Internet speed id slow verses older Desktop running windows 10, and ann adroid phone. Using wifi on all units side by side, win10 =80-90 mips, android 40-50 mips asus = 13-15 mips. Not what would expect for this machine. That is bare minimum for most internet scanning.

I haven’t had my ASUS 17” laptop very long so I can’t evaluate it on a lot of criteria but my impressions so far are all very positive. The size is great, the design is excellent, set-up was done online and it was a very efficient, comprehensive and easy process. Battery life (although without a lot of usage up to this point) seems to be real good. I’m very happy with this laptop purchase.
Slow Restarting! Takes longer than my previous 15 year old laptop to restart!

Dear FlyBoyz
Thank you for reaching out.
We do understand your disappointment with the laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing slow system restart. You will experience slow system restart or reboot after the initial WINDOWS setup and while installing all cumulative and featured WINDOWS Update. This may take a longer time depending on the network traffic from the updated server and the stability of your high-speed internet service. Also, the laptop will do several system reboots, black screen temporarily or restart during the update process. Once the initial setup and WINDOWS Update installation are completed, system speed or performance will be optimized. Keeping the laptop updated will maintain optimum system stability and performance. Additionally, while accessing web applications, ensure this laptop has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will definitely affect system speed and performance. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "My ASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the laptop, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/. If you need further assistance with this product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help.
