I'm replacing a different manufacturer"s laptop that became unbearably slow after updating Win 10. My specs were Intel i9 processor. SS 1TB hard drive, and not manufactured by my old laptop manufacturer. Connectivity is also important to me and this laptop includes a type C port in addition to three other USB ports. And I wanted it to run MS11; my old one would not upgrade to MS11. I usually run Linux Fedora 38 on my main computer and wanted a dedicated MS11 computer even though I could run both operating systems on the same computer. I'm over 80 so the 17 inch screen vs the 14 in screen of my old laptop will help me visually. Asus was recommended to me as a brand; I chose the computer from this brand. If you order from the store be prepared to wait a week of working days for it to show up; FedEx ground is slower than molasses in January or Owl manure in February; familiar with both on a personal basis. It's probably a little premature to write an operational review as I barely got the computer out of the box; haven't even started it after charging the battery for the requisite 3 hrs before turning it on. And I intend to use it and adobe photo shop to scan pictures for genealogical purposes along with Libre office as my office suite; remember I'm a Linux person. I got turned off to microsoft about 7 years ago but my very favorite model railroad CAD program only runs on a Windows box; darn it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
