Serves my tablet needs perfectly

For the price this is an excellent tablet. I have a high end laptop that does convert to tablet but at almost 16" and the foldover design I normally just use it in laptop mode. I also have a high end "phablet" sized phone. So I was not sure how often I'd use a tablet, and did not want to spend 500ish on an ipad. The Fire has been a great "in between" so far on days I use my phone alot and want to avoid charging more than once per day, and don't have the need to use my laptop. The speed is zippy & the screen clarity/quality is good enough. Storage is even better than ipads since it is expandable (for now I use a 64 gb card giving me a total of 96 gb, but the expandable can go up to 200 gb). Tying into Amazon is nice since I have Amazon Prime). Basic web surfing, email & facebook work great. The only "bad" feature is the camera & video quality. But that does not matter to me since I have my high quality camera & video recorder on my phone. Only other slight negative is light bleed noticed just when booting up on grey screen. Color/brightness uniformity is perfect to my eyes once it is up & running. Really enjoying the kindle component for book & magazine reading as well. Overall, probably the best $100 I have spent in a long time.

Enjoy a personal entertainment station with this Asus laptop. High-powered graphics are supported by dedicated memory for more-than-casual gaming, and Intel Wireless Display lets you stream entertainment directly to your television screen for optimal sharing. Cloud support and 2TB hard drive space ensure plenty of capacity on this Asus laptop for all your files.

Best laptop at this price

Loving it so far. Combo of these specs can't be found with anything else around this price. Especially with SSD-512 gb + Hard Drive-2 tb storage. 16 gb of ram, 4K display as well make this a bit future proof hopefully for the next 5 yrs or so. The 2 in 1 feature is nice to have but I don't see myself going to tablet mode too often. That's what my separate tablet & smart phone are for. I got a wireless mouse which works perfectly. The built in mouse may be one of the few things I am not thrilled with. The brushed "chocolate" aluminum finish with gold hinges make this beautiful & premium looking. Due to this material it is a fingerprint magnet. But easily maintained with a microfiber cloth & at times a little bit of Windex. The facial recognition is neat & this thing is so fast with start up & shut down due to the SSD. From turned off to online & ready, probably about 10-15 seconds. Shut down much faster, if not shutting down with updates probably 5-7 seconds. So far the battery is actually ok. If using power saving mode (i.e. auto brightness) I get about 6-7 hrs. However I am not a gamer. Still a lot for me to tinker with but this is my feedback for now.
