Verified Purchase:Yes
As someone who is an average gamer and utilizes allot of heavy software such as autocad, revit, etc I needed a computer that would be able to keep up with my pace. Also, living off of a college student budget, I had to be realistic about my price range. I've done allot of research in hopes of finding that perfect laptop to replace my old Hp, and the only one with my desired specs, price and asthetic ended up being the Asus534. I was a little wary, the best buy reviews are pretty mixed when it comes to this laptop and there aren't allot of videos on youtube or other sites reviewing it either. That being said, I figured I would try to write a helpful review for someone else out there in the same situation.
Pros:
The screen is beautiful, though I have seen some reviews remarking it is not a true 4k screen, the image clarity is still gorgeous. It is fast and able to keep up while running multiple windows and programs. The start up time is around 7 seconds, much like others have uncovered. There is plenty of storage, however you will want to make sure your downloaded software is moved to the hard drive or it will automatically download to the 512 solid state drive, which fills up allot quicker. Despite there being only one small vent on the back, I personally I have not had any overheating issues. There is a sound to it but it is not unbearable. The tablet feature hasn't really been an issue but I only really keep it in the tent position when watching netflix.
Cons:
This is a laptop speaker, so I can't really say much for quality but my biggest issue is if you are listening to something while working, the sound will stop for a second every once a while. It's not enough to ruin the music but it is just enough for you to notice and become annoyed. The mouse is quick for the most part, but i have noticed that if you are using it for a while it starts to become sluggish and you feel like you have to drag it along. If you restart, it's fine. The buttons on the side are pretty stiff, which can be annoying when turning it on or adjusting the volume. The usb ports are also pretty stiff, to a point where you have to force your drive in almost, but I am hoping they'll loosen overtime. I haven't really used my subwoofer but I am not positive if it works. Lastly, there some of my programs where it's hard to use because the font and layout is so small. I am sure this is something I can adjust, but to those who aren't computer savy you may have difficulties fixing it. Also, finger prints are this computer's best friend. This really isn't a huge issue, and if you've read other reviews i'm sure you're aware.

Overall, I am pretty happy with my purchase. There are very few perfect windows computers, which is something to keep in mind when looking for your new laptop. My biggest suggestion is too do as much research and ask as many questions as you can before dropping 1,400 dollars. I hope this was helpful!
