> 3 dayI realize this is a $200 laptop. But still, the basic hardware ought to work, especially a new-model machine fresh out of the box. First time using it I noticed though it was plugged it was not charging. Jiggling/moving the power cord causes it to erratically charge, then stop charging. I don’t know at this point if the issue is the cord or the port, but it is definitely hardware related. Next I tried plugging it into my docking station using the USB-C port. Windows makes the “connected hardware” sound, but there is zero video output to my monitors and the machine doesn’t charge. USB-C port appears DOA as far as I can tell. Really disappointed because I read good reviews, the machine feels solid, and I love the size. But if the basic features don’t work straight out of the box, what’s the point??

Greater than one weekI was looking for a quick Laptop for school, and thought this was quick, safe to say I was wrong. The first day it froze on youtube videos and continues to do it. Word docs and tabs also freeze while I am trying to do school work. All I download is powerpoints and word docs and this thing is already out of space. Does the operating system take up all of it? I am a bit cranky because I hate doing schoolwork and getting slowed down by the pace. In total it is all right, good for a good basic procedure, and surprisingly does not overheat. I talked mainly about the pace, but the display is not sharp when it comes to pictures and colors. It forwent features for durability. It is a laptop that is cost-efficient for a youngster in high school or middle school because it can survive their shenanigans. It is also good for people with low laptop usage. Apart from that, it is best to just save a little more for another one.

> 3 dayScreen pixels are very low and the processor is very slow. It would be a pain to use it if you’ve been Macs.

> 3 dayIf you are on a strict budget this is not a bad machine. If you want to teach someone patience this is an excellent machine. Good starter computer for kids. Now I bought this believing it was a new machine. When I tried to register with ASUS I was informed it had already been registered which says this is a used machine. I am not pleased with that. For streaming and simple tasks this is a good machine. It does not multitask that well. Also the screen is a bit small for gmail if you have the emails and the preview screen open together. If you open each mail individually you’ll probably be ok. Very light so good for travel and the battery seems to last fairly long even when streaming. The 128Gb of storage should be good for lost especially if you use a cloud storage service.

> 3 dayI ordered this to travel with. The computer arrived fast and set up was really simple. Well, until I tried to download a couple of non MicroSoft (MS) apps and even Facebook. The windows S mode does not allow you to down load any apps that are not from MS. And it would not allow me to down load Facebook even from the MS store. The fix was a bit painful. I took win 11 out of S mode, did a reboot, etc. Still not able to down load non-MS apps or Facebook from the MS store. Searching the net, I found some people had success by reloading Win 11 after taking it out of S mode. I did that, downloaded 11 from the cloud, rebooted and everything is now working fine. Would I recommend this a as basic laptop. You bet!
