- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018Style: Core i7 | 512GB SSD | GeForce 940MX | BlueVerified PurchaseGreat Laptop with amazing specs. Have it for about 11 months now. been using it for 6 days a week for the past couple months for work purposes and runs smoothly and efficiently. Sturdy for the most part. One of the best features is all the ports that comes with the laptop in addition to a CD Drive. HDMI, VGA, SD card slot and more. Even a SS USB3 slot. Highly recommended laptop with the 512 GB SD Har drive.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018Style: Core i7 | 512GB SSD | GeForce 940MX | BlueVerified PurchaseWish I bought something else...
I do not use this laptop often and have only owned it for a little under a year and it crashed. Tried to restart and it goes right to bios. Now it can’t find a boot device.... ???
- after consulting Asus, they said I needed to pay for repairs. I diagnosed it myself and found it was a bad SSD. I lost all my info. I Replaced the SSD with a better model than what was installed.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2017Style: Core i7 | 512GB SSD | GeForce 940MX | BlueVerified PurchaseRuns great, has a cheap feel but that should be expected at this price considering the quality of the internals. My only real gripe is the size of the right shift button and placement of the up arrow key. I work with spreadsheeets all day and I've accidentally clicked the up arrow when going for the shift key quite often. Other than the very poor placement of the up key, this is a very quality machine at this price point.
Another note is the screen isn't a bright and glossy screen like most but I prefer that.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018Style: Core i7 | 512GB SSD | GeForce 940MX | BlueVerified PurchaseWorked great for a while. I paid an extra $100 to upgrade to Windows Professional. But there is a loose connecton which now causes the video to flicker and go black! Disappointed! Also, as other have mentioned, the WiFi is horrible. It takes a while to con next when waking up or booting. Unacceptable! Also, the hdmi and vga ports are too close together to run dual monitors, but I did manage to get it working by using a Dremel to cut the post off my video cable. If not for these problems I would be happy with performance, but the video flicker is the worst thing ever!
