★★★★☆ Pros: - full keyboard - backlit keyboard - was looking for a compact/non clunkly design and got it Cons: - the OEM windows installed had setting locked off (as if the computer was part of a corporation, idk why) which required group policy editor which isn't available on the Windows 10 Home version installed. I ended up installing 10 Pro from an installation disk i had on hand after formatting the drive Overall Review: Once I got through the re-installation of windows + updates + drivers everything has been great. I haven't gotten enough time playing games to adequately review the new Xie on-board graphics.

★★★★☆ Pros: Specs are perfect Ticks all the right boxes Cons: Backlit Silver Keyboard hard to see in daylight - have to turn off the backlight. Not a fan of the "Dreamy White" Overall Review: I purchased for a client - the laptop is all but perfect - good specs etc. I would of gone for black and not the white if they had stock, but white was the only colour available. I have purchased "silver keyboard" laptops before and it's a challenge to see the key lettering - best choice is backlight off during daylight and on during night time.

★★★★★ Pros: Graphics are great. The screen isn't grainy. The laptop itself is designed well and the red I picked out looks nice. I needed a laptop that was compatible with my school's requirements and this laptop meets all of them. It wasn't badly priced either. Cons: The only problem I have with this laptop is the battery. I wish it lasted longer before having to put it on the charger. Overall Review: Overall I would recommend this laptop for anyone that needed one for school or work. It definitely met all my needs. And this isn't relevant to the laptop but the shipping was super fast. I received it two days after purchasing it.

★★★★☆ Pros: -fast-sleek-great keyboard-no bloatware, just McAfee and Office (easy to remove)-excellent value Cons: - ASUS could have loaded the User Guide ahead of time. Overall Review: I've been an ASUS user for 12 years. Their products are will made and last. This laptop replaced an N53SV core i7 that I got in December 2010. It was still going strong. I hated to give it up; but it was getting impossible to buy replacement parts.Love the feel of the new keyboard and the matte silver finish is easy on the eyes. Took a while to figure out the Action Center was where I needed to go to get everything setup. I did not like being forced to go through Cortana to do the initial set up. I'm an old IT pro and used to doing stuff my way.A week into using this and I'm now comfortable with where ASUS moved some of the keys. I do miss not being able to jump to the top of the screen by just hitting the "home" key; hate that I have to press the fn at the same time.
