> 3 dayOverall, the laptop works fine. I got it as a graduation gift and plan to use it throughout undergrad. However (and this drives me absolutely crazy), the screen is constantly yellow. Ive fiddled with the settings multiple times, and sometimes, the screen will appear normally like it should, but most of the time it has a yellow sheen. This makes it so that the screen itself is super dim. If you use a dark app (say Spotify), when you return to a lighter screen, its darker than before. I know it can be lighter because when its plugged in, the screen is bright, even if still yellow, but as soon as you unplug it, its super dim, even when brightness is turned all the way up. Makes it almost impossible to use in bright light, like sitting outside or even in my room with the screen facing a window. It seems like its a problem with the computer because a bunch of other people online have the same issue and no one seems to have found a way to definitively fix it. Sometimes the computer just freezes too. Not very often, but it will just freeze and I have to force shut it down and hope it turns back on right. Considering thats what happened to my last computer, I am not a very happy camper at the moment.

> 3 dayOverall satisfied, had this as a replacement for an old Dell Latitude, which, compared to this, was a battle tank. It came with more RAM than advertised, 20Gb actually, which is a huge plus. I use it for Kubuntu Linux and for the first time Ive had issued running a distro after install -- had to revert to a previous kernel to make it boot. With the right kernel, it works like a charm. The screen is OK at night or with low lights, but during the day I find myself adjusting its tilt to make it more visible. The keys feel a bit loose, but theyre comfortable enough. The trackpad is huge although Im more of a mouse person. Overall, this is a nice machine for the price. Good price-value ratio. Im treating it right to make it last. I still havent tried its graphics, but will soon. Will possible update this review. An SSD upgrade is also in the plans.

> 3 dayThe computer stopped working after 3 months and Asus does not help getting the computer to them and then they want to charge to fix it stating it was purchased through a third party vendor. I would not buy any Asus product again.

> 3 dayFirst I will say like others have said it does come with 20 gb ram in it. The price isnt to bad and the overall experience of use was alright, but I expected with so much ram that I wouldnt have much issue but I did. I am horrible at closing tabs I will find something and want to check it out later and leave the tab up. A few days of this and I get 10+ tabs up. That is where the issue happens it can not run great with a lot of tabs open. I have a gaming laptop I bought in 2013 that runs way better then it with this. I still would have given the laptop a higher rating but because I wasnt happy with the fact that it couldnt handle one of my main issues I returned it. The problem was they charged me around $100 restocking fee. I think it came out to exactly 20%. I wasnt told there would be a restocking fee and when I called up amazon to find out if I missed something they agreed and sent the company a message. A short bit later I got an email from them saying they were allowed to charge me that, so I called amazon again and asked what was going on. They still agreed with me that I shouldnt have been charged the fee and are trying to deal with it. I almost never do reviews but I felt after this experience if you are on the fence this might help. I am not saying it is a terrible product but I wont buy from the seller again after my experience. If they had been up front about the restocking fee it would have been a bit different but $100 for a $470 laptop( when I bought it that is what it was) is way to much imo

> 3 dayif you plan on using it for anything and i mean anything other than googling, your gonna wanna bring a charger with you. The screen is rather dull and lacks vibrance, not my choice for netflix without a second external monitor. However it packs enough punch to play some games and runs autocad like a charm. Overall a good computer unless you dont have an outlet nearby

> 3 dayThe laptop is great but I ordered a used one that said it had nothing wrong with it and was like new until I tried to use the camera and I got the message no camera connected and that sucked cause I can’t do school but now a couple months after I bought it, it randomly freezes up and won’t turn back on for around 10 minutes and when I tried to message the guy he never responded so if you do buy this, buy a new one.
