Second day of the SECOND computer. Returned the first computer (Lenovo) due to set-up issues. THIS one has problems with freezes and a disappearing curser. Im down 1600 bucks and still no computer working.

This is the best laptop Ive ever bought. Outperforms the more expensive ones Ive had in the past. Like this so much, my mom bought one also. Fires up quickly. Performs well. No complaints.

I have been building and buying computers for years, I mainly used desktops because of the work I do, mostly engineering programs and it was much cheaper for me to build a powerful desktop with the graphics I needed then buy a laptop. I bought my wife a Asus laptop for her birthday 8 years ago (I7 with touch screen) I was impressed and bought a few more a year or two later for our CNC programmers to use on the floor. My wife still uses hers and it still performs pretty damn good. So l bought this one for myself. I am not extremely impressed but not really disappointed. It boots up in less then 10 seconds from off to desktop, so that is decent. Everything seems to operate at reasonable speed, I could do without the bloat ware. I just expected a little more lightning speed in a computer. Battery life, not measured but seems a little short, screen seems adequate.

I searched the internet before buying if this laptop has a second slot to expand the storage. I even found videos on youtube of the S533, but this version, which is that the S533 does not have the second port. I do not know why. Im very disappointed. See the photo.

I have found that this system is mainly for web, and small type of work. It has very limited option to upgrade, the way the memory is used is different from standard units. My model has 16gm Ram but only 9gb usable as RAM the other is for virtual memory, with a pagefile size of less than 3GB. The RAM is soldered! No upgrade, period. It is using some of the ram as virtual. Which somehow gives some fast operation. I replaced de 500GB M.2 for a 1TB. It can use up to 2TB. that is the only upgrade that can be installed. From Windows 11 system info I get the following related to memory usage and configuration. Also RAM memory is shared with the video display.

that there are more RAMed same model with a teribyte of RAM and touch screen

No problems with charging, etc. But the desktop screen is renewing itself even though no refresh is intended.

Summary: Great computer, great value.
