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.

Good Product

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.

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.

Summary: Great computer, great value.

Thin computer, works fast, there is a problem with exiting sleep mode, the computer does not wake up and need to be turned off by force and restarted, a problem that could not be solved

Microsoft 365 is junk. The software is like going backwards. Been using Windows 7 with Office 2010. Soooo many features were far better on the old software. The laptop itself does not have the greatest keyboard. Keep having to retype words. It is annoying to have Mcafee keep popping up ads for their services.

This unit failed out of the box and would not power up. It was returned with all original packaging and items but Gimme a Hug claims the accessories were missing. They kept 19% for a dead PC.

Screen was flickering from the very first moment I opened the laptop. I had to return it right away, simply unacceptable to get a product with such a problem.

Great battery life. Amazing speed. Great purchase
