Solid build coupled with power

ASUS, you've done it again. I've seen my share of PCs in my time. But ASUS and HP have taken the design to the next level. This ASUS laptop seems to be the perfect mix of classy exterior and powerful i5 processor with lots of storage and more RAM than any non-gamer or animation artist would ever need.
The build quality is solid. The slim fan at the back is fairly quiet, and the hinges are firm but smooth in moving. The webcam is of above average quality, and the mic is average. Sound is slightly above average, but tinny when it gets too loud.
Touch screen is thin, reducing the parallax when drawing/tapping on the screen while viewing at an angle, this is a huge improvement over some other similar products. The screen is also bright enough to be comfortable, but due to the glossy glass, you may find glare to be an issue if sitting directly in front of a window.
The battery life is alright. Not the most you'll get out of a laptop, but you pay for the beautiful 1080p resolution screen and i5 processor. I tend to get between 4 and 5 hours when battery saver is on and screen brightness is medium-low.
For the price, I'd say 90/100
Build quality 95/100
Looks 100/100
Overall experience 90/100

Is the video grahics card upgradeable?
The GPU on this computer is "on-board" graphics, which means that the CPU is integrated to do the graphics, instead of a separate chip. This computer is so compact and streamlined, that there is no room for expandable card anyway, even if that was an option.

I just purchased this one and so far...the positives outweigh the negative. One big question I have is about "windows defender". Is this a virus protection?? Don't seem to see anything else that looks like a protection on this machine....which is rare.
Hi!
Yes, windows defender is a virus protection that is built with windows and functions alright. I would recommend downloading and installing Avast free anti-virus. It's light on system resources, and works well for a free program. Other protection I would recommend is AVG. But like I said. Enabling Windows Defender to do all that it can will certainly cover most if not all of your bases. It is what I am testing personally, and thus far (2 months) I haven't had an issue.
