).
